Today we went to the
the second of the Iles D'Hyeres - Ile Port-Cros. With 10/13knots of wind and
calm seas we had a lovely sail for the 8 mile trip. It is now warm enough that
shorts and teashirt is all that is needed first thing in the morning and for
sailing.
Port Cros is a
small cove with a number of mooring buoys laid out - free too - with a few
houses and restaurants and that is it.
A lovely spot -
Being a bank holiday weekend it was quite busy and luckily we got a buoy as many
others had to drop their anchor just outside the bay. Again I dread to
think of how crowded this would be mid summer.
The water is warming
up, just over 18 degrees - so rather like the UK in August. A few people were
swimming but I need a couple more degrees before I venture
in.
