Moving departure from Brest, last Friday. Followed by four Greenlandic kayaks, and the yacht of the Junior Seamen School, Vagabond slowly headed north, heavily loaded for another long polar mission.

Pictures of final preparations.

Short stop at Isles of Scilly Saturday night, before meeting up with Oceanopolis film team in Kilmore, South Ireland, for more shooting of "Octave and Zoe". Very nice day among birds yesterday.
