Baie de Saint-Mandrier

We had hoped to be in Toulon but no room, or so we were told, so we are in Les Mandrier Marina which is across the bay, there are some dead boats here that are used by the Naval dive school for training and a boat yard for very large plastic fantastics. Le Mandrier is OK but as with everywhere smaller, out of season it’s a bit quiet. Ferry to Toulon tomorrow, though apparently ‘the boat is too small to be a ferry in French it is only a shuttle’. We have sent some more emails to try to firm up the removal storage and transportation on the masts ready for next year and to request a postal address for our overwintering location. We plan to spend, well the boat does we haven’t decided yet depends how lively and cold/wet it is, the winter in Port St Louis de Rhône so not far to go now. Only other big port on the way is Marseille. Thats everything for now be in touch soon. Don’t forget to let us know what you are all up too.Read more
