Mediterranean, 

Shmediterreanan,

Dead-iterranean

22nd June to 30th July

1. Port Saint Louis du Rhone to 2. VilleFranche and back again

In the words of Julius Cesaer, a well known Mediterran-ophile 

‘Devenimus, voluti, discessimus’ 

(We arrived, we rolled, we left)

Our first sight of the Med outside Port Saint Louis du Rhone. Those masts are not where they should be………….

Whilst in Toulon Mark worked happily on installing the black water tank (the pooh tank) we’ve carted around in the engine room since 2018.  

As strong winds were predicted I went to noice Nice to see the Matisse museum and the Chagall museum. 

Flemmo friends Mick and Megan came to play and stay on board from Toulon to Villefranche-sur-mer.

Man, it was hot, hot, hot. We were in the grip of an extreme heat wave with no temps under 23 at night and a hot and humid 33 (minimum) every day. Luckily we were at anchor most of the time so a cooling swim helped. 

The anchorage at Île de Porquerolles was very calm and beautiful. The island is a holiday destination and is covered in eucalypts making us quite homesick. 

On July 14 all of France collaborated to celebrate Mark’s birthday. We were anchored off the coast of Cannes at the Lérin Islands between Ile Sainte-Marguerite (where the Man in the Iron Mask languished) and Ile Saint-Honorat with about 20,000 of our closest boating friends. Slight exaggeration…..as you can see there is plenty of room for more boats to slot in.

As part of celebration central you could choose a visit from the pizza boat, the champagne and wine boat or the mojito boat.

Megan chose the very popular mojito boat.

The lovely young man tied alongside to create four extra large mojitos, yum, yum. 

And he even gave us extra ice. 

(Strangely there’s not an ice making machine on the shelves in France to be seen.)

Of course there were fireworks for Mark’s birthday. 

And again the next night. 

To get away from the incessant rolling in the Med mostly caused by way too many speed boats, motor boats, enormous tenders and super yachts we spent a couple of nights in the lovely port of Golfe Juan. It was super hot but the port had a/c in the bathrooms, unlimited water in the shower and free (for plaisanciers) chilled sparkling or flat water. OMG! Heaven on a stick, or, in a bottle.

5 minutes up the hill is the ceramic town of Vallauris in which Picasso lived for 7 years. Vallauris has been a ceramics town for 2000 years and its ceramic experts enabled Picasso to create over 4000 clay objects.

You can say what you like about Picasso but he was nothing if not prolific and his clay artworks in the Museum of Ceramics were wonderful, irrepressible and delightful.

We anchored off Antibes, very much the holiday town, and were surrounded by all these little ducklings.

Mick and Megan left us in the Lorne of Nice: Villefranche-sur-mer to return to wintery Melbourne.

We turned out bows west to leave behind the hedonistic fleshpots of the Mediterranean in summer.

Pausing only to take advantage of the pizza boat (a mighty YUM!) between those islands out of Cannes. Resisted the mojitos this time.

There was so much watery wealth on display. So much of it ugly and tasteless. Often complete with a 20m tender and a helipad, sometimes two. 

This is a beautiful boat.

And so is this…..

This modern super yacht (110m) has nice enough lines.

Elegant? I think not.

World Explorer is 77m of pure fugly. And don’t get me started on the festering scab of jet skis.

Baie des Canebiers is a glorious bay just out of Saint Tropez. It’s an excellent anchorage for both big and little boats.  It’s very rolly in the morning as everyone speeds out to wherever they’re going, settles a little for lunch, and rolls around like crazy as they all come back in at the end of the day. Just as the sea settles and the sun sets and you don’t have to hang onto your glass of wine for fear of it ending up overboard and all is peaceful the music starts.

At one point ‘doof doof doofy’ music was belching from three separate locations: a catamaran anchored too close to us and two houses at either end of the bay. 

Seriously….

Seriously selfish as one of the party locations played their ‘music’ until 7.30am.

And we were stuck in this ‘playground of the rich and beautiful’ for four nights because the westerly headwinds would not change direction.

We motor sailed to Toulon where real people have boats and onto Port Miou, a calanque just outside Cassis. It is a glorious place where you tie the stern to the cliff and pick up a mooring ball and watch the young men jump 10m, 20m or even 30m into the harbour. 

