Six hours into our trip, the wind had gusted up to 27 knots. An updated weather forecast showed winds stronger than expected, up to 40 knots, and heavy seas. Instead of trying to reach our original destination, we altered our course and went straight to Little Harbor in Newfoundland. There, we hunkered down in a secluded bay for the night. The weather had calmed down by the next morning, and we were able to resume our trip. After sailing and partly motoring for 117 nautical miles and experiencing dense fog and brilliant sunshine, we arrived in France on June 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1 wp-block-paragraph\">Als wir aufbrachen, hatten wir vor, vom Bras-d\u2019Or-See zu einer kleinen Insel in der Cabot-Meerenge, dem Gew\u00e4sser zwischen Nova Scotia und Neufundland, zu segeln. Sechs Stunden nach Beginn unserer Reise hatte der Wind auf bis zu 27 Knoten zugenommen. Eine aktualisierte Wettervorhersage zeigte st\u00e4rkere Winde als erwartet \u2013 bis zu 40 Knoten \u2013 sowie schweren Seegang. Anstatt zu versuchen, unser urspr\u00fcngliches Ziel zu erreichen, \u00e4nderten wir unseren Kurs und fuhren direkt nach Little Harbor in Neufundland. Dort suchten wir f\u00fcr die Nacht Schutz in einer abgelegenen Bucht. Am n\u00e4chsten Morgen hatte sich das Wetter beruhigt und wir konnten unsere Reise fortsetzen. Nachdem wir 117 Seemeilen unter Segeln und teilweise mit Motor zur\u00fcckgelegt und dabei sowohl dichten Nebel als auch strahlenden Sonnenschein erlebt hatten, kamen wir schlie\u00dflich am 18.Juni in Frankreich an.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260616_135326159.mp2_.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4463\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"4464\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260618_142658044.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4464\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"4462\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260618_1524048032.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4462\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wait, what? France? But it&#8217;s true. The island we visited, Saint Pierre, and another one right next to it, Miquelon, are overseas collectivities of France. They are located just 25 kilometers off the southern coast of Newfoundland, Canada. Home to about 6,000 people, the islands offer a unique blend of French culture, including the euro currency, French cuisine, and the French language, right next door to Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2 wp-block-paragraph\">Moment mal, was? Frankreich? Aber es stimmt tats\u00e4chlich. Die Inseln Saint-Pierre und Miquelon, die wir besucht haben, sind \u00dcberseegebiete Frankreichs. Sie liegen nur 25 Kilometer vor der S\u00fcdk\u00fcste Neufundlands in Kanada. Auf den Inseln, auf denen etwa 6.000 Menschen leben, gibt es eine einzigartige Mischung aus franz\u00f6sischer Kultur, zu der unter anderem der Euro als W\u00e4hrung, die franz\u00f6sische K\u00fcche und die franz\u00f6sische Sprache geh\u00f6ren.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"4466\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260621_1834381262.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4466\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"4470\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260618_194008959.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4470\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"4468\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260618_195440756.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4468\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The port captain and immigration officer met us at the dock. Within a few minutes, we were cleared to enter the small French island. Since it was a gorgeous, sunny afternoon, we decided to go for a hike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3 wp-block-paragraph\">Am Kai wurden wir vom Hafenmeister und dem Einwanderungsbeamten empfangen. Innerhalb weniger Minuten erhielten wir die Erlaubnis, die kleine franz\u00f6sische Insel zu betreten. Da es ein herrlicher, sonniger Nachmittag war, beschlossen wir, eine Wanderung zu unternehmen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260619_091236068-1.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4526\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"4508\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260622_180216469.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4508\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The island has many hiking trails with stunning coastal views, peaceful boreal forests, and unique peat bogs across volcanic and maritime landscapes. The well-marked trails have signs with information about the trail, flora, and fauna, as well as colored markings on the rocks to indicate the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4 wp-block-paragraph\">Die Insel verf\u00fcgt \u00fcber zahlreiche Wanderwege, die atemberaubende Ausblicke auf die K\u00fcste, die ruhigen borealen W\u00e4lder und die einzigartigen Torfmoore inmitten vulkanischer und maritimer Landschaften erlauben. Die gut markierten Wege sind mit Schildern versehen, die Informationen zum Weg sowie zu Flora und Fauna bieten. An den Felsen befinden sich zudem farbige Markierungen, die den Weg