We moved on from Cary le Rouet to the island Marina of Frioul (All of 6 miles). This Marina/Island is just off Marsailles town, of which we have a great view. The Island is very rugged and other than the marina and a few appartments around the marina is uninhabited. We spent a few hours anchored in on of the bays around the island and had a nice swim & lunch etc.
 
The weather at present is dead calm and pretty hot so not much sailing even if one wanted.
 
We will stay here two nights as today is a bank holiday and is expected to be busy, so moving marinas might not be easy - squatters rights being the safer option. Hopefully the French will start to go home next week and hopefully it should be much quieter from the 21st.
 
We will leave visiting Marsailles itself until Kathryn is with us.
