Sea trip on the Granvillaise

On a beautiful September day , the sea is oil in the port of Granville. We board the Granvillaise output for half day , 4 hours of navigation. Granvillaise is a lugger , old fishing boat that sailed in the Bay until the early 20th century and was hitting the funds to fish huitres.A the time, there were 400 bisquines in the Bay , 200 Granville 200 on Cancale.La Granvillaise and Cancalaise are the only two identical replicas currently sailing in the bay.
The crew, very sympathetic, invites volunteers to participate in the manoeurvre . Must hoist the sails one by one, and carefully follow the instructions of the captain. Volunteers do not miss and soon Granvillaise , file with the wind , more engine noise, only the waves hitting the hull, seagulls screaming and looking for fish , what a joy to navigate through the sunshine ! . Out of the harbor , the sea forms the wind picks up , we head towards the Chausey . We will not go in the archipelago , it requires a day out in front of us suddenly appeared Mont St Michel in a haze of fine weather. We then change direction , draw an edge to the Roc de Granville, walk along the old town, go to the casino and the rehabilitation center , St Paul's Church in the background. Superb ! A different vision of Granville, under the sun, it's beautiful.
Tack , the Marité old rig 3 masts leaves port , we follow bordons and sails up to catch him ! grand Granvillaise The house and the bridge is very inclined to the point that we must not block slide the other side and take a foot bath as the water penetrates through the doors . It's a bit sporty and nice. Finally we approach the Marité . What a sight ! old rig has a maximum sail majestically and file .

We take this privileged moment for some time and then we put the cap on the port of Granville, the output ends under the sun, with the head full of images, too bad, it just lacked the dolphins that regularly getting in on the ride and follow the boat.

Just landed, we're already planning the next exit which will take us to the islands can be, anyway, each output is unique and it is a real treat every time.
