Last stop before Arbeitslager Belgiën

Visiting a fellow nomad on a nice wave spot in the Vendée: no waves but a nice thermal wind in the afternoon
Perfect first taste of the 2nd hand 5.3m² I bought the same day,
meaning I have again three sails now.

A night in the fields and 900km later, I'm waiting for a friend on a highway parking near the town I was born.
As usual I look for the the quiet part to park.
But quiet corners aren't as quiet as they should be -given their name- , especially on highway parking lots, only a few miles away from a reputed 'cruising area'.
Clearly the cruising are has moved a few miles, so I got a shady and pretty nervous defilé of sportscars and bald men hungry for contact.
Typing these words on the laptop while playing aggressive metal on the car stereo -Pure FM's 'The Rock Show' 101.1- were the right signals to keep them at a distance.
But it seems they claimed the corner, at least at certain hours, because around elf thirthy, all cars -and the lorry- were gone
