After a couple of days anchored off the Ile d'Aix, L' Hermione made her first trip under sail on Wednesday, September 10'th! She was under sail with 7 of her 17 sails set, and made an average speed of about 5 knots. I have not been able to find any pictures or videos of her under sail yet, but I will keep looking!
There have been a few technical glitches with L' Hermione though, I am not sure what the issues are, but she put in to the port of La Rochelle a day earlier than scheduled to work on them. She is currently anchored and will remain in port till Monday, the 15'th. They are not allowing access to the ship. It seems that there was also an incident or two with some tourists wanting to come aboard her while she was anchored off Ile d'Aix, but the crew repelled boarders successfully!
I have some more great news mates, not only is L' Hermione now underway on her own sail power, she will soon also have a gorgeous Stern Lantern to complete her authentic look! Thanks to all the people who donated to the KisskissBankbank fund raising drive, over 500 people donated and well over €48,000, €8000 more than the original goal!
While I still have no pictures or videos of her under sail that I have found, but here are a couple more good videos from September 7'th!
