Painting the view from my mother-in-law's garden
I returned to France after a four year break. I love spending time in Brittany. I get on really well with my mother-in-law, and the scenery there is just fantastic. This painting is of the view from the garden. It’s the first of many watercolours that I painted during my stay.It’s so easy to be inspired when visiting far off places. It’s a little harder to get excited closer to home. What do you…

Bretagne | Paimpol Mystieke Ruïnes en Bossen
Woensdag, 17 augustus 2011 | Stel je een dag tijdens onze vakantie in de Bretagne voor die begint onder een grijs wolkendek, waar de lucht zwanger is van mysterie en verwachting. Zo ontvouwde zich onze reis naar Paimpol, een plaats waar geschiedenis en legende samensmelten in een betoverend landschap. Het Bos van Paimpol: Waar Legendes tot Leven Komen Onze eerste bestemming was het beroemde bos…

It was, indeed, the Phœnix!
Some info about her:
A brig, appearing from behind Bréhat island (Brittany), I'm pretty sure she's the Phœnix, I'll confirm that soon, as she seemed to sail to Paimpol, where the old ships festival will take place this weekend.

I've just decided to save this post for myself, because I just simply love the premise of an 18th century sailing boat saving a tiny boat.

Imagine losing your rudder out at sea and sending out a distress call. And then the largest ocean-going wooden sailing ship in the world comes to your rescue. [...] To our knowledge it is the first time that an east indiaman, and the first time for Götheborg, to engage in such a rescue.
Tuesday last week, the 25th of April [2023], Götheborg of Sweden was heading for the upcoming portstop in Jersey. Just after 4pm, a distress call was sent by the MRCC regarding a sailing vessel that had lost its rudder and was drifting. Being the closest ship to the sailing boat, Götheborg answered the call. The sailing boat was towed after the Götheborg during the night from the 25th to the 26th of April. In the morning the 26th of April, a French search and rescue boat from the port of Paimpol came and met up off the French coast.
Text from the sailors on the sailing vessel Corto:
On April 25th at 01:00, we left Cherbourg and set sail for Camaret (the tip of Brittany). We are two experienced sailors on board (Simon and me) with the objective of bringing the boat to Southern Brittany.
At 15:30, we were at sea, more than 50 nautical miles from the coast, when our rudder broke. After sending a PAN-PAN call on the VHF radio, the three-masted sailboat Götheborg quickly responded to our call, offering to tow us to Paimpol (France).
We repeatedly emphasized that we were aboard a small 8-meter sailboat, but the response was the same each time: "We are a 50-meter three-masted sailboat, and we offer our assistance in towing you to Paimpol." We were perplexed by the size difference between our two boats, as we feared being towed by a boat that was too large and at too fast a speed that could damage our boat.
The arrival of the Götheborg on the scene was rapid and surprising, as we did not expect to see a merchant ship from the East India Company of the XVIII century. This moment was very strange, and we wondered if we were dreaming. Where were we? What time period was it? The Götheborg approached very close to us to throw the line and pass a large rope. The mooring went well, and our destinies were linked for very long hours, during which we shared the same radio frequency to communicate with each other.
The crew of the Götheborg showed great professionalism and kindness towards us. They adapted their speed to the size of our boat and the weather conditions. We felt accompanied by very professional sailors. Every hour, the officer on duty of the Götheborg called us to ensure everything was going well.
The next day, as we approached the French coast, we radioed for another boat to help us enter the port, but no one responded positively. Around noon, the Götheborg approached us as closely as possible and stayed by our side until the arrival of a French rescue boat to ensure that everything would go well for us before letting us go.
This adventure, very real, was an incredible experience for us. We were extremely lucky to cross paths with the Götheborg by chance and especially to meet such a caring crew.
Dear commander and crew of the Götheborg, your kindness, and generosity have shown that your ship is much more than just a boat. It embodies the noblest values of the sea, and we are honored to have had the chance to cross your path and benefit from your help.
We thank you again for everything you have done for us.
Sincerely,
David Moeneclaey (skipper of the sailboat Corto)

For those of you following tall ship news who saw the update about the sailing boat that was rescued by the Götheborg last week off the French coast: We have now got into contact with the sailors, and they have shared both their story and photos with us. Or in their own words “This moment was very strange, and we wondered if we were dreaming. Where were we? What time period was it?”
You can read their story in this post or here https://www.gotheborg.se/news/rescue-of-sailing-boat/. It's a long, but nice, read.
