Brioc (2024)

[bunniefuu]

We all dreamed one day

to travel through time, isn't it?

What if I told you I found a way to do it?

To arrive on board a strange

boat which has the power

to propel you back more than 1000 years?

And if today you propose to follow me,

to embark with me in

this strange ship is to live

a wonderful adventure.

So we weigh anchor.

Well, before we go, a

little introduction is in order.

My name is Johan and I will be your guide

first of all since always.

I am passionate about

stories, travel and adventures.

And for as long as I can remember,

I was steeped in the Middle Ages

child first by his imagination

of adventure and legend.

Then years later through my

leatherwork which brought me

brought to crisscross the festivals

medieval France and Navarre.

I also have another

passion: images and cinema.

So when I discovered

this strange machine and its

crew, I want to

tell you their unusual story.

So I put on my tunic of one.

I'll get my camera ready

and take you with me.

Our story begins around

the 18th century in the

Celtic islands today, called Great Britain.

At that time, a handful of

monks decided to take the

sea towards Little Britain.

Legends say that they

embarked on board the heart

oceanic wooden ships covered with leather.

It is also said that one

of them arrived on the

Armorican coasts and found,

the town of Saint-Brieuc,

And not far from 15 centuries later,

The story continues in

Carlo in a small village in

North Finistre in the pagan country.

Behind the doors of its

dilapidated guard hides our and

medieval brio, an oceanic k 12 meters long

under the leadership of their

young captain Engue Jaen.

All these people are

getting ready to experience a

rather standard adventure.

I come from a family

very close to the mother,

but I grew up in the town

of Dinan where there are

famous medieval constitutions.

And so, I was immersed in

a medieval fantasy universe

since I was little always

revealed to be knight and company.

And around the age of 20,

during my studies at the fine arts,

I am faced with the

mother's call with Hermione,

a reconstruction of 18th century frigates.

I understand that the sea

is actually everything to me.

And it's the environment

in which I feel best.

And more precisely the

sea in history with boats

made of natural, wood, hemp, linen, etc.

This is what attracts me the most.

And as for the detour of a finished

haber emerging from the mist,

the age-old silhouette of brio.

We quickly understand what

could have seduced the young man

Captain Celine raw, his

linen sails, his leather hull,

everything takes us back to a

legendary imagination which calls for

adventure but brilliance

beyond a simple ship.

It was a fantastic story that began.

It's been over 25 years now.

The most important word

is the word adventure.

So I think it's a central word in

this this story.

The main idea, therefore, was to

to give back or to give

to the city of Saint-Brieuc a

image, a more visible identity.

That's when I offered to

build or rebuild the nearest

from the original prototype to k, since

the holy founder of the

town of Saint-Brieuc is a monk

Celt who was called Brio

and who probably came from

Wales via ship.

So leather skin to leather co. So a cuo

To build brilliantly,

Louis gets help from Mathias Mercier

who has already built cu.

They are organizing a

reintegration project together for

bring this ship back to life,

so many profiles that for months,

will leave part of it in this boat.

It is said that a craftsman

leaves a part of his

soul in the pieces he creates.

And I think they have

contributed to giving this brilliantly

character for months,

they built the skeleton

and k*lled the riveted wood,

then they sewed together

the 70 cow pots which

constitute the shell of brio.

And then one day, it finally happened,

The ship leaves the hangar brio.

It's a bit like the monster

in Marie Che's novel,

a wooden skeleton covered

with a variegated skin of

couture in the image of the

human shock that gave birth to it

an assembly born from the multitude

and in the image of the monster.

Soon he will free

himself from his creator to

live one's own destiny

From I believe that

c, from there that human beings do what is

better in society, socially

speaking, this boat there,

as in fact all the objects

which serve as support for a

challenge, an adventure, it is rich because

It's a succession of unexpected events.

So my astonishment, my unexpectedness,

It is that the brilliance

has become something

maybe someone I never imagined

Forced into exile after

losing his hang guard

Saint-Brieuc Brio, like

Frankenstein's monster, will live on

over 1000 years of adventures.

