For the first time all week, I think I was the first one awake, but David got moving first, going to the patisserie and bringing back baguettes. We all had the baguettes for breakfast and then we took a walk into town to buy a few more items. We left the town at about 10:30 and headed to the next small town, Portiragnes. Although we’ve done dozens of locks, this morning, we did a poor job, but got it done anyway. We wandered into the town and found three or four vendors selling fruits, vegetables, salamis and chickens on the street. But since it’s our last day, we didn’t need to buy anything. We did decide to have lunch and we found this cute place with an outdoor terrace and shared salads and pizza. After the meal, the waiter came over and was talking with us for a while. His name was Jean Pierre and he was a windsurfer and bicyclist. The restaurant was right next to the church, and this being Sunday, they were having services. While we ate, they let out. After lunch, we took a peek into the church but it wasn’t particularly special.

Back on the boat, we took off for our final destination, Port Cassafieres. We had only one lock to go through and then we were there. We docked just outside their marina where we thought it would be quieter. Then we checked in with them. We were only a 15 minute walk from the Mediterranean Sea, so off we went to the beach. The water was a little cool but the sun was warm and delightful! We sat for a while, then went for a walk on the beach, gathering shells. Later, we all lay down on our towels and fell asleep! We walked back to the boat to start cleaning and packing. A man from LeBoat told us where we'd docked wasn't a good spot, so he had us move.

Then we went to dinner at the only restaurant there - this is not actually a town, but only a Le Boat base. Two of us ordered appetizers, which they brought first. Then they brought the entrees for the other two people. After they finished their entrees, then the other two entrees came. We all had a lot of wine during all this time, so we went back to the boat and enjoyed the magnificent sunset!
