Cassis

[Fr J Hackett]

It did wash my car a little...then the sand came back....you should see the boat...today the sky’s are starting to clear

Yup forecast for the next week seems clear but unseasonaly cool in the low 20°Cs

Tell Seacock to feck off back to Stoke and take the shite weather with him.

This type of dog is designed to be invisible on a sea grass beach and then attack you

Yeah! Lick you to bits....

Thanks for stirring up the memories! I hitch-hiked to Cassis from Glasgow in summer 1967, with girlfriend. We pitched my Blacks mountain tent on a small grassy site just above the town, found a small restaurant on a terrace run by a young couple who made us very welcome, and had a superb week.

I/we had an afternoon trip on a dive boat into one of the calanques. I'd taken a SSAC Second Class Diver training ( no big deal ) which permitted me to go down with a group to, oh, 30-40 feet where I was astonished by the bright light, the colours - and all the fish! I'd previously experienced the likes of Loch Long in February drizzle - cold, dank and fifty shades of grey! That calanque experience spoiled me for diving in UK waters forever....

The other memory stirred was the heady scent of Ambre Solaire on a well-tanned g/f.... and the beauties in bikinis. Town Beach at Ayr just didn't compete.

We are visiting a friend in Lucca in August (by car) and you have reminded me of a boat stop over we had there a decade or so ago.
We will make a nostalgic drop in on our way past.
My goodness! hotels are expensive on the coast in your part of the world.

Gorgeous place. I was there when I visited La Ciotat to look at a boat a few weeks back. Met up with a few boaters who were very keen to show me round theirs. Ate in La Vieille Auberge, delicious sardines and with a lovely view of the marina.
My planning for my French trip initially had me stopping at Port Napoleon then going west to Canal Du Midi but i think I will visit Cassis and others near there

We are heading that way when the weather falls off the Autumn cliff here. And again in March, for the multihull boat show at La Grande Motte. OH doesn’t know about that yet, but she’ll love it….

We’ll wave. Mrs C loves your dog. She’s in love with anything with fur and a tail mind you.

I am still trying to make a statement that will pass the mods t&Cs.

The Sahara sands left yesterday leaving a crystal clear sky…..last night’s dog walk…

You should tell your wife to lift her head and straighten her back.

She walks very straight and tall....she is trying to get away

Well that's understandable.

Thanks for the pix. Brings back great memories of life on the med.

Makes me realise there is a lovely world away from the Bristol channel!

Doesn’t mean that you don’t take Seastoke back

It's been all quiet on the Seacock front.

He’s still traveling....he left for Avignon

You didn't tell him where I live did you? that's less than 2 hours away

No....they were having a stressful time traveling as it was
