We spent an unforgettable morning’s fishing with the team from L’Échappée Nautique. On 14 August at 8 am, my partner, our 9- and 12-year-old children and I set off with ‘Dan’, a recently retired fishing skipper, aboard a RIB. The morning mist shrouded the sea. After just a few minutes out at sea, my daughter was already reeling in her first mackerel. Dan shared his experience and expertise with passion and great humility. He guided us kindly throughout the fishing trip. A few minutes later, the mist cleared. “Come on, let’s go and see the dolphins,” and a few moments later we’re sailing alongside four dolphins swimming beside us. “We’re in their home,” Dan tells us. The sea doesn’t belong to us; it’s a gift from nature. After a good three hours at sea, we return to the boathouse and share a drink with the other crews and sailors from the morning’s trip. A very pleasant moment of camaraderie and a return to dry land.
We’d never been fishing before, and this adventure was quite simply exceptional. An experience we highly recommend!
