La Dolce Vita in Vannes

090619 – Port du Crouesty to Vannes
This is described in the sailing guides as an interesting passage and it lived up to it’s reputation. Between having the cockpit table up and the Chart spread out on it and the team keeping track of where we were on it and the skipper watching his Raymarine C80 plotter we were not likely to go wrong.
The trip proved to be as interesting as expected and the weather was lovely. There was lots of where the * are we.
On entering the canal for the final approach to Vannes we found out where the lost monies, which had been spent on the Dastardly Dongle, had been spent by orange. Their Mega Catamaran was an impressive sight and looked like it could eat (my) money., Crew and Oceans.
We tied up in Vannes and the heat was intense. Walked the city and on occasion we felt that Jim Slater was going native, as he declared his desire to set up residence. He said something about being a painter but we suggested that this could be a difficult way for him to make a living.
The Dastardly Dongle. – The Vannes experience .
So far every effort to get the Orange Everywhere Internet Dongle to work had failed badly. I visited the Orange shop in Vannes and the Chap there could not have done more for me. We eventually re-registered the actual Dongle and the Orange Phone assistant stated that it would be active from 09:00 the following morning Sunday 21/06/09.
At 09:05 21/06/09 I again tried to access the Orange Internet – but to no avail.
On Monday 22/06/09 I purchases €14 of additional credit and this immediately kicked in.
I tried to re-enter the original passwords and login names and they did not work and have not worked since.