weisen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"4514\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260618_193119509.portrait.jpg?w=742\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4514\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"4515\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260621_191049767.portrait.jpg?w=576\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4515\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the way back, we strolled through Saint-Pierre, a small town with a distinctly European flair. The covered entryways of some of the houses were interesting. One of the many informational signs about the history of St. Pierre explains why they are probably a necessity! We rounded out an absolutely beautiful day with a scrumptious dinner consisting of baguette, French cheese, and p\u00e2t\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5 wp-block-paragraph\">Auf dem R\u00fcckweg schlenderten wir durch Saint-Pierre, eine kleine Stadt, die mit ihrem europ\u00e4ischen Flair beeindruckte. Besonders interessant waren die \u00fcberdachten Eing\u00e4nge einiger H\u00e4user. Eine der vielen Informationstafeln zur Geschichte von Saint-Pierre erkl\u00e4rt, warum diese wahrscheinlich unverzichtbar sind! Wir rundeten diesen absolut wundersch\u00f6nen Tag mit einem k\u00f6stlichen Abendessen aus Baguette, franz\u00f6sischem K\u00e4se und Pastete ab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:75.88423%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"2268\" data-id=\"4532\" data-link=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/?attachment_id=4532\" data-url=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260618_175315569.jpg?w=1024\" data-width=\"4032\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260618_175315569.jpg\" \/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:24.11577%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"4032\" data-id=\"4533\" data-link=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/?attachment_id=4533\" data-url=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260618_195638700.jpg?w=576\" data-width=\"2268\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260618_195638700.jpg\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:32.95101%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"2917\" data-id=\"4530\" data-link=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/?attachment_id=4530\" data-url=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260621_1411308082.jpg?w=732\" data-width=\"2084\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260621_1411308082.jpg\" \/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:32.18621%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"2912\" data-id=\"4531\" data-link=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/?attachment_id=4531\" data-url=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260621_1414424002.jpg?w=715\" data-width=\"2032\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260621_1414424002.jpg\" \/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:34.86278%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"2082\" data-id=\"4529\" data-link=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/?attachment_id=4529\" data-url=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260621_2012276732.jpg?w=774\" data-width=\"1574\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260621_2012276732.jpg\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was a rainy and foggy Friday, which was perfect for visiting the Super U supermarket. It reminded us of Martinique, where it was our go-to grocery store. We checked out their selection and returned to the boat loaded with French goodies, such as more cheese, salami, madeleines, and Frenc butter cookies, but also with more essential items, like vegetables and fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6 wp-block-paragraph\">Es war ein regnerischer und nebliger Freitag \u2013 perfekte Bedingungen f\u00fcr einen Besuch im Super-U-Supermarkt. Das erinnerte uns an Martinique, wo dieser Supermarkt unsere erste Anlaufstelle f\u00fcr den Lebensmitteleinkauf gewesen war. Wir schauten uns das Sortiment an und kehrten mit einer Ladung franz\u00f6sischer Leckereien wie K\u00e4se, Salami, Madeleines und franz\u00f6sischen Butterkeksen aber auch mit wichtigeren Lebensmitteln wie Gem\u00fcse und Obst zum Boot zur\u00fcck.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-6 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"4477\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260622_191724687.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4477\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"4476\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260619_184555492.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4476\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After picking up some \u00e9clairs at the bakery, we spent the afternoon exploring the small heritage museum. Housed in a two-hundred-year-old building, the museum aims to educate visitors about the archipelago&#8217;s history. It showcases objects that bear witness to the archipelago&#8217;s social, economic, and religious evolution over the last two centuries. It was interesting to see not only what life was like 200 years ago but also how technology and, consequently, way of life have progressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7 wp-block-paragraph\">Nachdem wir in der B\u00e4ckerei ein paar \u00c9clairs gekauft hatten, verbrachten wir den Nachmittag damit, das kleine Heimatmuseum zu erkunden. Es ist in einem zweihundert Jahre alten Geb\u00e4ude untergebracht und hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, den Besuchern die Geschichte des Archipels