Visit beautiful Île d'Ouessant (Island of Quessant)

After passing by that island off the coast of France at least a dozen times, I got to wondering what it was. For those who don't know, it's a tourst destination and quite picturesque. Too bad I can't anchor the sub offshore and visit the island for some R&R.

That island is also known as Ushant.

The British lost several wooden ships on that island in the 17th and 18th centuries.
