jan 21 Boulogne sur Mer!

i left the charming town of Wimereux and headed south along the D940. I'm so close to the sea, the salt air is very invigorating. at about 4.5 km into the run i approached Boulogne sur Mer. From the approach I can see the entrance to the port, i was interested to notice the windfarms all around. And the tides continue to blow me away, sailing here would be challenging, boy, you would really have to pay attention to the navigation, just look at the red marker, there's no water anywhere near it!
the town appears to revolve around the port. i'd like to visit during the Fete de la Mer, and i suspect the food is amazing. i must check out the oysters (les huitres).
of course i was totally sidetracked looking at all the boats in the harbour. lots of sailboats, maybe one day i'll put my Sailorgirl hat on and be docked here?
keep dreaming Sailorgirl, the world is your huitre.
distance today: 6 km
distance to date: 42.5 km
