Welcome

These are the voyages of the sailing vessel Pétillant. Her original eight-month mission: to sail from Baltimore to France via Florida and the Bahamas, to successfully navigate the shoals of the French douane, to boldly go where few Maine Coon cats have gone before was completed in 2008. Now she is berthed in Port Medoc and sails costal Spain, France, and the UK during the summer months.

Success!!!

Success!! The parts both arrived today, and have been successfully installed. The Racor filter was easy to replace, and tested fine. The quadrant was a bit harder, but we installed it and the steering and autopilot are back in operation. We will do a quick-cruise tommorrow to fill up on fuel, and last grocery shopping, to give it a real test, and then we will be off, probably tommorrow afternoon.

The SPOT position reports will resume as soon as we start out the harbor.

See you all in Horta!!!

Dear Nat,

Thank you for your blog. I look forward to using SPOT to track your progress. The blog is so handsome and the pictures are great. Being a cat lover I most enjoy those of Calypso and Dante. They are beautiful! I wish you all the best. I'll send more personal thoughts in my email.

Much Love!

Dona and Dave Omanoff
