Elba 45 La Rochelle to Saint Thomas

Fountaine Pajot Elba 45 Cecilia 2

Andrea & boat owners Greg and Sandy

Meeting the owners of Elba 45 Cecilia 2 is incredibly nice as we complete the takeover and make sure all is in place. The weather is not the best in La Rochelle, but it’s okay our spirit is high and we can only see blue sky. I will be helping them go around the boat and arrange all that is coming next. This is necessary as the first step before the final hand over of the vessel.

La Rochelle is also a good place to visit full of history, bars and restaurants. This is the real Mecca for any sailor with all the sailing and chandlery shops anyone can wish for.  In addition, La Rochelle is also a University Town so that gives a great mix of interesting people around making it a lively place.

Captain and crew

Elba 45 full team ready for departure with Captain Andreas Piotr and Erik.

On their arrival all that has been commissioned will be checked again and a sea trial will take place to make sure all is good before heading out at sea.

Cecilia 2 in Baiona

The stop in Baiona was to rest yes but also to get the oil change service done within 50 hours as suggested by the engine maker. We always make sure that the captain takes care of it using professional accounted dealers.
