Silver Slipper, Les Sables d' Olonne
Well we have spent a fantastic 8 weeks since we left our home port of
Brixham. Now moored up in Les Sables d'Olonne after another great day at sea.
We are meeting my boys in La Rochelle on the 12/08 and then plan to cross Biscay
to Santander and then the north Spanish Rias. After La Coruna we will head
towards Vigo and then cross directly to Madeira. All well on-board. The
boat and all onboard have been very well behaved so far.
We have still only met three ARC yachts but we have made so many new
friends along the way. Their kindness and support makes it all worthwhile and
we have not even started crossing the pond yet.
In Port Joinville we met up with “Nutmeg of Shoreham” and family. It
seems funny that the last time we met them was at the London Boat show when
their boat was on display. A boat that has already done the ARC. They were very
jealous that we were on our way to achieve the same this year. Lovely people and
so nice to hear such positive comments on the whole ARC experience.
Love to all our family and friends.