During this period, he

will pass tomorrow in hand,

traveling the Breton

coasts even carrying the

imposing granite statues

by the artist Franois Breton.

And we come across it at that moment and

moment so love at first sight.

I find it magnificent.

And one day, it should have

been the end of the adventure,

but tough-skinned and refuses to die.

Solidarity is being organized

to get him out of trouble

Brio will find itself following

a holy construction site for a

year and a half where we change.

I don't know how much to

put, almost eight to 10 meters

leather squares.

So everything is hand-sewn,

etc. We change the rigging.

We put ropes in the room,

we put square linen sails.

The goal is to make

it completely historical,

even if it means taking time

to do a project as much as the

boat emerges with a

heightened historical interest

Because it is indeed the

master here, the story

many of those who make up the brio crew,

indulge in their passion

for historical reenactment

and more precisely, that

which consists of revisiting life

10th century Bretons.

The madou, it's how to

say a mushroom that will

make a coal that won't be very hot,

but on the other hand,

who will slowly burn out?

So we try to rediscover life and techniques

of yesteryear in search,

perhaps of a simplicity,

of an escape or simply

of common sense lost along the way.

The first idea with

brilliance and reconstruction,

it is to update knowledge, to do

old ones and reappropriate

techniques which ultimately

are completely exploitable

or whose mentality or

The savoir vivre they bring is desirable.

So, in the beginning, we were kids who,

my good medieval effect.

And gradually, we started to win seriously.

And one day, we said to ourselves

that an association had to be created.

And from there, we started sh**ting people.

Which ultimately all had

a profile quite close to a

another fight, nice and

interested in the basics of the test and

historical intelligence?

What interested me at the beginning,

This is the historic fight.

And so I went to see them Ken and

the brothers who had set up

the association of the ardes,

the fighters in Breton.

And so, the goal of the association,

It was about doing medieval combat.

And so I joined them after that,

we try to see what works

in terms of techniques

artisanal, because suddenly,

we have to do everything by hand.

And so, what ends up happening

is that we spend more time on

sew that to fight that, if we had said it,

I wouldn't have been seen

Today's Brio teammates

who make things happen

with hands and who ref,

do things with organic matter.

So I think they are on

the right path and it is not

just a nostalgic glance like that they

represents, but truly

a voice of the future.

And that is undoubtedly

what gives all its flavor to this

project to rediscover what we

are capable of doing with our hands

in an ever more

freed from natural constraints.

Here, we have set ourselves

the challenge of traveling

thanks to our work alone.

In short, the project is brilliant,

is to take the sea in a northerly

direction and by the same

opportunity to go back in time,

we would start from Carlo in the

North Finistre to join the English crow,

the objective to cross the Channel again,

do the opposite route to the

one who would have done the

monks, a journey of almost

1000 years back in time for

experience medieval-style sailing.

It's still quite a journey

for this little Raffi.

And I wonder if the

monks actually faced the

sleeve on boats like that.

So I went and asked

Historically, it's difficult.

To have certainties.

We have hypotheses. People

are bringing these stories up.

Of monk, moving in the

fourth sixth century to

the main thing, the same sixth

according to the documents,

according to the legend

at the historical level,

It's much more complicated

since the sources that make

mention written sources that mention monks,

it is at best from the 19th century,

otherwise we eee century.

And it's hard to know if the

ships are made of leather or

woods were more or less important.

It's circulating. The monks

will talk about the whole team of

ship roughly the same

vocabulary boat nah West,

doe and where are they going,

They most certainly come from

the current country of Gall or

see the British crow

and then arrive earlier on

the north coast of Brittany on

what would correspond to the

coastlines of the

Ctes-d'Armor and the Vilaines or

Finistre for the most part.

So it's a crossing that

really happens at different

times and above all,

was maintained throughout the Middle Ages.

Well, even if we have few sources,

we know it's been done before.

For the rest, we are

swimming in a bit of a fog.

Historical, the ideal

So we're going to do what we know.

To experiment.

We also decided to make a new sailing game

entirely by hand.

It's a bit of a big assembly

To sail the open seas with brilliance.

We also need to modify the ship a little.

So as always system d,

We make an oven to form our breakwaters.

