Our first sailing trip!

26.06.2023

It's finally the day we'll take the boat out of the harbor to test if everything works.

Finally out for a test sail with the boat. We have to wait until the tide is right before we can go out through the lock, but we are ready at 10:00. On the way out we also take a turn through the towers and visit the inner harbor of La Rochelle.

There's not much wind, but we get to hoist and test all the sails. And last but not least, finally get behind the helm.

Getting a new place in Les Minimes so we don't have to worry about tides when we move on. This is a huge harbor with over 5,000 boats!

We refuel, fix the anchor, and buy food. Olivia washes down the boat, and we are ready to start the trip north tomorrow.

Closing dinner at the "Natt tøy" restaurant. Characterized by good food, waiters in nightgowns, and various nightgowns hanging from the ceiling!
