Très jolie ballade en mer sous le soleil marseillais,avec le plaisir de découvrir un voilier, le plaisir d'être peu nombreux et le plaisir d'être bien reçu.Le petit café à bord est très appréciable.
Merci au Capitaine pour ses explications géographiques et historiques. C'est toujours un plus agréable.
Nous avons eu la chance d'avoir un petit peu de vent qui a fait que la jeune et sympathique mousse (je ne sais pas quel est le terme) a pu monter les voiles en faisant participer ceux qui avaient envie.
Bref! super moment et MERCI à nos filles qui nous l'ont offert

Délicieuse sensation de longer Marseille au gré des flots. Magnifique embarcation à l'ancienne. Equipage accueillant... J'avais déjà goûté au plaisir de cette mini croisière l'été passé sur le même voilier. Je suis reparti pour un tour cette année. Et je ne change pas d'avis : ces trois heures à naviguer sont un vrai bonheur !
