Departing Ile DeYeu



After a peaceful evening in the calm tranquility of Ile de Yeu and the quite hospitable natives it was off for the relatively short hop to Sables d'olonne, wind was 20/25 kts from the south so very little headway was made, another diversion into St Gilles Croix, Port du Vie,, a small Vendee village located on both banks of the river 'La Vie'


On further exploration of the town a small local pub was found,, freindly bunch with a complete loon as the landlord,
we blended in well and as the beer started to flow the landlord Mechelle, became even more odd,, his false teeth on the bar and singing out loud with the beer tap as his mike,,, Malcolm started to let his hair down and after some dancing with a butchers hat followed by a serbian soldiers hat, they finally exchanged their false teeth,, A quiet day followed, with the wind and rain from the south it was a chance to clean up, empty the bocholinus from the fridge and get some clean washing,very good facilities in the marina.
