The boat with no name.

For ten months now I'm around in the yachtharbour, almost my second home it seems and so there are boats that caught my eye. For example this 9 mtr Wharram Tanenui, for the reason that I like this kind of boats and also that I did not spot anybody to look after her. Another thing I noticed was that the boat had no name. By sheer coincidence I found out that the boat was put on for sale on the Warramsite this year januari and sold by now. And so a charming elderly French couple showed up in the port last week with a Renault Kangoo packed with gear and started preparations to the boat to sail oversea towards Bordeaux, the Bay of Arcachon. Since I had been sailing myself this weekend I was not able to see the actual leaving of the catamaran last saturday. The planning is that it'll take them harbourhopping ca. eight days to get home. So being mondaymorning I wonder about the whereabouts. The wind was in my favor for my weekendtrip, South, Southeast and took us in no time west on saturday to spend the evening on a small riverside surrounded by nature. Next day back east, again halfwind home like a rush. For the French it meant no doubt a good start westwards to the coast and out in the open to the North Sea. But Sunday was in their case less favorable. Lucky the winddirection this week is changing from North towards West and with a strength of 3 to 4 bft. Lovely temperature as well and that together with a really good buy. So far, well done, you admirable French.