n\u00e4herzubringen. Es zeigt Exponate, die von der sozialen, wirtschaftlichen und religi\u00f6sen Entwicklung der Region in den letzten zwei Jahrhunderten zeugen. Es war interessant zu sehen, wie das Leben vor 200 Jahren aussah und wie sich die Technik \u2013 und damit die Lebensweise \u2013 weiterentwickelt hat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:46.97398%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"2493\" data-id=\"4478\" data-link=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/?attachment_id=4478\" data-url=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260619_175324551.jpg?w=932\" data-width=\"2268\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260619_175324551.jpg\" \/><\/figure><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"2268\" data-id=\"4481\" data-link=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/?attachment_id=4481\" data-url=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260619_175556610.jpg?w=1024\" data-width=\"4032\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260619_175556610.jpg\" \/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:53.02602%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"3373\" data-id=\"4480\" data-link=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/?attachment_id=4480\" data-url=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260619_181425272.jpg?w=689\" data-width=\"2268\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260619_181425272.jpg\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:27.91685%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"3314\" data-id=\"4479\" data-link=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/?attachment_id=4479\" data-url=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260619_180601252.jpg?w=701\" data-width=\"2268\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260619_180601252.jpg\" \/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:72.08315%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"2268\" data-id=\"4482\" data-link=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/?attachment_id=4482\" data-url=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260619_180713114.jpg?w=1024\" data-width=\"4032\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260619_180713114.jpg\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the afternoon, we took the dinghy to visit \u00cele aux Marins, a small island located across from the Port of St. Pierre. From afar, it seemed as if the buildings on the island were frozen in time. A few people live there during the summer and are preserving the island&#8217;s heritage by restoring the colorful, traditional houses. Essentially, the island is a living history museum with pleasant trails and informative signs about its history. At its peak, the island had over 600 inhabitants. There is no running water or electricity, so homeowners rely on solar power or generators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8 wp-block-paragraph\">Am Nachmittag fuhren wir mit dem Beiboot zur \u00cele aux Marins, einer kleinen Insel gegen\u00fcber dem Hafen von St. Pierre. Von weitem sah es so aus, als seien die Geb\u00e4ude auf der Insel in der Zeit stehen geblieben. Im Sommer leben dort einige wenige Menschen, die sich um den Erhalt des kulturellen Erbes k\u00fcmmern, indem sie die farbenfrohen, traditionellen H\u00e4user restaurieren. Im Grunde ist die Insel ein lebendiges Geschichtsmuseum mit sch\u00f6nen Wanderwegen und informativen Schildern zu ihrer Geschichte. Zu ihrer Bl\u00fctezeit hatte die Insel \u00fcber 600 Einwohner. Da es weder flie\u00dfendes Wasser noch Strom gibt, sind die Bewohner auf Solarenergie oder Generatoren angewiesen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:100.00000%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"1373\" data-id=\"4484\" data-link=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/?attachment_id=4484\" data-url=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260620_163451320.jpg?w=1024\" data-width=\"4032\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260620_163451320.jpg\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:100.00000%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"1677\" data-id=\"4486\" data-link=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/?attachment_id=4486\" data-url=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260620_161829515.jpg?w=1024\" data-width=\"3837\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260620_161829515.jpg\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:100.00000%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"1790\" data-id=\"4485\" data-link=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/?attachment_id=4485\" data-url=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260620_161755083.mp_.jpg?w=1024\" data-width=\"3842\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260620_161755083.mp_.jpg\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:59.60126%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"1919\" data-id=\"4487\" data-link=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/?attachment_id=4487\" data-url=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260620_164013589.jpg?w=1024\" data-width=\"3786\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260620_164013589.jpg\" \/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:40.39874%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"3024\" data-id=\"4491\" data-link=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/?attachment_id=4491\" data-url=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260620_165834093.jpg?w=1024\" data-width=\"4032\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260620_165834093.jpg\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-7 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"4488\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260620_173130178.