What's up at home today...?

I found this in the local press here, talking about something we know a bit...

According to this post, the Brest submarine base will be closed in 2020, because of its condition of advanced decay.

Present days, the former U-Boot base hosts some remaining activities, as the maintenance of the school ships.

Yeah, it's a long time it has become commonplace here, but we will still carry out demining this week, divers will take advantage of strong tidal coefficients to do their job. And this time, it's no small thing, it's nothing less than a 520 mm caliber shell that was discovered. The beast is two meters long and, at first sight, it could be a French shell intended for this kind of small gadget here . It must be said that, in this area, there is doubtless plenty to do, between the traces of the activity of Gâvres shooting polygon and the remains of the WW2...

According to the specialists, it's something which occurs approximately every 18 years.

On Saturday, the tidal range will reach 117, it will be a kind of warm-up while waiting for the phenomenal 119 planned for March 21.

For people who don't know too much the topic, we speak here about "grande marée" (literally "great tide") when the coefficient reaches 90 or 95. At 100, that begins to be very remarkable, at 110 we approach the exceptional, past 110 it's really the thing to be closely seen. We have already known 119, but we never recorded higher, not here in any case.

One might as well say that it's going to have great show on the coast here. I cannot be everywhere, but i'll try to take some pictures of the phenomenon.

So lads, here's the point of the real situation here for me, shot by myself with my left hand...

Not sure if i would be even able to manage the tea on the battlefield and, about rolling a cigarette in its middle, just forget about it...
