Big start with a full crew. The engine starts like a quarter turn but we are still tense as soon as it growls a little. Flo warns us, it's going to be windy. Good. For the moment on the Lab it is hard to believe. It's calm and engine under the sun. We pass the course, nothing, sea of oil. We continue calmly but Flo digs her eyebrows more and more.
08/05
~ Storm in the Gulf of Lion ~
05/10
The wind died down, we even managed to make semolina to feed our hungry bellies. Our arrival in Port-Saint-Louis-du-Rhônes went smoothly, but the battle was in full swing as soon as we set foot on the ground. In the afternoon: holding a stand for the Camargue festival, conference the next day, and in the following days conference with middle and high school classes, and fun workshops with a primary class. We are not idle for our return to France!
05/03
The wind picks up, it starts to blow hard: the wind turbine thinks it's a helicopter, the sails shake (or what's left of them since they're the size of a pocket handkerchief!) and the course between the cockpit and the kitchen becomes worse than Fort Boyard. The dishes forget gravity in the cupboards and it's not better for us, it's weightlessness and the repeated fall in the bunks and our stomach goes yoyo.

zero waste note
For once, no zero waste for us: impossible to recycle the filter to decant, and the funnel to decant being cracked everywhere, impossible to reuse. We did have the idea of making a Christmas ball out of it, but it seems compromised. So much for this time!
After a while, it seems to calm down. Unfortunately for us, we would have done better to wait a bit: a huge wave propels everything in the boat. Marie is thrown against a wall and hurts her foot, the table in the saloon breaks, the dishes don't talk about it, and I cling to the mast for fear of crossing the whole boat. I feel like I'm in a washing machine, I don't know how long I'm underwater, but I'd say an eternity. When everything stops, as quickly as the wave arrived, we realize that we have turned. The maneuver is rough, it is very difficult to turn around to return to the cape. We help ourselves a bit with the engine and we finally get there. I go to bed, all shaking with fear and exhaustion, my stomach empty for far too long. Going to bed, I tell myself that even a construction site is better organized than the interior of the Lab.
