Bastille Cruise 2026

Members and friends celebrated Bastille Day aboard the Adironak, sailing around the Hudson Bay and the Statue of Liberty while singing La Marseillaise, lead by Francis Dubois. We are very grateful to Hilary J James for organizing this successful, sold-out event and Michel Mahin for co-hosting. View more photos here. We thank Cole McManus for his brilliant photos and video.

 

“I heartily echo the sentiments of everyone who enjoyed the magnificent post-Bastille cruise on Friday. How fortunate we were to have the weather gods smiling down on us. Hilary and Philip, you did an amazing and much admired and appreciated job of organizing the event – merci mille fois! Francis, your wonderful humor and patriotism in leading us in La Marseillaise is priceless – merci et bravo!

The best part was meeting so many new friends who share a certain passion – for that I am most grateful. I look forward to autumn and upcoming events and wish everyone a terrific summer. A la prochaine!

Amitiés,
Linda Zagaria”
