This one is arriving at Bordeaux Wednesday morning 26th June … leaving Friday…
Wish we could get there to see it… 
We saw it from the beach at St George de Didonne this morning, heading up the estuary and out to sea.
Shiver me timbers… 
what a glorious sight…
When it was in La Rochelle just before the Bordeaux Tall Ships meet they were selling berths for the passage to the Gironde. I was tempted. Mind you it’s an ugly beast compared to the Hermione.
Any of you folk near Ipswich…
In the past, we’ve dashed many a mile to see this sort of thing…Tall Ships in Ipswich harbour
I saw the event back in the mid 90’s when it was at Weymouth. I had to park two miles from the beach and walk in. It was worth it.
One of the oldest Tall Ships… perhaps…
