Jolie Brise is a gaff-rigged pilot cutter built and launched by the Albert Paumelle Yard in Le Havre in 1913 to a design by Alexandre Pâris. After a short career as a pilot boat, owing to steam replacing sail, she became a fishing boat, a racing yacht and a sail training vessel.

Martin, purchased her in 1928. After competing in the Fastnet, Bermuda and Santander races he sold her four years later to Lt. John Gage RNR. His ownership was only for a year and it seems that in 1934 she was purchased by an American, Mr Stanley Mortimer. Alterations, mostly to the living accommodation were made at a yard in Palma, Majorca and a Gardner diesel was fitted in Marseilles. After cruising the Mediterranean Sea, and with war in the offing Jolie Brise returned to Southampton and was put up for sale. She was bought by William Stannard but requisitioned by the Royal Navy who laid her up on a mud berth at Shoreham for the duration of the war. In 1945 she was bought by a syndicate headed by Lillian and Jim Worsdell and her name was changed to Pleasant Breeze. A voyage to New Zealand was aborted and when she put into Lisbon she was acquired by a Portuguese syndicate headed by Luis Lobato. Repaired and refitted, she was once again listed as Jolie Brise. For nearly 30 years her home port remained Lisbon but in 1975, partly because of the political situation in Portugal, she returned to the Solent, 50 years after her first Fastnet win.

In 1977 she was bought by the Dauntsey's School to serve as the flagship of its sailing club.

Jolie Brise was one of a number of prestigious vessels to be moored along the route of the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant, to celebrate the diamond jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. Due to her size, she was not part of the flotilla of vessels, and was instead moored with other vessels at St Katharine Docks.

The boat is currently skippered by Toby Marris, and has the capacity to carry up to eight students ages 14 and over for local and international cruising and racing trips.

The leaves of the mistletoe have fallen to the ground under one of the mistletoe plants growing on the Marri tree (Corymbia calophylla).

The leaves of mistletoe often mimic the leaves of the tree it is growing on.

Boda Sandra y Jaume by Esther Briongos

El año pasado fue mi querida prima y este el de mi mejor amiga, Sandra (las primeras en casarse de mi entorno).

Fue una boda muy emotiva y en un lugar precioso, La Garriga de Castelladral.

En la imagen, haciendo un ritual: la sal que colores les representa a ellos, que se juntan en un bote; nunca más podrá separarse la sal de color, pero tampoco se fundirán en uno solo
