Arrivée à Brest
Vagabond in her new dress
After 5 days on the coastal path, I used my thumb to reach Brest hitch-hiking. Again, I met generous friendly and interesting people on my way, and the last driver took me all the way to the harbour where Vagabond is moored.
I spent two weeks here in Brest, helping my brother Eric, his partner France and my tow nieces Léonie and Aurore, 4 and 1 years old, to get ready for their wintering in Brise Fjord, Ellesmere Island, North of Greenland.
Most of the time, I was taking care of my two adorable nieces. It was really great to have some time with them. I also helped with the boat's logistics. Preparing 18 months of food is a lot of work, and while it's not the first time the boat leaves for such a long time, it's the first time I am here to help, and I found it very impressive to load half a ton of flour, 1000 soups, 50 kilos of chocolate.
