Sadly the trip has come to an end and Shamu is now the subject of a legal dispute between her two owners, She is secured in Les Sables until a legal agreement can be achieved. It is unlikly she will be back in the UK anytime soon

La Rochelle
A dream come through, I have always dreamed if sailing Shamu here and thru the historic tower gates at the Vieux Port. Today was not a dissappointment at all
So happy to be here, last two days Nigel has been berthing and taking us off the pontoons and perfect every time, Si happy right now, Next stop Spain, but first 4/5 days here to relax and eventually update the last 6 blogs or so lol
