The adventures of Yacht Flirtie

"Hi, we are sailing yacht Flirtie's crew, Bruce and Caroline. Welcome to our blog.

Les Sables d'Olonne to Bourgenay Log

Heading a little further South, we travelled ... wait for it ... a total distance of 8 miles today. To be honest, the actual distance in a straight line is only 5 miles but due to the shallow sea bed you have go out an additional mile or so when leaving Les Sable and arriving at Bourgenay. Amazingly the temperature was 20 degrees as we left at 7.30am so we started the day wearing trunks (that's Bruce) and bikini (me).

Not a cloud in the sky and absolutely no wind. The sea was just ripples over the slightest of swells.

Bruce, having reverted back to feathers and a lead weight actually caught a fish but unfortunately as he was winding the line back in the fish managed to get away (I'm not laughing!).

Arrived on the visitor's pontoon in Bourgenay by mid-morning - what a hard, stressful journey!

Total distance this season: 614.24 nautical miles
