Leaving the workshop on Friday 1st June

The workshop is tidied whilst awaiting the transporter	The lorry exits with precaution
Its out with only millimetres to spare	Transport to Kernevel
Across the car park at Kernevel	She slept the night on the lorry

 

 

MINAHOUET WAS LAUNCHED the 2nd June 2007

AT THE " PETIT PORT DE KERNEVEL" - LARMOR PLAGE - MORBIHAN

 

The lorry backs down the slipway	Minahouet is placed with precaution
The tide starts coming in	Almost afloat
Father Armel de la Moneray's benidiction	Father Armel de la Moneray's benidiction
Father Armel de la Moneray's benidiction	The crowd cheer!
Minahouet takes to the sea	pulled by a rowing boat and the yawl of d'Aboville
She arrives at her berth in the port	A last little cruise at twilight
