Yes...it was a yacht

It's about 7:15 PM and we just walked in the door from a day on the water. I woke up about 8 AM and went for my first run in months. My joints survived, which is a bonus, and means I can keep running 'til I get the bike situation figured out. At 10 AM we hit the road in the road-rocket MB and head for Saint Brieuc. After going about 100 mph for an 1.5 hrs(it felt like 30), we arrived at the HUGE harbor. You have to have a special key to get in to the parking lot and bathrooms. The French are pretty tech-savvy.
After the bathroom we walked out on the dock and kept walking...and walking and walking...and finally I see this chunk of a massive boat at the end of the dock. "No frickin' way," I said to myself. We got to the end of the dock and the boat beeped, and I almost fell over. We took all the canvas off, and all of a sudden the TWIN 650 HP Volvo Diesels, roared to life. Soon after a larger crew of 25+ somethings came trekking down the dock, and turned out to be M. Levrel's son and his friends. They were cool.
Regardless, off we went out of the port onto the OCEAN. Like wave, splash, whoosh, use radar/GPS ocean. We cruised at about 20 mph to this little cove where we spent the afternoon drinking wine, eating, swimming, playing Ocean Rugby (water polo+rugby), sleeping, and freezing. The ride back was fun, and I got to drive. Daniel refused to reassume the helm til I had docked the boat to his satisfaction! Believe it or not, that boat was a whole lot easier to dock than any boat in the Block-Harris family fleet. I had to do it three times 'til it was perfect. It was A LOT of fun.
We put the boat away, and headed back to Rennes. The road-rocket was low on petrol so we had to stop. GAS IS EXPENSIVE. EXPENSIVE EXPENSIVE EXPENSIVE! E1.54/Liter. Thats a little more than $8/gal. Suck on that...gas is cheap in the states????? Anyhow, back in Rennes relaxed and ready to meet back up with some Union-ites tomorrow. Au Revoir!
