Galway - Lorient twinning cruise arrives at the French Port on Saturday

Irish flags are flying during last Saturday's final short hop across in Galway Sailing's Cruise to Lorient.

The photo taken from the citadel at the entrance to Lorient Harbour shows some of the 25-boat flotilla from the west of Ireland on the Galway - Lorient twinning cruise before being hosted by the Deputy Mayor at City Hall.

The leading boats pictured were Trilogy, skippered by Jeangab Zamsun of Lorient and Lean Machine, skippered by Cormac Mac Donncha of Galway.
