Entrance to the old port of La Rochelle, France.

We had to wait for this bridge to open before we could enter the Bassin des Chalutiers.  You can only enter the basin during high tide.

Now we can enter.

Safely inside the Bassin.  Sea Rose now is tied up to the floating pontoon along the sea wall. Surrounded by bars and restaurants.  We’ll spend the next few days purchasing more supplies and enjoy touring the old town.

Sailing isn’t all fun and sun.  Someone has to do the laundry. Believe it or not, that is Teresa in a public laundry mat.
