Mr. Balance falls in
Our friend, Bobby Micklewright, does a spectacular dunking as he steps into the dingy fully dressed with phone and camera in his pockets. Yes, we did laugh a little.
I have been in France for over a month and living on the boat since December 21st. Finally we are to depart from La Rochelle tonight. Michelle, the forth member of the crew, arrived today. His picture below. He is getting a tour of the boat. Then we are off to dinner and then we set sail with the tide. We are targeting Gijon on the north coast of Spain. It will take two days. We are expecting another front otherwise we would try to round the headland toward Portugal. We will most likely hold up in Gijon until the front passes. At least it will be a change of scenery.

The christening happened at 9:20 AM. We were there at the crack of dawn to see them raise the boom, then the mast. Following that, the huge lift motored into place and hauled her to the harbor and splashed her in. We did not waste a bottle of champagne as that would be alcohol abuse. Instead we went to our favorite wine store later that morning and ordered 5 cases of French wine to haul back to the Caribbean.
Leaving Gijon this morning. It is such a lovely town. They pay homage to cider. The video of the bartender pouring cider from as high as he can reach to a glass as low as he can reach helps make the carbonation bubble. You are suppose to drink it quick and toss the remaining foam in a stainless steel gutter at the base of the bar.
