19th October 2023
Le Havre (translates as “the harbour”) is a major port in the Seine maritime department of the Normandy Region of France. Founded in 1517 by King Francis the First. Requiring major reconstruction after WWII it is now the second largest port in France.
This morning woke at sea just approaching the French coast. Sunrise over the town of Le Havre as we approached. A quick 180 degree turn and then we backed into the harbour to berth for the day.
Weather not too bad, must have been raining but now broken cloud and light winds.
Whilst in port a great many very fancy racing yachts and trimarans came into port.
Today the day to catch up on all the bits and pieces we haven’t got round to yet. Notably gelatos, hot chocolates and cocktails, seems to be a bit of a theme here.
The afternoon weather gone right off, heavy rain, glad we’re not wandering round the town.
Packing this evening, double check not missed anything then an early night, alarm set for the morning.
