Normandy: Underwater Obstacles And Other Surprises - Ep. 104 Thula Sailing

Unexpectedly breathtaking landscapes. Another sill locking us into a mainland Normandy harbor whilst in the harbor entrance all the water is gone. Boats lay aground, tipped to the side. Will we ever get used to this and let our nerves relax a bit? Probably not. By coincidence we stumble over a famous footpath, the Sentier des Douaniers - monitoring the coast for smugglers and enemies. History lesson memories pop back up with terms like d-day 1944, Normandy beach landings, young men fighting for peace and freedom. Making our way around the current-rich Cap de la Hague, Cherbourg then serves as a weather escape because of a strong low pressure system pressing into the English channel. We explore the city, coming across an inseparable French friend manufactured here for unsettled weather - the top-of-the-range umbrella sold all over the world. This high-performance umbrella is even used as protection by the French president. Find out how and enjoy!
