Ile de Ré (7./8. July 2018)
In the late afternoon we anchored in a bay at Ile de Ré. And as it was quite a hot day we all enjoyed a jump into the very cold blue. (At least it cools you down within seconds 😉 ). We closed the day with el capitano’s pizza. Sunday we decided to stay …
Les Sable d’Olonnes (5./6. July 2018)
Having the kids on board is sooooooo nice ( mummy is happy 🙂 )! We had a relaxing Friday with grocery shopping at a beautiful (beautiful because of the food 😉 ) market and strolling around Les Sables. And of course slowly preparing for the next game! What a success :-), the French team won …

Ile d’Hoëdic

One way around as we sail
Here the sun goes down in the evening as we pass Ponichet And here she comes back next morning as we are between Belle Isle and les Glénan ... still 4 Hours to go
On our way to Les Glénan
One hour ago we left Bourgenay and as always the first maneuvers are being done with a high level of adrenaline. We'll pass Les Sables-d'Olonne soon and it will take until tomorrow late afternoon to arrive at high tide. Sabine always sails fast...with nice wind from the back
The start…
Good start with a free business upgrade from BA to London 😀. Still 22 hours to go until arrival at Nantes.
