This week was very busy: we sailed up the Seine to Rouen where we joined a big tall ship event. It was very busy and crowdy. This event takes place in Rouen every couple of years it is called The Armada of Rouen.

I was so lucky to meet up with my parents that drove all the way to see me and pick up a few bags of mine from another vessel.

Big fireworks at night, for the show
French Navy Schooners Etoile and Belle Poule, sisterships from 1932, my very first tall ships

I hadn’t seen most of the other vessels since a while. Probably a year so it was very nice catching up with them.

The Seine is such a beautiful river to sail on! And the sail out parade was absolutly fantastic! France is such a beautiful country!
