From Noirmoutier, we sail to Île-de-Ré, a 65 nautical mile/12 hour ride on the way to Rochefort under light northwest winds. We moor in Ars-en-Ré, being the largest boat in the harbour, and the first in line at the end of the pontoon. Very comfortable night indeed once you have manoeuvred in the channel the width of which is smaller than the size of the boat to carry-out the perfect reverse parallel park!
