We are now in Marseille. Well actually anchored by a small island out from the city. It has turned very cold here. We have gone from togs and nothing else to long trousers and sweatshirts. And the sea has become very cold, down from 26 to about 17 degrees. No swimming for us. This is the old harbour at La Ciotat which is about half way between Toulon and Marseille. We stopped there for a night, a very pretty seaside town. This is an old prison island outside Marseille which was the setting for the novel The Count of Monte Cristo. These islands are amazing. So remote feeling yet only a mile or two from the city. They used to be military so there are lots of old forts etc to explore. Our home for tonight. There are lots of little bays around the islands so lots of room for anchoring.
