I have never seen so much mauve and blue on a channel wind chart before. This is tomorrow, when we will be about 2 thirds of the way across....

Going to be a good one......

@Giles That looks fantastic…we had massive squalls/storms last night for you. This morning I could skip a stone across the lake to Rochester (55 miles away). Funny how it all works.

@tody at the risk of further thread drift, your story reminded me of this film (called Another Round when released in the UK).

I see France is banning alcohol consumption in public due to the heat wave…

Wonder if they knew you were coming?

[Giles]

They are not trying very hard.....

"Drinking takeaway alcohol in the street has been banned in Paris......."

[tody]

because dropping from a public bench after too much sun and booze makes you a clochard, while doing the same in a bar... does not.

[Giles]

Can't fault French logic......

[Giles]

And we are off….

Bon voyage ️
