Marine Traffic has new owners and the plug-in we used no longer works. Until this can be fixed, please use their site directly, which is at www.marinetraffic.com/. Digimap continues to provide information to Marine Traffic for the whole of the Bay of Saint Malo area, and we hope that is of assistance with your boating.

Useful French nautical terms – icdept.cgaux.org/pdf_files/English-Frenc… The French tend to use “coefficient” to highlight the range of the tide. Essentially this is a percentage. The coefficient can vary between 20 and 120. The higher the coefficient, the larger the tidal range. See www.shom.fr/en/activities/activites-scie… This is a useful, official site – maree.shom.fr/ Please call the marinas direct if you wish to find out how busy they are. Nearly all the Brittany and Normandy marinas DO NOT take reservations and so beware of 3rd party sites offering bookings. Before you visit a marina, have a look at the YouTube channel to familiarise yourself with some of the marinas – www.youtube.com/channel/UCrLqAsXKGHqxQRj… If you have a Princess V39, V40 or indeed any Princess V Class, or know someone who does, please send them a link to the Facebook group www.facebook.com/groups/princessv39/
