Day trip out to the offshore island of Ile de Noirmoutier, famous for its low tide seabed road, till 1971 its only access by car. Unfortunately, we weren't organised enough to use the seabed road but drove to what appeared to be a slipway with marker poles every few hundred metres leading out into a very turbulent sea - impressive. Driving four and a half kilometres on seabed would have been impressive.
Had a walk around in the lovely town up in the top bit and I was able to purchase a new halyard pulley and pin to replace the narrow one on the dinghy that is too narrow and lets the halyard derail and jam. Roman got asked to leave for playing with the rope measuring machine. Apparently French children would never do such a thing.
