Our trip across the Sleeve

Quest

Hi everybody,

The first photo is just before we left St Mary's in the Isles of Scilly at sunrise and the last is sunrise this morning over the French Coast. This means we made it. We've arrived at the Isles de Glenans cause we've gone a little island crazy. Will take some pics and write more soon.

Love to you all on the mainland,

Lucia :)