These large steam-formed

wooden planks will come

follow the curves of the

ship to raise the bow and

prevent them from being filled by the

breaking waves in the middle.

Here, everything remains to

not all

there. That

Sinks in a little, but it

Same thing, no real source on that.

On the other hand, a certain common

sense leads us to believe that the

sailors of the time surely had recourse

to the same type of strategy.

It's not bad. I'm at home with the stuff.

These are ships that

are partially described

in both ancient sources.

Caesar speaks of it, sy.

Apollinaire also speaks of it.

So there are descriptions,

we talk about ships,

small ships and wicker inside also the

leather tanned in some

cases with precision.

And so then we can have a little more boats

big ones who can do 10

12, about fifteen meters maximum.

And there, indeed, really,

we find them only in the

Celtic world or in the world

British in the very broad sense,

the Anglo-Saxon islands and Brittany.

But we must also see that it

may be linked to the sources

say if the sources do not speak about it,

the historian is blind.

So it's not because we

don't have something in

a text that doesn't exist.

And even if the reconstruction

allows us to experience the

techniques, the sources remain the basis.

And this, well beyond the

construction of the ship,

We are doing historical research on

clothes shoes.

We will look for written

iconographic sources,

it can be in manuscripts

religious, it can take time.

These may be excavation reports,

fragments of fabric can

also be found in graves

in the peat bogs,

fragments or entire costumes,

not too much in Brittany

as the land is rather chalky.

So it doesn't really

keep, but it's not bad.

In Scandinavia, we know

that there was a mixture.

We know that these are still

people who met.

So we know that we can still rely on a

part of their source.

Actually, it's going to

be mostly wool events.

We found a little bit of one,

but in rather rich tones.

So the l is often for underwear.

So it's the underwear.

There are two kinds of pants, full pants,

otherwise they are separate things.

It's two tubes, one with the same foot.

So there's just no crotch.

So it is attached to the belt

of the bands molt material.

In fact, they are large

woven strips of wool

that we will wrap around the calves.

This allows you to be less wet for combat.

It also helps protect yourself.

So it really has a lot of uses.

The shoes are leather.

Sure, they're quite flexible.

It's leather ties on the front,

not like a modern lace.

There is still a use on board the boat with

shoes, that's all there

is to hurting yourself.

It's very quick to get

hit in the foot by a plane.

When you are barefoot

after a long wool tunic.

And we can add layers

Four With a knife, a leather belt,

we can k*ll leather, have leather hoods,

leather hoods.

There is definitely a utility

to it, and there is a comfort

on the boat that we don't have with events

modern on the boat, right?

We use wool instead.

So we attested with linen, linen.

Once it's wet, as soon as it's rained

or a wave, the linen, it

becomes fresh, we are frozen,

we can't get warm.

So if we are dressed, all in

wool, on the other hand wool,

once it's wet, it's waterlogged.

It takes time to dry, but it gets hot,

It heats up very quickly and

regulates the temperature.

So obviously, we sweat less in it.

It smells less strong

as the odors remain less

as a nice team.

What? A small boat.

We are making a dozen leather bags

who will be put under

the benches or members of

the crew can put their objects and their

their clothes which are dry.

And so we know where they are, here it is.

I have already brought

mine which are based on sur

Roman originals.

Since I am the one who

makes late antiquity in

the crew and the rest,

They're going to have

the bags we're making now.

And there you have it.

Afterwards, we can close this again.

Still lacks rope.

And it's going to be like that

under the bench with all the things

after a bit, just pass

enough under the bench,

like in the plane and

take his emergency drop.

Most of the historical tools

we have already tested,

notably by the sculling, it was started,

we split the wood.

So with wooden wedges with an axe,

after we cut with an adze,

we worked with a plane,

research and all that shows us

the different types of tools.

And we realize that

time does not allow us to

to do everything in historical fashion.

Yes, time is the great

constraint of which he is the

more difficult to free

oneself on this site,

all these little world of

volunteers and must deal with its

own modern constraints and obligations.

Add to that reduced weather

windows and increasingly

more uncertain over the years.

If we want to leave, we are

a race against time to play.

