Thursday 15th of August. Moored off L'Herbe. Arcachon Basin.

No marinas near here, after a brief walk around town and an ice cream with Margaux yesterday I anchored well offshore.
Very responsibly wearing a lifejacket.
Sunrise at anchor.
Collected Margaux in the dinghy and we're off for a two day cruise around the Bassin.
The whole of the shore is completely taken up with boats and moorings and nowhere to safely anchor, we've taken a free mooring but now have to stay with the boat in case the owner returns.
Its a lovely spot. Today is a holiday in France and it looks like they're setting up a fireworks display from a nearby boat.

    Stunning sunset there! Lovely to have Margaux join you for a cruise. Are you playing lots of scrabble in the evenings? (memories of Scotland)

      I'm afraid we're both too busy on our phones.

At last I am off the anchor and in Seville proper. I should have read the book more carefully, this is not Holland, they only open the bridge to get in and out once every other day. And the book said that they always have space here but from what I can see I was lucky to get a booking, I can't see any other free spaces and I am wedged between two gin palaces, moored for and aft, Mediterranean style. First thing tomorrow,  shower, get mosquito nets then meet Margaux at the airport.
