Welcome

We are a retired American couple living in France, enjoying the good life with our cats. Our house is in a small hamlet among the Ste. Foy vines. We also have a sailboat that the male half of the spousal unit sailed across the Atlantic in the summer of 08. When the weather warms we will start to visit the sailing ports of Europe. Our stories chronicle our life in France: the good life, the hard life, and the sailing life.

AHHH SPRING


Finally, it is that time when the white asparagus is everywhere in the market, the strawberries are red, fragrant, and delicious and we are on the boat. About 10 days ago we looked in on the boat and found more moisture in the interior that we had experienced in years past. We decided to take the cushions home and wash the covers. Wow they sparkle now. So on Saturday after the market we brought them back to the boat. Our lunch was a feast. We cleaned up the boat, brought the provisions for the next cruise, and washed the exterior. We spent the night on board and the next morning RXC was at the airport for a 6:55 am flight to Pittsburgh. Next trip to the boat will be at the end of April with the cats for our 4 month cruise.
