APB: fishing trip and walk on the island of Aix

   6 boats took part in this outing: the Stéphadian with Alain Robert and Danielle Guilloteau, Fleur d'eau with Jean-Marie Noton, Saamée with Gérald, Chasse Marée with Philippe Carteron, Ophéa with Brigitte and Thomas and Fraguito with Françoise and Alain Boismoreau.

   At 8 o'clock everyone was at the meeting point in front of the association's office and at 8.30 we left the port. A light E-NE wind was blowing and after 2 tacks we arrived 2 hours later at the anchorage on the beach of Tridoux. Alain Robert took his dinghy and his dinghy to the port so that everyone could go ashore. There, we divided up the tasks: oyster fishing for the sailors and a walk for their crew members...

   The picnic was a festive moment, we successively tasted Perigord walnut wine, Danielle's local pineau, Jean-Marc's white wine etc... without forgetting to taste the oysters and to share what everyone had brought. The convoying of the arrival started again for the departure with some small problems but which were not due to the alcohol reasonably absorbed!!

   Everyone went back on board and 5 boats reached the port of Boyard while Fraguito took the direction of Les Minimes.

        Une première sortie bien appréciée et très sympathique qui a permis la découverte pour certains d’un mouillage tout proche et inconnu !
