And either I was early or the microlight was late because it wasn’t there this afternoon when I went outside the door. But it wasn’t long in coming. As I walked across the car park outside it came along behind me from the direction of Donville les Bains.<\/p>\n It’s becoming something of a regular thing to encounter the microlight and I wonder how long it’s going to be going on that I’ll be meeting it. It was still warm though. Warm enough for there to be more people out there on the beach again having fun. No-one in swimwear and no-one in the water either. It’s not as warm as that.<\/p>\n And no boats out at sea. I suppose that the tide being right out will have something to do about that, but it is rather strange given the last few weeks when we’ve not been able to move without tripping over a boat of some description. But there was activity at the old Atlantic Wall bunker that they finally opened up last year – regular readers of this rubbish will recall that we had a guided tour of it at the time. I’m not sure what they were doing there today but I admired the vehicle in which they arrived.<\/p>\n Maybe I should have gone to find out more about it but having offered my help to them last year and then let them down (I broke my hand and damaged my knee about 2 days later) it’s not the moment, especially as I don’t have the time these days to become involved. Regular readers of this rubbish will have seen plenty of photos from this point of view. In the foreground down there is the memorial to the crews of the lifeboats that were lost during attempted rescues.<\/p>\n But in the background we have the Baie de Mont St Michel with the tide right out as far as it can go. The rock on which Le Loup<\/em>, the warning light at the entrance to the harbour, sits is clearly visible today.<\/p>\n We’ve seen it almost totally submerged when the tide is right in. My walk took me along the path on top of the headland over to the viewpoint where there’s a good view of the work going on. We had eight boats in there the last time that we looked, but today there’s only seven again.<\/p>\n And some of those are different too. It looks as if there has been considerably more than just a shuffling of the pack. The pink one in the mobile crane is new, and the blue and yellow one that has been here for a while is missing too. Back here I had my hour on the guitars and then went for tea. Steamed vegetables and vegan cheese sauce followed by apple crumble.<\/p>\n![\"microlight](\"http:\/\/www.erichall.eu\/images\/2009\/2009132.jpg\")
<\/a>There was the break in mid-afternoon for me to go for my usual afternoon walk.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n<\/a>The weather today has changed. The wind is back and the clouds have come along. The day was quite overcast.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n<\/a>The kids are out there again today orienteering. This looks as if it’s becoming a regular occurrence too.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n<\/a>Instead I went on across the lawn and around the headland.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n<\/a>And it’s all change once more in the chantier navale<\/em> today.<\/p>\n
