Over the past month I had been searching the French Yahoo for info on Le Clem. Found my sister's French Dictionary/ Translation, found that to be slow so done a search for an online translator and found this:
http://www.french-linguistics.co.uk/translate/
Which has worked a gem with the various French articles, by copying and paste.

I wonder how many people will be watching the Brest webcam tomorrow.

The Clem leaves today or tomorrow. The articles in the newspapers are here:

I do not have time to translate, because I have to go to my spot and although I have only 5 Km to join him, the roads are icy and snowy.

Another webcam that gives overview of the naval base, the bay and the mouth.
