What are you do-ink? Making Dinner! (What does it look like? LOL) Guy—one of our QBE skippers)—shows off his beautifully accented English while capturing a few seconds of supper prep in Marie Claude's galley. It's our own "Below Deck!"

QBE July 2022 Expedition Update—Brest

The crew on Marie Claude this week

Last night we were in the Aber Wrac’h, a small village and harbor on the river Wrac’h. Today we’re in Brest, the historic port city at the tip of the Breton peninsula where we’re looking forward to a visit to Océanopolis, one of Europe’s most impressive aquariums and largest oceanographic research centers. Tomorrow night, we’ll have a great view of the city’s spectacular Bastille Day fireworks display before moving on. QBE expeditions are always about a lot more than just sailing—they’re a template for what summer “worldschooling” courses can be.


Here’s a short video trailer for Océanopolis. It’s in French, but even if you can’t read the titles, you’ll get a good feel for what the aquarium has to offer. The trailer is just 80 seconds long.
