Welcome

These are the voyages of the sailing vessel Pétillant. Her original eight-month mission: to sail from Baltimore to France via Florida and the Bahamas, to successfully navigate the shoals of the French douane, to boldly go where few Maine Coon cats have gone before was completed in 2008. Now she is berthed in Port Medoc and sails costal Spain, France, and the UK during the summer months.

Autumn Update

Just a quick note to let you, the gentle reader, know that Petillant finally cleared customs in mid-August, and is sitting happily in Port Medoc. We did not do any sailing this summer, preferring to get re-acquainted with the house, but we are looking forward to spring sailing next year. We have visited the boat since arrival in June, and it looks like it is in amazingly good shape, after completing the traverrsee. We have decided that this is such a nice marina, and a great spot to be based here, that we will take a long-term lease on the slip. More info in upcoming posts.
