Vidourle

We are now at the entrance to the Canal Maritime anchored off the yacht club in Grau du Roi.
At lunchtime today we made our way slowly across from Port Camargue, a huge but quite pleasant marina, to the mouth of the river Vidourle. We went slowly because we were a bit early for the bridge, Pont Tournant, opening at 12:30 and had to wait. We went past the swing bridge and then the fishing port and turning to port/left we entered into a small lake and the start of the River Vidourle. We can’t take the river further inland as it’s only for vessels of less than 1m draft. Tomorrow morning we go back onto the Canal Maritime under the Pont Levant, the second bridge and up to Aigues-Mortes the journey should last about 30 mins it’s only about 2.8 miles. If everything goes to plan we won’t be out on the open water/sea again until July!Läs mer