I'm pretty stressed

because we have to finish.

In fact, I absolutely have

to leave on August 3rd and

It may be, we will leave on the 30th.

So, with the timing, it's enough

quite a stressful situation.

If we are not ready soon,

it is no longer worth it.

So we do what we can to be on time.

And

Singing coffee.

It's like we're in a big conference.

We live together all the time, we do

the same things at the same time.

If people want to do

sports in the evening and

there are five of us to do.

If you have to do that

just to take a shower,

we really live in a community

and at the same time,

we spend all our days working together

For the duration of the work.

The majority of the crew

has taken up residence at

The cleanest

before the

And on the 12th, his meals

based on food recovery for in.

It's also time to take a

quick look at the weather.

Change is a little complicated

than we tend to be

palaces way to the east and everything.

Then it comes a little northwest.

It's not called ideal because it

bounces a little on the cornish.

It prevents us from passing.

But once we reach the

Irish Sea and the Can, St. George's Day,

there, its abyss inside.

We have the highway

to happiness to the north,

this Wednesday until 12.

It comes after his kisses.

And then it comes north,

stays north. Very strong.

Here we have a group of

friends and it's true that we

all look like the majority.

We are bearded, the majority,

These are the challenges that must be

met by brick reconstruction at the time,

It was made with a

diversity with older ones with

young people with people maybe

to improve the less well-off.

The idea is that you just have to ask,

To be part of the Brio project, just ask,

just come and just love from the moment,

we loved Brio and the

people who are with it,

There is no problem there, it is voluntary.

I am not from Brittany

or the marine environment,

then I was also at a point in

my life when I was unemployed

a little depressed because

I hadn't managed to find

only one job in my field of study.

And when I heard about this project,

since I'm also a bit of a

fan of the story of everything

next, come on, why not?

Let's try especially

What we do. It is

collective mutual aid,

moments that are very

interesting in terms of sharing

and exchanges, and also

at the level of pedagogy,

the way we each learn.

So there are some who

learn more or less quickly.

And so, these are the

people who are needed.

Succeed in accompanying.

And so we are both in the role

of master student

suddenly, it's, it's exciting

in the middle of my arms and it's the beam

on the quality of the seat.

And so it's going to switch here.

It will be soft at that point,

you'll have to turn around and get there.

You take the slack that is

here, we hang up again in the

Strap. That's it, it's done.

The big day. Finally,

the first step that brings

us closer to the start

the launch after months of construction,

it's the moment of truth

and take out this big one

two-ton baby from the shed.

It's already a small challenge.

We most likely need wine jersey or

to put on underwear, etc.

This year, we're not putting everything on.

There are few too many

people who know us and we

doesn't want to have the police.

We are in traffic jams, you can see it,

blocks absolutely everything because

And as we approach the

goal and the beach is in sight

A man more rejected,

It is precisely projects like Brio that are

completely crazy, which

encourage you a little bit to be

bold instead, DNA that I would never have

recovered a boat like that.

And I would never have even

dreamed of such a project in terms

of responsibility in terms

of organization in terms of

I will feel like I'm taking on water,

but good to see that someone

does it anyway and that it

is someone who is no more

which is nothing exceptional.

It's someone like you, like me,

It's just that he's completely passionate.

It is a success, but it is

mixed because we do not have

of immediate result.

It will flow at one point

from there, it's perfect.

Unfortunately, the tide

eventually receded without

take away, brilliance,

launching in two stages.

SO

We are at the point where he

woke up at five o'clock this morning.

To be on the boat at six o'clock,

because the sea, the other,

the sea was at seven.

We are so happy. It floats.

Now it is for one person of each

And at the first light of dawn

under the fleeting gaze of the

Virgin Island Brio Lighthouse,

finally gets out of his trailer

and returns to his element.

For us, it is a first victory and not

lesser, Lalo,

Finally, as a child,

For me, the brilliance

with which he ended his life

is what he had represented.

It was a finished story.

It was a story that could

be told in the past tense.

And there you have it,

as if by great surprise,

the brilliance comes back

to life with new people,

new projects, new energy.

So brilliance can lead us to think that,

when we think that

everything is over, no, it

there may be resurrection.

