I can truly say that our cruise was retired under the sign of the storm subsided.
On the eve of departure, Sister Marie-Hélène name to send me something urgent that needs to be given to me before my departure at sea She then handed me the copy of an engraving from the e vangéliaire Echternach, Nuremberg, made in the 11th century. The engraving has spent the entire cruise posted at the entrance of the square, where all meals are taken.
The next day, I asked the brother Pierre-Etienne, the ships and crew can be blessed at the time to cast. It has come to Hyeres equipped with its ritual blessings. In the blessing, the ritual place in the center of the ceremony ... reading the storm subsided.
Later, tensions arise in my crew. I had to weigh my weight skipper to bring peace between team members and ensure that this dispute does spread.
Subsequently, the episode of sea storms we have experienced in the bay of Ajaccio is recounted in this message . This storm-there was an opportunity for us to see first hand the work of Mary, patroness of seafarers.

Then, after two days when we used to be forced to stay ashore, taking time to meditate, to worship and to let him join the Lord's mercy, we were able to resume the way back. The winds calmed down, started in the South and we were favorable to return to Hyères.
The closing Mass of our cruise-retirement à ND de Consolation au-dessus de la rade de Hyères, fut le point d'orgue de toute cette vie en mer.
