We left La Rochelle early for the final 30 sm trip to Port Bourgenay. Even the best holidays do come to an end and the last day sailing was sweetened with great wind and waves. The marina was pretty busy and strong winds were pushing from the back. So we provided some entertainment (aka: …
In the morning we took the last (for Benoit) short leg to La Rochelle. The arrival at La Rochelle with a boat is always impressive, especially when you enter the Vieux Port (old port) through the entrance towers. The visitor platforms are in the town centre. Arriving at around lunchtime the kids enjoyed themselves …
The kids were still asleep as we lifted the anchor heading to Ile d’Aix an island 19 miles away to have another stopover to finally get to La Rochelle where Benoit was going to leave us to go back to Paris. It was a great sailing trip and just when we thought it can’t …
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 …
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 …
In between our leg to Noirmoutier we changed our minds and decided to head to another island called Ile d´Yeu. The Reason was the lack of winds which were not very promising for the next couple of days too. As we anyhow wanted to travel to this island we thought it is nicer to explore …
Saturday morning we left our sweet little spot Ile d'Houat for a short jump to the sister island called Ile d'Hoëdic - just to find another fancy tiny French island. The bay, where we wanted to stay, was pretty crowded so we needed some time to find the right place to let the anchor go. …
OMG ! There’s no need to comment our disastrously played football game! Even though we were very supportive. Well hell, shit happens... Frustratet we ate our beautiful unknown fish and the world looked much better again. 😋 who the hell cares about football 😉 This is the only pic we took from our fishThe next …
What a surprising cruise! We left after a good night of sleep and a strong wake up coffe and said goodbye to this beautiful little group of Islands. We started off with a nice breeze of wind sailing hard to the wind for a couple of hours when the wind suddenly decided to disappear. This …
After a beautiful day and night of sailing in perfect weather conditions ( especially nice at the beginning of a trip 😉) we reached les Glénan pretty early (much earlier than we thought) . Altimate seemed to be very happy to be in the water again , she speeded us to our destination. Not only …
