Day 5 - On our way to unstepping the mast!

Departure at 11 a.m., motoring for now. The landscape changes slowly as we head south. We encounter very few boats and, above all, not a single sailboat. You can feel we are moving away from places we know.

Our destination for the day: Chipman Point Marina, where Éolo will have her mast removed tomorrow.

We arrive around 1:30 p.m. The owners welcome us warmly and we immediately fall for the little marina. The buildings have a lot of character and seem to have stood the test of time without losing their charm. It's cloudy, but very hot.

After our arrival, we go out for a walk with Miela. We're really in the countryside. And despite that… the Internet works! It's important to mention when our office follows us everywhere.

As we start taking down the sails, an employee comes to take measurements to build our mast supports. Tomorrow, Éolo will have her mast removed for the first time since we bought her.

We end the day with a meal aboard Éolo. After this whole day of preparation, we go to bed completely exhausted.
