No, this is not a contemporary art installation but a sad reminder of what happened last week. We were test sailing not even 36 hours before on a Salina 48 catamaran in the notorious Bay of Biscayne, France when a violent depression battered the region of Charente Maritimes. Thousands of boats sustained damage and tragically 52 people got killed as miles of old seawalls collapsed in tidal surges. Fountaine Pajot's La Rochelle plant was temporarily flooded but could resume operation today. This event was overshadowed by the Chilean earthquake, the resulting Tsunami and massive snowfalls over the North Eastern US. Folks, it is time to realize that Mother Earth threw a series of tantrums - possibly in reaction to Global Warming.
