BREST, FRANCE

Don't think I can count this as my first country visited on world cruise, because I never touched the ground!

This is route we took and my view of Brest all day!

Apparently, as we were sailing late last night, the Captain got word from the port agent, that the only available berth did not allow for passengers on and off the Ship. Sadly we had no other option, since we needed fuel and water and also need to stay ahead of Hurricane Kirk. It is extremely rare, for Hurricanes to make it up to Northern Europe. Hear now degraded to tropical storm but winds are still gusting. We played pickleball for hours today and the wind was crazy! Made play very fluid!

Above shows berths we wanted near Disney Dream and how close, but yet so far away, we landed. Au revoir Brest!

Today we spent on the water. We had signed up for a beach and snorkel trip yesterday and had to move to today because we had tender issues into the port and missed the start time. Today was also looking bleak but the charter waited for us and even sent their tender over to our delayed shuttle and rescued us off so we could join the group waiting for us! It was a fun day, swimming and snorkeling over 4 different beach locations. The water, drinks and sunshine were all great fun!
