Around 13:15 yesterday, 21 September, Mr Patrick Jeanne, the Mayor of Fécamp, cast off the rear mooring line, the last rope tying La Boudeuse o the quayside.
After a very pleasant 3-day stopover with a wealth of meetings and discussions, La Boudeuse left its port of registry with three loud blasts of the horn, and the square topsail schooner set sail for Brest, its next port of call.
