Monday 22 June So rolly not really sleeping, so depart 0530 for Sete, and Canal du midi Sally arrives 15NM

Upanchor 0530 with first light, brisk fetch for 20mins then fades so motor SW just off coats to large fishing port of Sete. East entrance, keeping close to breakwater as large ferries berthing. Radio yacht club and directed to berth 0930. V friendly and helpful staff, but can`t get mast down till tomorrow. Sally arrives. Customs arrive in rib and want to see all papers. Chris up mast to get strop between spreaders ready for dematage tomorrow.  Many interesting deepsea trawlers race in and get catch ashore at market before rafting up further in. Eat ashore –yummy, bit touristy.
