Here we are at Port Pin Roland ready to set off on a week’s sailing off the French coast.

We travelled down by Eurostar to Marseilles, then a local train and finally a taxi. We arrived in plenty of time to check the boat… Experience says this is time well spent and we proved it again this time… spotted a loose VHF antenna so the charter guys went up the mast to fix it.

So we are all ready to set off in the morning.
