Le Ciotat

Hello again everyone well the trip from Toulon was almost uneventful, except for apparently ending up in in a shooting and being told to head out from the coast at 90degs for 5km by a little boat and the shooting range facility. We thought 5km offshore was a bit excessive and there was nothing marked on either the paper chart, the electronic chart or the Navionics program. Anyway once we were 3km offshore the little turned away so we headed across to the headland rather than any further as it was rough enough already. Ciotat shipyards used to be famous for building tankers but they are now the home to super super yachts. This evening we checked AIS and there are 4 yachts over 100m long and lots of smaller super yachts. Today we visited a local market for our perishables before... yes you guessed another walk. We went to the park behind the yards with stunning rock formations and what we think were manor grounds that are slowly being restored. Then a Menu de Jour before cycling to the local hypermarket. We needed a new kettle our was taking a lot longer to boil than it should have a leaked every time it was poured.En savoir plus
