Le Bono âeuros Plymouth, a voyage between summer and winter
After a departure with the engine of Bono in Morbihan, the crew of Hounraken, composed of Henri, the skipper, Simon, Vincent and myself, could benefit from the sun, for lack of wind... Summer conditions, not very favorable to performances. The channel of the Four reserves a fast change of weather, Portsall distinguishing itself with difficulty in the ambient gray. The conditions were then more like October in Scotland, according to the expression on board, which accompanied Hounraken to Plymouth, where the breakwater only came out of the drizzle half a mile from the goal. Fortunately, after 60 hours of sailing, the crew arrived in time to enjoy a well-deserved beer before the pubs closed. A wet and lively Saturday night, very British...
Preparations
Throughout Saturday evening and Sunday, the boats reach the port. We climb the mast, we tinker with the alternators, we sew the sails... Last preparations. On Hounraken, it is also the crew that must be repaired, with an operation of ingrown hair under the foot in the cockpit!
Euro and Fish & Chips
On Sunday evening, at the Navy Inn, the French are gathered in number to attend the final of the Euro soccer. Even the British present support the blue ones. That will not be enough... Beer and Fish & Chips easily comforted the crew members who ended the evening on board the boats around a drink.
