It’s quite windy today even in the harbor with strong gusts; gale warnings still going on for the eastern English Channel. We will enjoy the day in Boulogne and have a good rest.
Monday, May the 4th – 23:00 – Boulogne Sur Meer
There have been many gale warnings for the area over the past 24 hours but the “Severe Gale Warning of Force 9” for the Dover Strait issued by the Dover Coastguard finally changed our plans and we decided to search shelter in Boulogne Sur Meer. We arrived at 22:00 in a downpour and made fast in the marina. We will probably stay in for the coming 24 hours.

For some reason I have not realized yet that I am on my voyage to Greece. It still feels like a week’s trip with friends in northern Europe….

French Customs seem to like the boat. This is the second time I sailed to France and the second time I was checked.
