En France 18

 

The Arpege family gathering has sailed. Only to be replaced by other familiar faces.

Pen Duick ll hoves into view.

Quickly followed by Pen Duick V.

Securing ahead of Stargazer and diligently setting about their chores.
 

Aboard Stargazer exciting news is arriving.

Daryl and Shirley text that Dream Catcher, their Bavaria 42, has arrived in Viveiro, on the north coast of Spain. Three days and six hours out of Plymouth. Recounting that they “sailed the whole way. . . . with a lot of wind and some very large seas, at times." A Biscay baptism to be proud of.

And the JPK yard, in Lorient, e mails an invitation, to come aboard a JPK 39 Fast Cruiser, to "see what all the noise is about."

First though, I have fresh patisserie to consume. . . . .

. . . . castle walls to admire and my sixtieth birthday to celebrate.
