Time Out

Apologies to those of you who have been hanging on my every word ;-) We have had visiting crew aboard Follyfin since my last post, so there has been no time for blogging in between sleeping, sailing, fishing, eating, drinking etc. etc. You get the picture?

We have had superb sunny and warm weather since arriving back at Follyfin. With Wendy and Kevin we enjoyed a leisurely trip down the Vilaine river from Redon, then out to sea and across to Hoedic island, visiting Rieux and La Roche Bernard en route. Unfortunately one member of the crew suffered from mal de mer en route to Hoedic, not helped on arrival by a slight centre-temps with a couple of fishermen with whom we 'discussed' (in best pidgin French) who had priority on a particular pontoon berth. All adverse events were dissolved by a brisk walk to the west end of the island the following morning.

All too soon it was time to say farewell to our now competent crew - it was their second cruise with us - as we waved them off on the bus to Vannes, from where they could catch a train back to Redon and retrieve their car.

In the next post the adventures of Mr James Dash, aka Cabin Boy, aboard Follyfin will be revealed ...
