Le Grand Retour


What a fantastic way to spend the last weekend of the official sailing season in Europe, by sailing into the centre of Brussels with a couple hundred other boats. Sound like fun, hey?? Well from stories and rumour it is paled as a huge party and drinking event, some even have labelled it the ‘Cows Week’ of Belgium.

Well I will be there on board L’licorne, an Endurance 35 travelling from Zeeland in Holland where she has spend a glorious summer exploring the inland waterways and rivers. The event kicks off in the port of Breskens on the Belgium border with Holland and culuminates in a mad rush up the river and into the centre of Brussels finishing at the Royal Brussels Yacht Club. Mental note: Probably should take the Monday off work if you have a job!!

Our yacht, Flora Ella is still in Sardinia where we left her last summer however I am very excited to report that we are making plans to drop the lines once again next summer and continue our Life on Flora Ella, part 2. With Oscar on board we will be mainly coast hugging and exploring Sardinia, Corsica and the west coast of Italy. Then at the end of the summer putting her up for sale and heading to Aus to continue life over there. Sounds like a plan to me? Now just need a job until next summer, any offers???
