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.

Lights from the ships and the port plus the hum of generators gives an industrial feel to the island from the vantage point of the port.   The industrial nature of the port belies the charming and gracious little town behind the centuries old fort guarding the town in days of old. This tiny island nation...