One of

on

Surprised Aura

On the Brioc crossing

will have historical interest.

That is to say that in the texts,

we have ships that leave from port abbeys

from the British coast to Brittany, that,

we know how it happened, however

actually inside the ship.

The real conditions, that,

we don't have it, we

don't have a description.

And so naturally, it will

allow us to approach not

necessarily reality, but as

close as possible to the reality of

what the medieval era could have

been like or with the experience,

We come back to see

later with the rudder and the

From there,

regarding work and what can be done.

We are really very close to the taste,

but we have the weather,

it is less and less good for us,

but it is uncertain

because it is the heart of a

depression from the moment

it is the eye really of the

depression, it can change completely

everything from one day to the next.

So that means we have a possibility of

leave, but not on Monday.

So we have to be ready to

leave on Monday, if we can.

Here we are, the final stretch

by the fateful date,

we only have a little time left

and yet a lot of work.

So we cut the sails as

fast as our sore fingers

through the work of the last

few months allows us to do so.

The whole crew is busy

complete the final work on board.

Despite the fatigue,

everyone gives their all.

And the workshop takes on

the appearance of a real anthill.

We have a captain at

the end of his rope, that

On the beach too. We

the wool tent that will be our

only defense is being set up

facing the vagaries of the weather.

Bretonne is installed

for the final adjustments.

And then finally, we bring the trough.

This hollow granite block, a good hundred

kilos will welcome the fire on board.

It will be our kitchen and

our only source of heat.

Besides, these are the same troughs,

the only lasting remains of

these boats which inspired

the legends of stone boats, monks.

And when some texts

speak of 70 months on board,

Indeed, we can speak of a miracle.

And today, we reach the end.

All these long months

of work have brought us

here on this beach.

And for the first time in

a long time, Brioc and his

crew delights the eyes with

a spectacle of which only he

secret of a sudden,

the magic happens and we meet again

catapulted back 10 centuries.

So there, not only is

there a historical interest,

there may also be a personal

interest as well as all of a sudden

suddenly, our texts

which are a little cold,

not even descriptive but cold,

will become a little more

carnal and real thanks to

the experiment that will be

carried out on board the Brioc.

Well, despite the pretty

picture, to be honest,

the season is already well advanced.

And now the weather

conditions are as expected.

A departure would go

against all common sense.

We gave our time,

We gave money and patience.

We really gave it our all.

That's life. That's how it is.

You should not be disappointed

or not have the impression

of having missed something.

It's brilliance that demands

all the effort we've made.

And in one way or another, he makes it and

it is less delayed in time.

There you go. But well done everyone.

Let's not lie to ourselves.

We're still quite disappointed.

All this work done to finally stay

there, but that's the game.

Redo to history,

it is to accept a report as well

different from today's.

So we console ourselves with a

test outing and we give ourselves

See you next year with

a definite advantage.

The boat will be ready.

That's it, we're back to Carlo.

A year has passed since our last attempt

Because And as is often

the case with brilliance,

we welcome newcomers.

And this year, we're starting

with an international crew.

And

has,

I think that's the key

to this kind of thing,

is that people also

learn a lot to do things

sails, make a boat there.

And I see this energy

only in projects or people.

Really will acquire knowledge

that they do not have.

We were able to have one of the

dozens of young people who come

from all over Europe and all over France,

of all social profiles nor

and work what and that,

It's quite unusual that I

think it's the strength of Brio,

but it's also a big headache,

It's a parade.

And we have to leave tomorrow morning.

And I was wondering if you

would have been available for us

drive a truck tonight

On foot. Because what is

what I have

Still this morning? Look

in the weather, I said to myself

if we don't change

plans, they're in the sea,

we needed to talk as soon as possible

leave as soon as possible.

We are talking about winning two

tides ahead, two tides ahead.

It's a dozen hours and a dozen hours.

This is the time we can

gain to avoid getting hit.

Of wind in the face that we arrive at too.

But that means we

lose a day of preparation.

So he wants to do everything twice as fast,

with potentially half as

many target audiences as a

part of the crew is not yet mobilized, etc.