Another reason for abandoning the hot, salty, overcrowded and selfish Mediterranean is poor old ‘Le Flâneur’ needs some serious love and attention. She already is showing too much rust on various deck parts and a salty environment is only going to make it worse. 

Her hull and topsides need new paint. The best place to do these major renovations is La Pays Bas, The Netherlands, Holland. 

Or maybe Poland.

So north we go. 

Flaneuring all the way.

Grands requins blancs : combien y en a-t-il en Méditerranée ?

Un grand requin blanc a été filmé par un pêcheur en novembre au large de Porquerolles, dans le Var. Mais une récente étude scientifique montre à quel point cette espèce de squale est difficile à observer en Méditerranée.

les trois îles sont :

-l'île de Porquerolles The island of Porquerolles is the largest and westernmost of the three islands of Hyères with its 12.54 km² area. It is located 2.6 km south-east of the Fondue tower, the southern end of the Giens peninsula, and 9.6 km west of the island of Port-Cros.

l'île de Port-Cros

The island of Port-Cros, National Park is 30 minutes by boat from Le Lavandou. It can only be discovered on foot.

With its 30 km of marked trails, this island will amaze you. But on condition of knowing how to make stops and let yourself be overwhelmed by its natural beauty.

To discover First of all, it is advisable to bring walking shoes. A large part of the trails is impassable with a stroller, plan a baby carrier.

Also plan enough water and food before venturing on this island. Because outside the village, you will not find a restaurant or a bar.

and the nudist island of the Levant The Ile du Levant is the easternmost part of the French commune of Hyères, a commune in the Var department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. This Mediterranean island, the easternmost of the archipelago of the Hyères islands, faces the Massif des Maures off the communes of Bormes-les-Mimosas and Le Lavandou, from where the majority of services are provided.

The first writings consider the archipelago as a whole without making any specific part to the island. It plays an essential role for especially coastal navigation. The Ile du Levant has a farot in the central Middle Ages and then a lighthouse at the beginning of the 19th century, which marks the eastern entrance to the harbor of Hyères offshore. The semaphore from the same era, now disused, is also used for signals.

The lack of a water source and a continuous human presence oppose the development of agriculture. The changes in the toponym of the island — it is not a question of a gradual evolution — testify to this discontinuity. The first known occupants were monks in the 5th and then in the 12th century. In the 19th century, a penal colony was founded. Finally, in 1931, naturism was established on the civil domain voluntarily away from any external influence. This very innovative approach to its creation, and which remains rustic, then experienced other developments of the same or different nature in France. The summer tourist frequentation, on this private property open to the public, known as the naturist domain of Heliopolis, depends on this way of life.

Comment préparer se croisière en voilier ou bateau à moteur?

Prendre la mer ne se fait pas sans préparation. Cette préparation passe par 3 points: - La préparation de la navigation - La préparation du bateau - La préparation de l'équipage Vous trouverez, sur le site, une page complète pour réussir votre croisière et votre navigation. Pour résumer, les trois points ci-dessus sont primordiales. Préparer sa navigation En effet, commençons par la navigation. La navigation s'anticipe. Prévoir des escales, ou des mouillages, ne se fait pas sans anticiper votre environnement. Cet environnement passe par la météo, bien évidemment, mais aussi les marées, par exemple. Ces deux points vont conditionner votre programme. Et cela se prévoit avant de partir.

Préparer son bateau L'autre point important d'une croisière est la préparation du bateau. Et ce point concerne autant les propriétaires que les locataires de bateau. Il parait évident qu'un plaisancier, propriétaire de son bateau, se doit en tant que chef de bord, s'assurer que le bateau est en état de naviguer. Mais au delà, il doit aussi vérifier que l'ensemble de l'équipement de sécurité est en état de fonctionner. Et ce qui est vrai pour le plaisancier propriétaire l'est tout autant pour un locataire. Si le loueur d'un bateau est responsable de son été, juridiquement, le chef de bord est responsable de sa navigation. Préparer l'équipage Enfin, la préparation d'une croisière passe aussi par la préparation de l'équipage. Les membres de l'équipage doivent savoir comment va s'organiser la croisière, mais aussi le bateau. Qui fera quoi et quand? C'est important pour organiser les quarts, ou, tout simplement, faire en sorte que personne ne se marche dessus. Mais en plus de l'organisation du bateau, le chef de bord doit faire en sorte que la navigation soit adaptée à chaque membre d'équipage, surtout avec des enfants, par exemple.
