Sailing the Oceanis 40 CC to craning

Image
Leaving again!  Yesterday we left again!  This time we left Aveyron.  We packed everything we needed to live in the boat as well as all the necessary equipement to renovate the boat.  Our crew We took the parents with us. Free manpower :) but mainly a lot of knowledge as Nico's dad sailed for years and is a great mechanic.  So it was altogether a car and a camping van.  Craning our sailboat We headed back to Narbonne Plage to sail the boat to Gruissan the next morning for the craning of the boat. It took us 1h45 mn to get to Gruissan.  It was freezing cold. The owner of the boat took us there, but left the helm to Nico once we arrived the port.  The Camping van was already there. It takes 15 mn to get there by car.  Once you arrive, you put some protection sheets onto the straps and there you go, you get off the boat, it's immediately lifted up and brought to your parking spot.  Then they set the sailboat onto supports.  That's it....
