Not too bad a day on the Côte d’Azur

[mcanderson]

Public holiday here and boating appears to be popular!



No arguments seen at all.

Is that Isle Marguerite that you are standing on ?

 

[mcanderson]

Ille Saint Honorat. Our dog needs his walks.

 

[Portofino]

We are on the other side .
Just been to shore for a dog comfort break .
First pic is the fairway where the tragic accident too place last W/E .
Also dog life jacket - topical on the other thread
I tried posting direct the pics but it wouldn’t let me do .

Seems the sunpad is owned by fluffy ball.

That is the smaller of the two with the monastery. Have you tried their wine?

 

[mcanderson]

L,

Sorry to have missed you. We are back in Beaulieu now. St Trop was great.

Wakeup,

Yes it is, but we haven’t tried the wine. You can buy it from the monastery.

Jeez reminds me why I dont drop anchor over that side and always use the other side where there always seems to be more space. Why do boaters flock to this side? Did you eat at the (not very good) restaurant, buy overpriced tat from the monastery souvenir shop and climb the tower?

 

[mcanderson]

Mike, it was much of a much ness and so we saw a space and grabbed it. We were back more towards La Tonnelle, but we didn’t eat there. We had some veal cutlets that we bought in St Tropez at the butchers up near the town square. Grilled on the deck grill with salad and grilled yellow courgettes. His stuff is wonderful and well worth a visit if you are in St Trop.

Yet to buy tat on the island - how do you know when you claim to have never set foot on the islands! Mr George needed a walk for the obvious.

My mates made me walk around the island on our annual boys boat trip last September And actually I have eaten at the restaurant a few times but thats not really setting foot!

Wines overpriced and rubbish from the monks .
How ever guests and are overwhelmingly impressed by a day trip and walk about with a coffee at the restaurant.
For the benefit of those none CdA

We had visitors so took them out on the water but were chased down by a lot of mad yotties

You can say that again.
That's a landscape I'm also used to see around me.
Once a year, on June 29th, when a boat procession takes place in the harbour, to celebrate the Saint Patron of the village.
For all the other days of the year, bar none, I can enjoy decent boating - thanks God!

Anchored in Agay today, only 7nm from Lerins but lots of peace and quiet

We've dropped the hook several times in there. From the chart it looks like it should be a good anchorage but we've always experienced a swell pushing into the bay especially in the late afternoon, which has made me think twice about staying overnight

Not too bad at the E end between the Lérins today

 

[Portofino]

But to other end towards the W paints a different pic .

We anchor here a lot. I think most of the swell is from large boats thundering past half a mile or so offshore. By early evening it dies down. 5.30pm now and oily calm

A sort of mimi Pampelone , sand beach restaurants etc @ mini prices and mini diesel fuel consumption.

There’s a marina to tender in with more eating potential.
