Getting to the source of Evian water & storm sailing

Visiting the town of Evian-les-Bains where the world famous water comes from is how this episode begins after a restful night at the marina. We'll go and see tourists in line to fill up their bottles from the public fountain where the water flows freely then head off along the mountainous Alpine coast.

The day starts off hot and calm, then ends with a surprise thunderstorm which is common on Lac Léman and all part of sailing on Lake Geneva. I finish the day in le Bouveret at the other end of the lake more than 70 km. from Geneva under somewhat stressful storm conditions. Almost at the end of my journey, I find shelter from the elements and spend my last night on the little Sansonnet.
