Buoy West  La Plate and  the lighthouse  LA  VIEILLE Pointe du raz Finistère :

An inhabitant of Douarnenez would tell you that it is advisable to make an offering when one crosses the Raz de Sein for the first time. For that purpose, one has to wait for the boat being in that west alignment of the  buoy West La plate and the lighthouse La Veille, one has to throw a coin and to say the following prayer :

« Ma Doué, me sekourit  pa  sklejan ar Raz, ma vag a zo bihan, hag ar mor a zo braz ».

(My god, help me at the pointe du Raz, my boat is so small, the sea is so huge.)
