Bonjour!

Ah France.

After a long night/day's worth of traveling, we found our destination safe and sound, but only after a couple of unexpected detours along the way (for the "cultural experience"). Tonight will be spent at the Hotel Parc Euromedecine in Montpelier. Tomorrow morning we will head to Port Camargue, about 40 minutes away, to pick up the Grand Surprise that we are delivering from Camargue back to Marseille for the SYWoC organizing committee. The 60nm trip should take between 10 and 12 hours, hopefully a little quicker with a forecasted breeze out of the SSW at 20-25kts with gusts higher. We are all eager to get into the Grand Surprise for the first time and see what the beast is really like.

That's all for now. Stay tuned for more updates, pictures, and videos from our first few days here in France.
