Dandelion 63

After fours days of tall masted Windjammers . . . . 

. . . . and apple cheeked Botters, from the low countries.

Of, Singing In the Rain. . . . .

. . . .and Walking On Sunshine.

Of, the small ships which shaped. . . .

. . . .the French sailing psyche.

The first ever Fetes Maritimes de la Rochelle draws to a close. Its stars disperse to sea. The admiring crowds drift home.

It has been a nautical seventh heaven.

Let us hope that the seafaring spectacular will return, for a reprise next year.
