Wonderful to have our daughter Abbi come to sail with us for a few days

-
Our youngest daughter , Abbi, has a demanding job in London so we are always delighted when she manages a few days sailing with us. We picked her up from Nantes airport (courtesy of easyjet ) and were soon able to take the lock out of the Vilaine. I do have to say that that the lock was crammed full yet again and what started out as a straightforward exercise  ended up being fraught when more and more boats were squeezing in (without much input from the lock keeper sadly) Still no harm done and we were soon on our way back to Houat for a beautiful couple of days enjoying fabulous weather and even swimming from the beach.
