Logbook of the crew 2019
From Monaco to Genoa, we don't have a long distance to cover, but the wind hasn't always been on our side. We left the quay at Port Hercule shortly after noon to drop anchor at Rochebrune, just next door. This first stop where we were going to spend the night left us enough time to try out the dinghy and the oars that took us to a pretty coastal path. After a slightly restless night, the weather being mild in the morning, we tried to take a dip more or less courageously. Frédéric ejected from the cold water after diving headfirst into it; Quiterie briefly let go of the ladder before climbing back on board. Julie decided to spend more time in the water, being more comfortable... which didn't prevent her from coming out blue and freezing. To the point of no longer being able to hold the pen to do the crosswords.
Two more days were needed to reach the Genoese coast. The reception port is the Marina Genova, next to the airport. We were very well received there, the Marina being more accustomed to welcoming luxury yachts. In the port, we noticed two SeaBins , allowing the collection of floating waste. Their action is almost hypnotizing when you focus on the current they generate. We then moored the boat well to spend ten days at the quay of the Marina, while waiting for the launch of SeaYou, the Yachting event in which we are going to participate.
Let's go for genes

This stay in Genoa was an opportunity to spend a lot of time in front of the screens working hard to allow the rest of the expedition to be properly planned and to update our social networks among others. During the association's general meeting, the decision was taken to sell our boat, the Labo...
This break also allowed us to get our Océanis 40 back in shape after these few days of sailing. Great clean up but also repair of the spinnaker halyard which dropped during the last hour of navigation and reinforcement of the "GV".