So today we try to put

everything in the coffers

that the entire food and

catering section is settled.

We try to make the boat

by to navigate and for

all that the finishes and

company like d, it will go to the trap

As wheat, oats and craisin for

not just to spill, I put

a fairly thick link that

we waxed with beeswax

that we heat with our hands,

the wax is crazy, a little bit,

C. Good,

It's good. And by good, it's good.

The first thing that comes to mind,

This is a slightly dangerous

side of the matter,

because it's the sleeve,

one of the most frequented mothers.

And so on a 10th century boat

12 meters in the conditions of the time,

It is truly a perilous undertaking.

And so there is something

perhaps miraculous,

a bit like in the days of Brio Cast,

a briec to try it again

D.

to roll

and that

Because of the east wind,

it was too dangerous for us.

We decided to move the boat

for a departure further east.

The plan is simple: tomorrow,

at the first light of day,

We set sail and head for the islands.

And

From

For once, we're sailing.

Now, it's great to see

it working like that.

This is so good.

It's exceptional. What we have,

it is a combination of troop circumstances,

not funny between the sick birches

and the mistakes that we make

can do things that take more time,

the ths that are not there.

And there was a relentless

onslaught of sick people.

And there you realize that

the sails work like crazy.

We have more space than before.

We're making good progress.

Everything is going well,

Now that we're on the right course,

we will be able to rest a little and relax.

You remember the tinder fungus will talk or

It is thanks to him that we

want to be able to eat and

All about smoking.

And despite the inconvenience of the smoke,

a few minutes later,

we can finally enjoy

our little medieval and

enjoy a magnificent sunset

on the English Channel.

So it is with a full stomach that we

let's start our first night at sea.

Everyone finds their place on

board. The boat is moving well.

And we are hopeful of

reaching the Sili Islands before

the arrival of the depression

coming from the west,

but like a bad twist of fate at nightfall,

the wind drops and we

experience one of the greatest

fears of the sailors of the time, the ole,

especially since on Brio,

there is no engine on board.

Go rather quickly.

The sails worked well there,

we see that it is a little for the moment,

calmer in terms of wind.

So we hope that will change.

Because otherwise we won't be able to do it

as you wish today. What?

We'll see a little.

It's a bit of an emotional rollercoaster.

There it is oil and oil.

She wants to last until

two, three o'clock, beat me,

I really hoped we were

ahead of schedule today.

And we didn't get that

much of a head start.

And tomorrow, the wind is

forecast to be a little less strong

that it was originally planned.

So at risk longer than expected.

So unless it works really well

In the middle of the

night, we return to Brittany.

There you go. So we'll see

in the middle of the night.

Deprived of our only

means of moving forward.

We find ourselves tossed about by a

almost stagnant sea.

We are now too far from

the coast to hope for the

wait by rowing, at the

mercy of the currents.

We have no choice but to rely on the

sea and hope for the wind to return.

Ideally, it will be west northwest

to try to be able to follow a

little the road that we are on

planned to go up to the islands.

But when you can light your

way with candles on a ship

open, so to speak,

it's really not a deposit,

Alex on the map can

only observe our slow drift

but certain towards the west,

We are pushed more by the swell than

actually on the route we are

trying to take with the wind.

That's how it is, but

there, it's true that oil,

it's not necessarily

optimal for navigation.

It's a little more complicated with us.

Our food water reserves are still full.

So don't panic on that side,

We still hope that the wind

will return quickly because there

always has this storm coming

The next morning, still no wind.

We wake up on a sea of oil.

We've only been gone for 24 hours.

And in this landscape haloed

for the first time on the journey,

I feel like I'm experiencing

one of the trials that must have

live the monks and

sailors of ancient times.

And then, for the first

time having actually crossed

the time, the

currents brought us almost

back to the height of Car Loen

and now we can fly back to the coast.

And suddenly, I tell

myself that the choice of gu

was really wise.

If we had weighed anchor at

the start of the car, we would have

would be wading in the

middle of the Atlantic without

no way to turn back,

bad luck.

Here we are back to square one.

And I think that these tourists

who came to enjoy the sun do not

didn't really expect this spectacle.

