Current Goal

Le but du Petit Mousse n'est autre que de sillonner les océans bien sûr ! Il faut lui faire longer les côtes, visiter les ports et les iles, ne l'emmenez pas trop longtemps dans les terres car si non il risque de tomber dans la dépression... Son rêve est de faire le tour du monde comme Magellan (mais de revenir), aller dans Îles Britanniques en doublant tous les bateaux anglais comme Tabarly, traverser l'Atlantique comme Erik le Rouge et Jacques Cartier, découvrir le Pacifique comme James Cook ! Toujours ravi de tester d'étranges breuvages en terres inconnues, de découvrir de nouveaux paysages et passer de nouveaux caps, il appréciera aussi, de temps à autres, de rentrer dans sa chère Bretagne natale et plus particulièrement dans le Morbihan, afin pour se ressourcer.

Comme tout bon marin, il tient un journal de bord qu'il faudra compléter  pour raconter ses périples quand vient la pause entre deux navigations, merci de jouer le jeu... Polyglotte, le Petit Mousse peut écrire en français, en anglais, les deux en même temps voire s'essayer à d'autres langues !

The goal of the Little Sailor is nothing else than sail the oceans of course! He need to follow the coast lines, visit harbours and islands, please do not take him inland for a long time or he will have a breakdown again... His dream is to go around the world like Magellan (but come back), go around the British Islands beating at speed the english ships like Tabarly, cross the Atlantic like Erik the Red or Jacques Cartier. Always happy to try strange beverages in unknown lands, to discover new landscapes and cross new cape, he will also enjoy sometime to head home to dear old Brittany, especialy the Morbihan where he was born, to rest a bit.

Like every decent seafarer, he hold a log book that need to be filed with his navigation stories when the time to rest finally comes... He can talk in french, english or even try other languages, no problem with that!

About This Item

Petit Mousse au Cairn de Petit Mont à Arzon

Le Petit Mousse est à l'origine la poignée d'un tire bouchon provenant du Bro Gwened (du "Pays de Vannes" en breton)... Il en a ouvert des bouteilles ! Après avoir passé de nombreux jours en mer, le pécheur s'est arrêté de travailler et comme beaucoup de petites gens de la côte dans les temps anciens, il s'est laissé aller à la mélancolie... Réalisant son embonpoint et se lassant de la vie de terrien, le Petit Mousse a décidé de reprendre du service ! Il a pris sa dernière bouteille d'alcool de pomme, est monté sur le premier bateau qui avait besoin de marin, a hissé le Kroaz Du (la "Croix Noire", le pavillon des bateaux de Bretagne) et a commencé à chanter :

"Je r’viendrai bro gwened
Voir tes vannetaises
Je r’viendrai beau pays
Voir tes filles jolies"

The Little Sailor is an ancient handle of a bottle opener from the Bro Gwened (the country of Vannes in the language of Brittany, a country West of France)... He did open many bottles! After days at sea, the fisherman stopped his work and like many poor people of the coast in the old days he felt prey to melancholy... Realising his overweight and getting tired of the land life, the Little Seaman decieded to go back in business! He took he last bottle of apple alcohol, he jumped on the first ship who needed a sailor, he hoisted the Kroaz Du (the "Black Cross", Brittany's sailing flag) and he started to sing: ↑
