La Malouine is back 'where she belongs' 

A French tall ship which beached in Ramsey Bay last month is back in the sea. 

La Malouine has refloated after being stuck on an Island beach for a number of weeks. 

The brigantine ship appeared in April after being caught out by easterly winds and ended up in the sands between Queen's Pier and the Arches.

The crew posted on social media last night that the vessel was 'no longer grounded' and back 'where she belongs'. 

They add La Malouine will now make its way down to Douglas.
