KALESSIN OF ORWELL IS A 33FT WESTERLY STORM. IN 2006-8 WE SAILED HER DOWN TO PORTUGAL, INTO THE MED, AND HOME THROUGH THE FRENCH CANALS. IN 2011 WE EXPLORED BALTIC GERMANY AND DENMARK. AFTER SAM'S STROKE WE CRUISED GENTLY ON THE EAST COAST, THE NETHERLANDS AND BRITTANY, AND IN 2021 SAILED TO CORNWALL AND BACK. IN 2024, FOLLOWING SAM'S DEATH, CAMILLA IS UNDERTAKING A MEMORIAL ROUND-BRITAIN CRUISE

I have a mental block about place names in Brittany beginning with P. I kept forgetting Piriac, and now we have been to Pornic as well, I keep confusing them. We nearly went from Pornic to Pornichet, which could conceivably have caused complete brain fade, but fortunately we gave it a miss.

These pictures are almost certainly Pornic.

Late walk into Pornic

Eglise de Saint-Gilles in the upper town

Ben goes paddling

Small but perfectly formed creperie

The rather challenging ramps down to the pontoon. This is at high water when the ramp is at its most level. We got sam up at high water but buy the time we returned it was two hours before LW and he had to walk
Looking up the ramp at high water. For the first couple of metres there is nothing for Sam to hold on to, and there are also regular ridges which stop trolleys running back but are a nightmare to get a wheelchair over unless you are as strong as Ben
