We also met up with our English friends Jenny and John Firth with their boat "Jubilate of Hayling." With them we took a couple of days out to visit the Dordogne and Oradour.We drove down to Oradour and spent a few hours touring around the town. You can find all the details in the link. It is quite a place and was left as it back in 1944 on the instructions of Charles de Gaulle.
We then went on to a found a hotel in Lalinde and enjoyed a meal and a good night's sleep there.

On our way back we visited Bergerac and Rochefort.
Back in La Rochelle we then sailed over to St.Denis on the Ile de O'leron, with Jenny and Jim and spent a couple of days exploring the area.On one day we hired some bikes and did a little cycling around the local area.
As Jenny and Jim left us to go on with their sailing plans, our Irish friends Megan and Jim arrived.
We spent a few days with them driving around the local area and during this time we decided to go with them on the long haul south across the Bay of Biscay.
The 8 minute video below shows you some of the time we spent with them in La Rochelle and the 40 hour sail to Hendaye.
For this video I employed the talents of a voice-over specialist and added some good graphics.
I hope you like the outcome and if I get a good response from you, I will splash out and employ her again for the next video. I hope you enjoy it.
