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.

Oban

4-8 July


The trip down Loch Linnie was uneventful.  The sea lock was easy, and we had a tidal push down the loch.  We even got to sail for about an hour.  Arrival was at about noon, and we just found a nice spot close to the shore and the shuttle.  Changed engine oil and discovered that we don’t have any more oil filters on board – not good.  Will lower the dinghy and check it out this afternoon, and try to find an oil filter tomorrow.
