Tonight is party night. Le Mouillage Restaurant is laying on a supper for us all to enjoy.  They seem to know us well here, now.  Le patron of the restaurant greeted me with 'Same as last year, Monsieur?'!  Tomorrow we will have a briefing on the rest of the rally and making individual ways home, followed by a very welcome invitation by the President of the Societé Nautique de La Trinité, Jean-Pierre Blavec, to a cocktail pary on the roof of the yacht club restaurant.

Despite our mooring difficulties and the variable weather, everyone is having a great time.  As I write, a Bréton band has struck up in the square outside and singing and dancing to a squeeze-box is attracting a very appreciative audience.  The ralliers will return home with wonderful stories to tell, new acquaintances to treasure and a real sense of a shared experience and adventure.
