Dear friends of Mirror dinghy,
I am going to participate with my Mirror Dinghy “Mussel” in "Semaine du Golfe2017" in Brittany. http://www.semainedugolfe.com/
As I am alone and the boat allows two people, I hope to find a crew member in “People who love Mirror sailing dinghys”.
Here are some elements to know the event:
Departure (near Paris) on Sunday 21 May 2017,
Return to Paris on Sunday 28 May 2017,
Camping accommodation in Baden : Camping Campéole Penn Mar,
Many musical or festive animations,
More than 1000 old boats of traditional sailing on the water.
What you should know:
There will be a lot of navigation and long days,
It will surely get up early and go to bed late,
It's not always good weather in Brittany,
What we are promised:
A beautiful animation,
Beautiful encounters with other sailors,
Beautiful sailing,
Meetings with other Mirrors (5 are registered),
I wish to have a companion (male or female) for the week, participates well, pleasant, with a sense of humor, loving the navigation, accustomed to the practice of the Mirror.
To get to know:
I was not sailor before buying my Mirror in 2016,
I have since participated in some meetings of old sailboats,
My boat is 50 years old this year,
I am a little over 60 years old,
I live near Paris and Charles de Gaulle airport,
I have fun on the water,
I get to know Mirror users on facebook and enjoy seeing the achievements and activities of others,
I love good life on the water and at table.
I have a big fault, I speak very bad English !
The expenses to be envisaged for the week are for the organization:
Prices camping 8 x 13,20 €
Breakfast 8 x 5 €
The expenses to be envisaged for the week are for the life on the spot:
Meals, picnics, drinks, cakes, sweets ... for 8 days on the spot
Can also be provided a fuel participation for the trip with the boat behind the car (2x 500 km).
I hope that all this will make us spend a good week.
As I do not work anymore, I propose to you, if you wish and want, to organize in addition before or after « la semaine du golfe » a few days of visit in Paris or around Paris with the accommodation at my house.
If my proposal makes you want to participate, do not hesitate to contact me (by private message) to continue getting to know and organize the week.
Thanks to google translation for his help!

Gernot.
