Parle' vous English


Ok. I'm sick of talking about the weather so lets just say we wanted to visit France!
Brest in Brittany to be exact. Nice place and the food is gorgeous. 
Marina du Chateau. 
Plenty of people speak English. Thank goodness Embarrassing isn't it when your French is atrocious ! But we are making an effort - just wish we had been more prepared in that department. 
  Our jib furling mech jammed on the way here. Tut! another thing - so have just had it repaired. 
We realise what it means to have too much sail up on this Hunter Legend 37.5 now. She rears towards the wind like a Stallion.  After a reef she regains her composure and sails beautifully. 
Tied the headsail up as best we could till we moored up. 
Bit of excitement today when a huge trimaran turned up. Due to leave shortly on a circumnavigation world record attempt.
