What's up at home today...?

Yea, sure this title is a hit for the seamen all over ther world.

Here's this hit, in a bit more rock'n roll version, performed live in French by the regretted Michel Tonnerre

Anyway, this one is still flot,unlike at many boats with I sailed like La Garonne for two years in the French Caribbean in 1984 .Rip

C'est toujours une belle mort pour un bateau.

Vaut mieux ça que de rester rouiller sur un quai à servir de chiottes pour les cormorans, comme disait Sardou...

Comme au cimetière de Landevennec ou il y a aussi un de mes anciens bateaux "Le Colbert" snif !

Si tu es passé par Lorient un jour ou l'autre, tu sais peut-être à quoi ils servent, ceux-là...

Au cas où, je précise : Ils servent de brise-lame, pour protéger le minuscule mouillage ultra privé de la Royale...

Well, "Theodore Too" offers tours of the harbor and I was able to get some good shots of other Canadian Navy ships.

We also went for an unguided tour of the Corvette, and I got some very interesting pictures there. I'm not 100% sure that we were supposed to be around the guns, but there was nobody around to stop us...

Its also worth noting that the Acadia, pictured in my last post, is the oldest ship in the Halifax harbor. It was built as a research ship, and is the only ship to have survived both World Wars and the Halifax explosion.

Both the Sackville and the Acadia are open to visitors, so if you are ever in Halifax it is well worth checking them out.
