Yes it was a great wk-end thx to Bertrands French Hospitality :) 8) :wink:
I just hope Bertrands not hurting too much it was a little more than he was expecting ! :P
But he did predict the great sail home we took 4 hrs to sail out but we came back in only 1hr everyone was heading back in at 2.30pm as it started to get rough but we stayed out until 5.30pm Thx again Bertrand :) 8)
