Rouen
Tuesday 22 September
Left Paris on Sunday and cant say we were sorry to leave behind the sirens, the fragrance of eau de oui oui and the merde du chien. Had a good trip down to Meulan and were very happy that our own pontoon was there waiting for us again. And then yesterday we decided we couldnt face another night in the gravel pit so we went for it all the way to Rouen and arrived almost 12 hours after leaving Meulan and back to the best place we have visited. Satisfied my need to shop this morning and Bruce is satisfying his need to clean the boat right now - and it is a beautiful day.
We leave with the tide in the morning at 7 a.m. for Le Havre and then at about the same time on Thursday for Lymington. Bruce tells me we came across in winds of probably 20 miles an hour and the forecast is for about 7-8 at the moment - so fingers crossed.
Greetings Captain and First Mate!
ReplyDeleteHave a safe crossing tomorrow and looking forward to seeing you both on Friday!

ReplyDeleteI can't believe the blog is over! So sad. Cannot wait to catch up for a viewing of pics and an update on the return journey. Thanks for all the blogs, it was great to know what you were up to after we left. At least our wedding planner has returned to the UK now! We can get on and make some arrangements! :) xxx
