After a night in Ars-en-Re, which we found to be expensive and disappointing, we are currently hiding in Minimes marina near La Rochelle whilst a nasty low pressure system goes through. Our anchor light failed the other night after a few days of not much wind or sun and we discovered the hard way that we had made a mistake in not replacing the bulb in the masthead all round white with LED bulb as it flattened the battery. Fortunately Minimes has more chandlers than I have ever seen before in a marina (mind you it has berths for 3000 boats) so we were able to get a charger (we had left ours behind as it was big, heavy and we had solar panels and a wind generator).
We are also back on WiFi after an age using a GSM phone as a modem so are hoping to find time to upload some pictures and, if I can get it working, the video of dolphins.
The only serious problem at the moment is that I have aggravated an old injury behind a shoulder blade and it gives me grief if I cycle or move heavy weights around.
