The Final Lap

After a few days rest at Port Tudy we had to press on to get to Port Crouesty and meet up with the rest of the Fareham-Vannes Twinning Event.

We had a couple of days with George and Jill Pickburn and their boat "Stormbird". George, the "Vannes Driver," I think his official title was Fleet Captain, had other arrangements, so they left before we did.

The deadline was 30th June at Port Crouesty, so we gave ourselves an extra day and left today. The film shows us arriving at Crouesty, meeting up with the other 18 boats and 50 crew. It also shows the flotilla procession up to Vannes on the 1st July, our negotiating the road bridge and the welcome we had from the french pipe band.
