Building the route out of Bandol

Leave the harbour — the Bandol marina, one of the Var’s largest — then string the anchorages together: Bendor and the Embiez islands, the Port d’Alon calanque and the Saint-Cyr-les-Lecques shore. The local rule: run the exposed leg in the morning, come home in shelter.

Reading the water

Waters relatively sheltered from the strongest mistral, stirred by afternoon thermal breezes. A RIB shrugs off the chop better than its crew does: adjust speed and trim.
