Escale à Sète - Le Départ

Escale à Sète, the departure :-(

This afternoon, the tallships left Sète (well, most of them did). Because of the weather, they moved the departure time earlier - so were were hanging out in the canals by 2:00. We were being prudent, in part because there were a *lot* of boats out on the water to say goodbye, and partly because the sea was *moche* (very ugly)!

Check out this animation, from 4 pictures I took of a ketch going out past the breakwater

We were out there earlier, and I can tell you, it was exciting! And I'm glad we came back inside after only a short tour!

We saw off the Kruzenshtern

And so did a lot of others







L'Hermione stayed in port

As did El Galeón

The Shtandart sailed off

As did La Grâce

And now to wait 2 more years for the next one...
