Boisbarbu - Re: Pot luck BBQ in Ronne

Yesterday night when we arrived in Borgholm (isle of Oeland) just before midnight, we could hear very strong rock music from many nautical miles away !!! We almost decided to keep sailing to Kalmar, as the music was so loud ! Fortunately as soon as we moored in Borgholm marina, the concert completed with a song of Johnny Halliday, translated to Swedish. Then, we had a wonderful fireworks. Of course, we believe this was to welcome Boisbarbu ! Thanks to Cecilia and Joel, for this kind organization !. read more...

Boisbarbu - Pot luck BBQ in Ronne

Meanwhile we had a nice and friendly BBQ on the docks of Ronne (south harbour of the isle of Bornholm, Danmark), the colours and incredible shapes of the sky, scattered the BBQ participants, frightened by the coming gale. The wind blew strongly for 15 minutes, then stopped. No rain ! Gérard, S/Y BoisbarbuIMG_1214 IMG_1218. read more...

Boisbarbu - Log day 0 - Getting to the Rallye from France

It took Boisbarbu (Feeling 1090, 36ft) a month to join Schilksee, coming from France. A nice daylight only sailing with superb weather, mainly with north east light winds. Very few motoring, which is great. We took our time to visit and had a wonderfull stop in Lymington, where I had the chance to participate to the Around the Island (Wight) regatta, invited as a crew on Jumbuck. Then I am spending sometime here to find a place to winter the boat in a "bootswerft" around Kiel. As all my log book is already published on my website, you can have a look on:http://boisbarbu.free.fr/2014/jdb2/2014jdb2.htmand http://boisbarbu.free.fr/2014/jdb1/2014jdb1.htmfor saling route details and pictures.Gerard, S/Y BoisbarbuIMG_1127. read more...
