Un grand texte et peut-être beaucoup de photos... j'ai eu de la difficulté à envoyer des photos la dernière fois et je ne suis pas sûre de ma connexion ce soir. On dirait bien que Flavie vient d'endormir Marc :0) 21 mai 2010 Journée de route, principalement. On a quitté Jervis Bay tôt, 8h15, notre record à date. C’était une belle journée mais fraîche et venteuse et c’était donc trop froid pour la baignade.
