2021-02-20/21 : Paternoster. Seeing again the Atlantic Ocean after 15 months of separation (from Lobito in Angola). Two days in the rocks a few meters from the waves crashing on the granite. We could almost believe we are in Brittany but periwinkles still lack a little too much !! The waters of the Atlantic are cool, the wind too. Even in the heart of the southern summer.
