    Three on a SUP

    July 19, 2021 in France ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    Ronan and I have our first sea swim of the trip. After second brekkie, we move to the most popular anchorage; Le Chambre. The water is pretty shallow so we have to go in at high water and pick a spot deep enough that we don’t find them bottom at low water. We launch the paddle board and 3 of the 4 of us go in to the beach. Ronan comes back out to collect me as he says the beach is not to be missed. There is a thin strip of sand that joins two islands. At high tide it is covered over with water and it is a magical place to swim and play. The day is so hot it’s the perfect spot to be. Ruby and Colm have a great time playing with the translucent jellyfish- they are all shapes and sizes and don’t sting so what’s not to love.
    Later when we return to the boat on the SUP we discover that the floor of our new dingy has burst and punctured in the heat.
