I came to La Rochelle a few times to spend time with the sailing boats which are taking part of the Mini Transat 2019, a solo sailing race from La Rochelle (Metropolitan France) to Le Marin (Martinique, France) accross the Atlantic ocean.
The Minis are gathered in the same basin in La Rochelle with a beautiful mix of shapes and colors.
The departure was supposed to happen on Sunday Oct. 22nd but got delayed due to weather and sea conditions. The fleet is still waiting for a weather window as of now.
