May is almost here, that means that the little community that formed here among sailors, over the winter, is about to break up again for the summer, and reorganize itself in a different way next fall.

We walk the docks and people are finishing up their repairs, trading things they no longer need, and gathering food and supplies for the next few months. Some vessels we might encounter up north again.

@neauoire After nearly six months alongside Wreck, our berth neighbour, a large-ish, American-built Finnish cutter, slipped its berth and headed into the Channel to sail westwards towards Brest and the entrance to the Biscay. We will meet them there in a week or so to sail in company to Northern Spain.

@ccohanlon 'tis the season! We have a few people to meet up north but wether we see them there or not is super weather dependent, and out of our hands.

@neauoire I'm excited to see Pino berthed at 60ÂșN. Is there a chance you might try to winter up there?

Once I get Wrack to North Africa, I'm never leaving the heat again.

@ccohanlon it's very unlikely, I doubt we can afford it, and I don't like the cold that much. We can only stay in the US for 6 months, and wintering the boat would mean that we would have to leave the boat behind.

We never leave pino alone.

@tty some people can afford to sail as a hobby, but they have a lot more means than us.
