SAILING into the FIRST city in FRANCE

What a TREAT! Sailing into MARSEILLE the oldest city in France after a sleepless night at anchor on a boat that rocks. Sailed from Port-Saint-Louis via CARRY-le-ROUET and Calanque Mejean, attempting to sail off the anchor avoiding damage to Poseidon Grass. Explore the modern city with ancient links. Despite good progress eastwards, we have to make way BACK to Port Napoleon going in the wrong direction for our Long Way East Adventure.

Been through Marseille airport many times but never been to the city, will have to remedy that!
BTW: Could you not buy an unlocked iPhone in France rathe than go through all that grief?

[@sailingoptions]

Yes probably, but we really didn’t expect it to take soooo long to arrive 😳
Put Marseille on your list 👍
