Had a farewell bash at Inge and Jan's last evening, where "Snatch" had been berthed ready for leaving this morning. Watched them come down the river some time after 6.30 (wasn't looking at my watch, too busy waving and ringing my bell!!). We wish them safe sailing and fair winds. Maybe they will catch up with "Mystic" at some point! Robin is going to keep a radio watch with them so we will hear of their progress all being well.

Brilliant news that Mystic has arrived at St Helena. We get together this eve to wish Bert, Jan and Graham a safe journey to Brazil.... they leave tomorrow all being well, Mich then joins them in February, by which time, we are only a few short weeks away from our trip over to meet Freedom again. Alan B and Ness are going to join us for a couple of weeks in July which will be brilliant to watch the Classics in the Solent, so the excitement is gathering some speed!

One evening after supper on board, we took a walk in the town and came across these lovely ladies singing their stories in French, they were wonderful. all dressed in various stages of black, but with petticoats in various colours, and assorted footwear !

A view of one of the squares in St Malo where we used to sit in the cafe on the right and watch the world go by!

We had not seen St Malo this quiet, it was a sure sign that the European economy was taking it's toll. Normally the wall would see yachts 3 and 4 deep at least rafted out.
However, it suited us very nicely because we could roam about the walls of St Malo in peace and enjoy the walks and views. Inside the walls the restaurants and cafe's were charming as ever, with huge choices, musicians and performers were on the street corners to entertain, including artists ready to do a cartoon/portrait sketch of you. It always makes for an exciting atmosphere and we love it!
