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.

Leaving the Vines for the Sea




Tomorrow we head for Petillant. We are planning on a short shake down cruise to Ile de Re. We have work to do on her before we leave such as install a new chart plotter and a quiet fresh water head. Canvas is being mended so we will have to install that. Work should be done by Sunday so that we can take off. We have to make one more trip home in order to pick up the cats before we begin our cruise up the Atlantic coast of France and on to England, Scotland, and Ireland, about 4 months in all. Stay tuned for updates on our adventures.