People often ask us what we are,

what are we going to do with it?

And are we Vikings?

So we have that, but in any case,

It's a pretty enigmatic

boat, I think for people and

which do not leave you indifferent.

What? I don't know if it is

because I consider him as a person from

the departure also because

everyone talks about it like a

no one, but it's hard

not to personify this boat

because we really have

the impression that he has a

personality that it is he who decides.

So yes, we say that

brilliance and capriciousness,

but he surely has his

reasons for this evening,

we will stay sheltered in the bay in

waiting for the depression to pass.

We hope to take advantage of the change of

wind and follow in his footsteps.

So last night of peace and

quiet before the big crossing.

And so, the idea is to

have a bed that we can

use other than sleeping.

So, the cape that serves as our coat,

it's going to be one of

our covers, the cover water,

It helps the finest

possible who comes there

as a bonus in comfort.

And after that, we have an

agreement which is exclusive,

but which can also be

used when rowing for not

wear out the effect on

the benches, it's the skin.

So we have a cover skin and that's it.

Ok, second attempt,

the sun rises and we get ready.

The wind is quite strong.

So, to reduce the sail,

we decide to have some rice

here we go.

As we leave the Breton coast behind us,

we begin to notice the

sea left by the storm,

A small one or two meters,

sometimes a little more.

But otherwise, it's going to be a

whole thing that can be agitating.

Well, three meters, I think.

On I

Not the steps but the

five meters of hollow.

Well, you will have

understood, the further we go,

the bigger the sea becomes.

And at that moment, I

wonder if I really have

good thing you got me involved in this,

A little bit of a tug of

w*r between the swell

and the wind and everything

that pulls to one side, me,

I pull the other one and

we try to see who is right.

Who is it?

How can we believe that this

attempt is not the right one?

When a pod of dolphins

suddenly appears for us

escort out to sea, he plays around

of us testifying.

So from our more than sustained pace,

the westerly winds left by the storm

make it difficult to access the six.

So after escaping the

mist returned to land and

took shelter at Bri Augan,

We are now heading towards England.

The open sea opens up before us and bricks

reveals its marine potential.

But soon, danger looms on the horizon,

a danger that did not exist

1000 years ago and that

Now we will have to face

There. I'm on the eve, we

will soon enter the canal.

And so, so that we are

sufficiently vigilant about

to avoid cargo ships,

something that was not

there in the 10th century, you

Manage to pull down the foremast wall

While the sailors' stories are

populated by sea monsters.

Here we soon discover

very different monsters,

metal giants several hundred meters high

long since brio.

It's true that the view is impressive. I

I'm on the port side, which

is me on the starboard side.

I didn't see,

We are not on the water. And with

the swell, we see that

you go 50 and 80 meters from the street.

And we must imagine that this is not

They are not the ones

who will change course.

There are three on our starboard side,

we are clear about the first two.

There's a small one hidden behind.

So it's up to us to be vigilant.

Dodge change course.

This is it

An unbalanced balance of power lies.

To avoid damaging this building,

we decided to take a slight turn.

We were afraid of their father

having a few holes in the hull.

We didn't get on board

so much that it was closing.

With a knife between his teeth.

It seems a bit ambitious to me and

the catch can't take the effort.

I can't help but wonder

with a small smile on his lips.

What could they have thought

when they saw our boat from

their footbridge, a vestige of

the past that ventures onto a

of the busiest shipping

routes in the modern world.

It must be said that the

feeling of anachronism is strong.

And yet we challenge

these giants on their own turf

of play, them,

their 200 meters long and

their oil and we 12 meters

of leather wood, hemp linen and the

wind as the only fuel.

I must admit that the landscape is very

Impressive.

The pain of the boat's

sails, the people's clothes,

All we see is a form of natural beauty.

So it's actually not necessarily this

that can be seen on all boats

For this crossing. Seamstress

impossible to put up the tent.

So for tonight, it will be

back to back under the stars

A bit normal.

This day was d. It's true that it was

For my part, I am happy with the moment.

Without realizing that it is

the accomplishment, in fact,

the beginning of the

accomplishment of what one works for

for several years.

