SAS MENDI IN BREST

The SAS Mendi arrived at the French naval harbour of Brest on 24 August. The coastline of France was a pleasant sight for the crew earlier that morning. The unpleasant weather during the night reminded of a typical winter's day in the Cape - cold, cloudy and windy.

The ship will be alongside Brest from 24 August until 27 August, when she will slip and proceed to the Spanish Naval Base in Rota.
