Topic: Les Dirouilles


  
  Les Ecrehous   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
Les Écrehous are a granite reef some six miles off the north east corner of Jersey and eight miles from Cap de Carteret, the nearest point on the Normandy coast.
The streams in the Passe de l'Etoc between Les Dirouilles, a smaller and more exposed reef to the west, and Les Écrehous are particularly strong and overfalls form both here and to the south of Les Écrehous - so that you have to ferry glide in on bearings before reaching the shelter of the reef.
In the seventeenth century Les Écrehous were renowned as a route for smuggling between England and France when trade was prohibited either during war or as a result of Mercantilist theory or was made prohibitively expensive because of the level of custom's dues.

Among these are Ouessant/Ushant, Bréhat, Île de Batz, and Îles Saint-Marcouf (under French jurisdiction), and the Isle of Wight, and Isles of Scilly (under UK jurisdiction).

In order to have slack water during the most remote part of the crossing, and a slight push towards Les Ecrehous, I aimed to set off from Bordeaux harbour at 4:00 am.
I headed north of Sark and after a total of 2 hours paddling I was just NE of the harbour and ready to begin the biggest crossing of the day, to the reefs of Les Dirouilles and Les Ecrehou.
As the hours ticked by I settled into a strong pace and was pleased to see the heads of Les Dirouilles reef by 10:00am.
