Still in Rochefort but aiming to leave soon.  We now have a decent size awning made from a white tarp and have refitted the tillerpilot to give us electronic self steering to complement the wind vane steering.  The linkage for the tillerpilot is a recycled 49er tiller extension (thanks Matt) so is light but it is quite long so there is some play and we will need to do some trials to see how well it works. Below is a photo of Mango with the new awning up.

We have been in Rochefort longer than expected, but have had a side trip to Cognac to visit friends of friends who live there which was great.  We have also both passed the CEVNI tests, though have not found somewhere to print of the certificates yet!
