Yesterday we headed out for the day along the coast to Saint Gilles Des Croix de Vie, famous for all things Beneteau! The factory is based there and on the route in any available spot has constructed hulls under wraps.
Gorgeous sunny day in complete contrast to the day before, quaint town which we took our time to stroll around.
Wicked lunch with the best moules I have ever tasted and then another stroll to walk it off before sitting and watching the world go by or more importantly watching the boats head out to sea.
On the Vendee front it's claimed it's first casualty....Safran has retired, hit something and lost its keel.....cripes at least it happened here and not around the Southern Ocean, gutting though for the skipper and base crew.
So as for today, we are leaving base camp heading up to Saint Nazaire and then up the coast towards our Breton longhouse for the night before leaving for Roscoff via the coast on Tuesday. Time flies when you,re having fun.
