On Saturday 28th August, we set sail for Ouistreham. It was a lovely day, but we were so busy sailing, we didn't take any photos.
The wind was coming from pretty much behind us, so we gybed our way down the coast. For a couple of hours we were sailing straight towards Omaha Beach. It was a poignant time, thinking of those who had travelled much the same course 66 years ago.
It took us longer than we thought to get to Ouistreham and we made our first night arrival for a very long time. It was a bit scary, but we were reassured by managing to spot all the navigational lights that guided us in.
Waited for the lock and made our way to the marina. A couple of beers in the outdoor Caribbean style bar, complete with palm trees and sand and then off to bed.
