Pornichet

We arrived in the isle de Yeu in rising winds and they continued to rise
until they were screaming in the rigging. No boats came in or left and we
were content to stay put as the rain lashed the boat. We did no more
sightseeing other than the local super market and rested up and stayed dry



On the second night the winds had blown through and the following morning we
had a pleasant sail up across the Loire estuary to Pornichet which is beside
La Baule. I actually managed to phone through to secure a berth, which for
me being on the VHF and in French was a bit of an achievement!

Today is a scorcher and we are preparing the boat for 'honoured guests'
Esther and Olly

So tomorrow we hire a car to collect them from Nantes. Unfortunately we have
to hire the car from La Baule.



Another customs check and they asked if we had more than $10,000 in cash. I
said please find it and we will split it in half!
