    We're off!

    April 23, 2023 in France ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    After waiting a week for packages, it turned out 1 hadn't been sent and the other was stuck in a FedEx warehouse 😡! We decided to set off. The sun was shining and the wind was light so off we went with our dinghy towing behind. The Golfe de Fos is a large industrial gulf with freighters anchored on one side and on the other, mussel farms and shellfish cages. We sailed out to the Mediterranean to a little cove, Anse du Verdon, where we anchored mid afternoon. The beach was filled with people swimming (sea water temp 19C! 🥶) and paddling and walking along the limestone rocky fjord. 2 other boats were anchored but left late afternoon. Perhaps it was a sign we should have followed! We were protected from the increasing wind💨 but not from the swell. We had dinner and we were rewarded with a beautiful evening sky and its reflected colours. The clear night was full of 🌟 with a crescent 🌙 as we rocked, rolled and swung around our anchor! 😬😖🥱Read more
