We went up to Binic on Thursday afternoon for the first day of the 'Fete de la Morue'. The port de plaisance was crammed full of boats and the weather was glorious.
We were taking part in the repas chanté put on for all crews of the visiting boats. A pleasant afternoon and a good meal for the price of a couple of songs - fair exchange!
We are going to become members of the association 'Le Grand Léjon' - click the title of this post for the site link. This is an association that owns and runs a Lougre (lugger) built at Loguivy de la Mer, from the plans of an old boat, and launched in 1992. as members of the association we get to have use of the boat when it attends various events, such as the Binic fete, and lots of others throughout the summer. They also do voyages around the Brittany coast, to the Scilly isles and to Cornwall occasionally. For a very reasonable fee, we can go on these trips... We know loads of the people who are in the association already - the group 'Fortune de Mer' and Hervé & Hélène who are singing at our concert in June are members - have a listen to Hervé & Hélène on the Grand Léjon site.

Sounds like an amazing idea. I had a look at the website, but it's all in French, so hey hum...looks great though!
