Sailrite Sewing Machine

So I went to collect our pizzas on my e-scooter. But I couldn’t balance the pizza boxes on my lap and I ended up doing the biggest wheelie anyone has ever seen, the scooter was at 90 degrees, straight up in the air! Which meant my pizzas went vertical ? and all the toppings slid off into a big pile in the box? still, it tasted good?‍♂️????

No - thats "Gold Dot Bay"
An old forum haunt.

Originally named "Red Dot Bay" by JFM when he was explaining where it was.
He marked some coloured dots on a satellite overlaid chart that I posted.
This was the chart.

Soon after, a couple of boats from Sant Carles did an early season cruise round the South of France and Corsica.
JW was one of the two and Red Dot bay was our first stop after crossing the Gulf of Lyon.
It was so nice when we arrived that we renamed it "Gold Dot Bay"

And I finally found a good way to search the old threads in this forum - the forum software itself is rubbish but Google does a great job.
Here is a link to my old thread/report that I wrote up after returning from that long cruise.
It should bring back some memories.

A long cruise - Spain - France - Corsica - loads of photos

The Red Dot is the Plage de Nôtre Dame. I’ll probably walk past it during a dog walk this week. It’s a truly stunning place but it’s far from town if you’re anchoring

I was intrigued by the press studs as well. I guess the part on the tubes is glued on somehow.

The only thing I made for the dinghy ( a 2.6m RIB) last summer was a sun cover... It was actually patterned to fit the dinghy in a right way up position on the foredeck (with a small umbrella shaped support on the seat). Made that way it also fits whilst dinghy stored on the snap davits.

Looks great. The snads have a 3m super sticky backing..
 
This afternoon’s rugged dog walk, the Plage de Nôtre Dame aka Red Dot Bay aka Gold Dot Bay

first a glimpse......


then the glory......
 
Looks really nice, its only about 30nm away from where I first had the desire to buy a boat, walking through Port Grimaud with SWMBO and kids, around 1982 IIRC. Saw some lovely boats on hot summers day, looked just great....! Must go back there one day!
