Wee video from late last year. Heading home from the islands with a little trim on the outdrive !
Not sure what kind of speed, but the doral camera boat was full throttle at just under 50 gps. The Wee chase likely mid 60’s and 3 on board. Can’t wait for the season.

Today was unusual. Yesterday was storm force winds (50mph) and tomorrow’s forecast is more of the same. But today was calm, especially this morning so I decided to exercise the boat engine (only 16 knots top speed, gulp!) still nice to be on the water on such a beautiful day. Some of you expressed an interest in my photos of the Plage d’Estagnol so I took some more
By the way is anyone going to the La Ciotat boat show (also known as the Marseille boat show)?

Woke up on Sunday morning, after a fresh mackerel supper on Saturday night.

I’m still searching the computer banks..... but as I recall, it’s busy, very busy but not as busy as the Porquerolles but as you know it’s not the anchored boats that are the problem but the passing boats (unless you know anyone who can fit stabilizers). Most boat traffic is in the day, especially lunch time, overnight it’s usually quiet. The beaches with car parking are the busiest for beach goers but I’ve never not got a table at a beach restaurant.

Vas, this is all I can find, unfortunately it’s only Porquerolles (Plage la Courtade) a few summers ago

interesting,

in our waters it is considered fully packed to be in more than one row parallel to the shore (and just drive off somewhere else)
Do ppl usually swim around their own boat, or do they go to the beach swimming carefully not to be hit by various pwc?

Definitely too crowded for me.

At the height of the season I call it boat soup. So rocky from passing boats that I fell into the water once while trying to get into the dingy. But that’s nothing compared to the amount of day trippers coming off the ferries! But I love it and can’t keep away
The French have no sense of safety, so swimmers and boaters meet with often near misses

On our local beaches, at the beginning of winter the council bulldozes the sand into sand dunes. Dogs love running up them and flying down the other side

 

[vas]

is that to avoid having all the sand washed out during the winter storms?

and my children!

I’ve always assumed so but after a blustery winter the dunes diminish alot:ambivalence:

 

[Bouba]

and my children!

Children on beaches bah humbug!
Once I was walking on a beach with my very assertive dog. These children had built an enormous sand castle, so my dog climbs to the top and pees on it (king of the castle). The parents were not only horrified they were English! So I pulled my best French face and carried on walking, quickly