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4488\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"4489\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260620_174426498.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4489\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260620_175432050.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4490\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We postponed our departure by a day when we found out that Sailor&#8217;s Day, also known as the F\u00eate des Marins, was on Sunday, June 21. This day honors lost seamen, so we thought it would be interesting to attend. We waited in front of the church for the procession to begin, and then we walked to the small park where wreaths were placed in memory of lost sailors. The parade made its way to the harbor, where a variety of boats of all kinds and sizes, some adorned with vibrant maritime flags, were already gathered for the blessing of the fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9 wp-block-paragraph\">Als wir erfuhren, dass am Sonntag, dem 21. Juni, der Tag der Seeleute, auch bekannt als \u201eF\u00eate des Marins\u201c, stattfand, verschoben wir unsere Abreise um einen Tag. An diesem Tag wird der vermissten Seeleute gedacht, und wir dachten es k\u00f6nnte interessant sein, das mitzuerleben. Wir warteten vor der Kirche auf den Beginn der Prozession und gingen dann in den kleinen Park, in dem Kr\u00e4nze zum Gedenken an die vermissten Seeleute niedergelegt wurden. Der Umzug zog weiter zum Hafen, wo sich bereits eine Vielzahl von Booten aller Art und Gr\u00f6\u00dfe, von denen einige mit bunten Seefahnen geschm\u00fcckt waren, zur Flottensegnung versammelt hatte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-8 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"4495\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260619_1816463912.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4495\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"4499\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260621_134148649.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4499\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"4498\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260621_133201801.mp_.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4498\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:48.76357%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"1516\" data-id=\"4494\" data-link=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/?attachment_id=4494\" data-url=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260621_1344367902.jpg?w=1024\" data-width=\"2312\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260621_1344367902.jpg\" \/><\/figure><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"1930\" data-id=\"4496\" data-link=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/?attachment_id=4496\" data-url=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260621_1345566202.jpg?w=1024\" data-width=\"3297\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260621_1345566202.jpg\" \/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:51.23643%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"2717\" data-id=\"4497\" data-link=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/?attachment_id=4497\" data-url=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260621_135430074.mp2_.jpg?w=855\" data-width=\"2268\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260621_135430074.mp2_.jpg\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After one last early trip to the bakery for baguettes and croissants for breakfast and lunch, and after saying goodbye to some of the other sailboat crews with whom we shared the dock (some of whom we would see again in the coming weeks), we moved on. On June 23, we cast off and set sail for St. John&#8217;s, Newfoundland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-10 wp-block-paragraph\">Nach einem letzten fr\u00fchen Abstecher zur B\u00e4ckerei, um Baguettes und Croissants f\u00fcr das Fr\u00fchst\u00fcck und Mittagessen zu holen, und nachdem wir uns von einigen der anderen Segelbootbesatzungen verabschiedet hatten, mit denen wir uns den Liegeplatz geteilt hatten und von denen wir einige in den kommenden Wochen wiedersehen w\u00fcrden, setzten wir unsere Reise fort. Am 23. Juni legten wir ab und nahmen Kurs auf St. John\u2019s, Neufundland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-9 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"4474\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260621_202241439-1.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4474\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"4502\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260619_104210326.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4502\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sailingmakaan.wordpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pxl_20260623_085810572.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4505\"\/><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover Saint Pierre and Miquelon, a fascinating slice of France located just off the coast of Newfoundland.
