Re: Morbihan Semaine 2023
We will be there with our lugger Lucia in Flotille nr. 2, the sail and oar club. I saw Roger Barnes will be there too, and several French sailers that I met in The Netherlands this summer during The Extreme Raid, organized by Koos Winnips and Hubert Bakker. Are there more forumites coming to the Morbihan? The picnic in the middle of the week is a great way to find long lost friends we found.

Re: Morbihan Semaine 2023
How I would love to do this one again - with 4 weeks away teaching at WBS in '23, not sure I can do it next year, but maybe I will shoot for 2025.Comment

Re: Morbihan Semaine 2023
A few from down here (Rochefort/La Rochelle) will be there. Mix of S&O and small cruisers. I will be showing off Frank's sails
in my Micro derivative. Bit tempted to sail up there, rather than trail.
First attended in '07 and on the pic-nic day it was too windy to sail, so ferried and walked down the island, getting absolutely sodden in the rain. Good food and company, found myself chatting to the guy that found Roger's Ilur for him.Last edited by Andrew2; 11-29-2022, 10:35 AM.Comment

By coincidence,yesterday was a rainy and dismal day which I spent part of watching youtube videos.I stumbled upon the excellent French series "Littoral" and one episode was devoted tot he 2019 edition.I plan to watch more episodes in future weeks and months.

Re: Morbihan Semaine 2023
I can ask the dutch who go to the Morbihan if they can take people aboard. I will tell them that you are great guys and go to the same church as we do. FrankComment

Re: Morbihan Semaine 2023
Fantastic to have somebody from the forum at such a great event.I do hope the camera wasn't left at home.Vannes is a very nice town and if time permits an evening wandering along the Quai Eric Tabarly and then exploring the walled old town inside the ramparts,it can be a very pleasant evening.There are opportunities for some great seafood or a crepe with the very pleasant local cider.Comment
