Part 2 - The Villaine




We returned to France on 24th June after a hectic week at home - its been difficult since then to find suitable internet connections.....in truth the sun has shone, the temperature has been 25+degs and there have been other things to do!

Once we got back to Cabernet we decided we needed a couple of days rest and relaxation to wind down and get back into holiday mode so we left our berth on the friday 25th at Foleux and headed up the river for a couple of hours, finding a superb anchorage miles from anywhere and anyone, where we swam,read our books and generally enjoyed the fantastic weather.

On saturday skipper decided he needed a bit of exercise and we needed some bread so he set off in the dinghy - minus the outboard - in search of a boulangerie. After some 2 hours I was beginning to wonder if I needed to up anchor in search of him when the dinghy re-appeared around the bend in the river with one very hot and tired skipper but no bread. Fortunately provisions on board were raided for the partbaked stuff which has proved so handy!
