La Solitaire du Figaro

The yachts of the solo 'La Solitaire du Figaro' race arrived in Gijón yesterday. They seem to have bought some nice weather as well as a welcome splash of colour with them.

The race is in several legs, Bordeaux - Oporto - Gijón - Roscoff - Dieppe. I believe there are 42 yachts taking part, although I didn't count them.

Soon they''ll be off on the next leg, back to France. Bon voyage (but feel free to leave the fine weather behind you).
