21st August, 2019 Pornic

Rafted up 5^th of 6 abreast in the Ile d’Yeu and dinged neighbouring 5^th on the way out past him, see miniscule

scratch he wants to involve insurance for! Hope he has no excess, but beware the French who will claim to respray the entire boat for such a scratch.

We had no scratch at all.

Pleasant hop over to Pornic which is nice and the staff very helpful.
