Made it to the Med

June 23, 2019

On June 23 we traveled through our last lock and entered the Mediterranean at Port St. Louis. Our first task was to get the mast stepped at Port Napoleon so Chinook could become a sailboat again.

The heatwave in France was getting intense so we were looking forward to the clear waters of the Mediterranean for some relief.

Several days were spent in 45 degree heat getting the mast prepped and stepped. On June 27, Chinook was ready to set sail!

We traveled east along the southern coast of France enjoying our first anchorage in Saintes-Maries. We stopped at Port Camargue where we cycled into Aigues-Mortes before arriving at our final destination La Grande Motte.
