This is fantastic news for the possible future of Le Papillon. Let’s see what the salvors do. I hope she goes to sea again.
I admit, I was a pessimist concerning the Papillon recovery, especially as days passed with no action. And my negative thinking only considered a salvage by sea. What a near-sighted dummy I was!
Cheers for the crew that pulled this naughty wayward lass across the sand and into the future.

Great news for Le Papillon. Hopefully a return to sea is in the salvors plans. I admit that I was pessimistic about Papillon’s chances, but some intrepid folks from Long Island showed true grit and hauled the naughty lass across the sands to safety.
Let’s hope her future includes many long safe voyages, God Bless Le Papillon!

in case you failed french class or never studied it, le papillon means “butterfly.” let’s hope this butterfly can return to cocoon stage and then after pupating once again, return as “super papillon.”

I was very sorry to read the report that said the hull was damaged. Double darn.
