"The Crew" singing on the Belem deck in Cowes

Heading for France with the sound of music still echoing in her sails, Belem left her erstwhile haven of Cowes, on the Isle of Wight on May 13th after three days of warm welcomes, enjoyable encounters and a splendid demonstration of sea shanties by the crew… sorry ”The Crew” that really had them all singing on the decks! This Sunday musical interlude on board was due to the clever thinking of Barry Seaward, whose grandfather Mark was First Mate on board the three –master when she belonged to Sir Arthur Ernest Guinness, sailing under the name of Fantôme II and the colours of the Cowes Royal Yacht Squadron. As a member of the sea shanty band known as “The Crew” he had this brilliant idea of having them perform on board Belem, to the keen pleasure of all concerned, including the real-life crew, the trainees and the crowd of local visitors.

This latter part of May has Belem now heading for Ouistreham, then Dunkirk where several days of celebrations and events known as “L’Escale à Dunkerque” await her. And then… Normandy! Rouen and the 6th “The Armada / Sails of Freedom” for ten whole days at the heart of France’s greatest and most beautiful maritime event. Our venerable three master will be joining some fifty vessels – tall ships, sailing ships, warships - from all over the world on June the 6th, unforgettable anniversary of the Normandy Landing of 1944. Millions of visitors are expected, several hundreds of whom will be welcomed aboard Belem from Friday June 7th to Saturday June 15th (Friday 14th excepted). Visits will be free, as is usual during the Armada. There will be games, marches, music, fireworks, races and to top it all, the grand finale i.e. the Grand Parade of all the ships down the Seine from Rouen to the sea. A magnificent spectacle for the thousands of spectators lining the banks of the great river. > Click here (en français)

 

And last but certainly not least, a word about Belem’s trip down memory lane to Venice next year. Things are taking shape: it is programmed for Easter and may well be followed by a journey along the coast of Croatia right down to Athens then Crete… Interesting, n’est ce pas? Stay tuned for further details soon…

    Where can I download the game? Some are defined as manipulating outdated guidelines in new
    ways, which any bender can do when taught how (earthbenders can't bend metal,
    but Toph discovers that they will bend earthen impurities in steel), but others still qualify as Wrong Context Magic:
    - Most bending includes heavy use of Supernatural Martial Arts,
    so it is noticable when someone is able to bend the weather with very minor and
    even no movement. Book 3 of The Legend of Korra options an evil team of
    benders, most of whom demonstrate "unsuitable context" abilities.
    The group developed the game's puzzles by first
    assuming the player was "their own worst enemy", and made puzzles as devious as doable, but then scaled again their
    issue or added visual and audible aids as if the participant
    was a buddy. Then the player to declarer's left leads to the first trick and play proceeds as in normal
    Bridge.

    Hi there just wanted to give you a brief heads up
    and let you know a few of the images aren't loading properly.
    I'm not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I've tried
    it in two different internet browsers and both show the same outcome.

    It's impressive that you are getting thoughts from this piece of writing
    as well as from our dialogue made at this place.

    If you're on Facebook and wish to expose your self to the Facebook gaming
    neighborhood then Facebook Gaming is one of the best Android
    app to stay stream your favourite games.
    For me, one of the best elements of the Switch is that I can exit and play unadulterated versions
    of the perfect games available on the market wherever I want.
    Yesterday, I was too busy to strive the attention Spy
    and my zero success fee with those did not inspire me to hurry out
    to attempt some that seemed cheap. You could be a squid
    that jets around on blasts of water, you may be a dwelling ball of fire that bounds in and out of scalding liquid, you might be a hammer
    brother or a fish from previous titles or, in one in every of my favorite moments of strangeness, you may simply
    be a zipper for a short moment. COD campaigns, other than providing solo players
    a handful of hours of explosive leisure, ground each recreation,
    help solidify their aesthetic and hammer house their tone.
    This is to not say that I expect a simulator recreation to play like a platformer, but relatively that it could help transferring round
    areas crammed with physics objects, just like the again of the truck.

    You don’t necessarily need enterprise-speed internet to be able to game seamlessly,
    but you do need a minimum of 15-20Mbps if you’re going to play games.
    This means which you could play some games immediately in compatible net browsers without downloading the archives to the local system
    first. This can also be true free of charge Internet
    games that are not essentially meant for enjoying on the internet however can fairly be put in on the desktop.
    Owning, actually owning, an iPhone in 2013 or 2017 would have meant having the ability to install a competing operating system with ongoing safety
    updates. So in this recreation, you've a catapult to launch the Gnome to
    the farthest area of the garden. These early impressions are unscored
    and rather less formal, and you will know precisely what we've completed and what we
    still must do before we're snug shifting on to the review in progress and even the ultimate review.
