Anchored, usualy us sailors we talk of anchorage but now it seems that we are about to be realy anchored in the archipelago. Spring came shyly, slowly, but we had a real summer, even hot, more than 20°C, nearly 24°C ! Of course we have taken the oportunity to pace up and down Langlade, his “Belle rivière” and the peat bogs, Miquelon where we circled 5 times the Cape, admiring the balsam firs, the deers, collecting mushrooms and naturaly enjoying lobsters (thanks to André!). We even took a bath at sea !
Again meetings and visits : Gérard, Linda and this time Michèle and Marc, nearly the whole Dattolo’s family ! Laurent finaly arrived whith his “Julie” and oncle Pierre, Ning, little chinese girl alone on “Andreth”, her 23′ sailing boat, shamely pushed back by the authorities, all together, but we keep the contact with her, “Zhai Mo 1”, another chinese sailing boat coming from the NE passage, better welcomed, difficult to understand authorities decisions…then the “Vagabond”‘s family : Eric, Anne, Léonie and Aurore, here to take some warm after so many years spended in the ice. Then came the sailors feast, the neighbour-of pontoon – feast, always with music, the 14th of July…the historic reconstructions of the Zigotos, demonstrations, unusual in Saint Pierre, far from the ones in “la Canebière”! the photography competition Capi won and boats, boats : a trip to Fortune whith the friend Stephane to unload the king crab, the dry docks of “Elinor Marit”, of “Cap Marie”, and naturaly our’s, where our “Skoiern” will exit, once more, even more beautyfull.
Anchored, yes, and we are standing well !