J. The impression that the

ideal course is that the two stars

to the right of the large one in case

Believe it or not, but those

who are followed that night

are almost magical.

The one who once could

transform the simplest

story in legend while

we were sinking deeper

and deeper into the darkness

from a sea of jets, the waves light up.

Suddenly our passage, let

us draw the Milky Way in our

furrow soon this inert glow

whirled and turned to fly.

Let us draw arabesques

of ephemeral blue light

spectral around us.

When finally darkness

returned to the present moment,

the celestial vault suddenly

tore apart with a burst

dazzling marking the sky

with a burning cloud which

soon faded into darkness more than ever.

During this journey, I really

put myself in the shoes of these

navigators from Milan

sailing in an uncharted ocean

where the unknown

was still draped in magic.

The images from last

night are still present and

now seem like the

fragments of a strange dream

Last night was pretty crazy.

There were plankton dolphins,

the dolphins who were doing

arabesques in the night

plankton with all the stars

from the sky that were

there with all magic,

Still no land in sight.

The second quarter team had to continue its

slalom among the cargo ships.

But that's it, we've passed,

England is reaching out to us.

It's only a matter of time.

The earth is getting closer

and closer. It's going well.

Thought we were going to

have a little rain, but actually

to slip through the net

after everyone is awake on board,

then we have to arrive

For the earth.

Oh,

It's a pleasure.

We are not lost for centuries

and centuries in the middle of

sea, that means we

will end up touching land.

And there we are, the crow.

We are inexorably approaching Pence Bay

after several days at sea,

the setbacks of weather delays.

We finally arrive at the

first stage of Brio's journey.

This little medieval heart

has proven that it is still

able to face the round.

They all don't realize that there is a good

star above brioc first because

No one would think that

such a boat is so seaworthy.

We imagine that it is a boat at best,

an annex for large boats or,

and finally we discover

while sailing with that the ex

extremely marine which

withstands waves of five meters,

a boat that behaved admirably and in fact,

all COS under chance.

All the beauty of what we

experience ultimately brings us back to

a kind of mystical wandering.

We too fall into a species

of faith that we sometimes cannot name

Well done to all

and that's it

At Each Slice

Madness, same madness

with every slice eaten polished,

put his g*n there, it's big

there, it's too low, there.

It's too far away there, it's fine.

So yes, it's not really

the drop-off point that we

had thought at first,

but it's part of the game.

You have to know how to adapt.

And there by an almost

providential coincidence,

whose briotte often delights us,

we go up an aber to

discover a resplendent place

of a calm that contrasts

with the tumult of the waters.

This abbey, founded by a

Breton monk in the sixth century

welcomes us as a nod

to the destiny of brio and

to the epic of the monks

who inspired this journey.

And like them, I tell myself that

all this would not have been possible

that by the will of dozens of

people that brilliantly knew how

federate for more than 25 years.

We really have this

idea of an exploit, maybe

it might not work.

We had never done it,

We have a crossing to make.

If someone is a little bit in trouble,

but we will adapt, we

tried to help him, then he,

he tries to help us

when he can and that's it,

It's really a great experience.

These are links for me that

that I will always keep and if Jero

people anywhere I think we can meet this

mind there too, quite easily.

To What

It's not a list of things

I absolutely have to do.

That I checked and it's good.

I can pass, no, no,

I want to continue

doing this kind of thing.

And, and it was brilliance that

made me want to be a sailor.

We all find different things

in this adventure and at

the same time, concretely, the

but it is the same for everyone.

So there is a notion of

dream and at the same time,

It's much less nebulous than that.

We seem to believe

The notion of dream, it comes

up often and we always have

the impression of having dreamed.

And actually, to be very honest,

I haven't had the pangs of waking up yet,

which means I don't understand

what's happening to me.

So we will see if it

has the pinch or if the

life, it's been a happening all along

with briotte everything is possible.

Once this journey is completed,

It is finally time for us to

return to the 21st century,

we decide to leave brio to

the fondant aber of the bay of

pence in the hollow of this forest

Brio will wait for our return

to continue his journey towards

the north and reach its final

destination in Scotland, the island
