Sunny saturday sailing on the bay

Well,it was today,today that i hang out on the harbour of sailing boat like yesterday to try my luck to go around the bay for cuple of hours or a day trip....
And it was today that i got lucky,to me,lucky to meet Joel Garric..about 50 y.o,he was trying to get on top of the sail?(mat in french) with the help of other boats owner,when i just arrive...after that, we started to talk about,experiences,sailing,wind,when i told him i was interested to go out on sea for a bit he told me that i would have making me a tour with pleasure..but his big sailing (thing) just broke is for that he had to go up to cut a rope up there.
So it is about the end of the season for him,but he told me we could go for a ride in the bay not that far but without the big sail...so,here we go then..went on galaxy IV,9 meters long sailing boat..bought second hand in La Rochelle cuple of years ago,and it is is fifth sailing boat...we were not only 2 onboard there was Tim the dog,a setter of 5y.o, that was ennoying but ok...but he wanted to play and puch me with his legs,he probalby was on his stupid day....cause he is never like this joel said.
WEll,let s go out the harbour with the motor on pushing us...and then we put the little front sail and stop the motor,a great feeling,then we talk about wind again,gps,look at map,of the bay and around and his experience as navigation teacher,and his army on a military boat and also his last job befor retirement as ingenior on the navy industry.
Joel as much knowledge and he is also apart of the peoples that are in charge to check the boats for the Figaro(french magazine) race to make sure there is everything in the boat and nobody will cheat the race...
After like 2 hours on the boat sailing around there was almost no more wind ,but the sun was still here,gotta say the weather is just wonderfull since i came here,not a drop of rain,and it is a little fresh morning ,evening,then there is a very good temperature .
When we came back of our small small sailing session we "locked"the boat to a inflatable ball and picked up a smaller one,to get to the land,then Joel gave me a ride in his car also more to the center of Concarneau ,then i thank him again and left him my phone number ,cause i might see him again to give him a hand about his boat but the chances are small,and he might give my number to some of his sailing boat owner hopefully.
What a fullfilled Saturday also,cause i went,kind of visit my future appartement,from the windows,where i will spend about 4 months,and where all the travelers will be welcom,cs,hc peoples but also peoples that i will sponeiously realise that are in need of couch.
Living in Concarneau,by the Sea,is a great luck,and i start day by day to enjoy this little paradise.
I will be mooving in this appartement by thursday,till then i will stay in the abandonned place i found,no need to waste monney,i got the shower for 1euro 50 at the youth hostel where peoples are nice and open enought to provide soap an towel.
