Agde

We got to Agde at the weekend and have spent the last few days sorting out where we go next.  We had hoped to go in to Marseillan  in the etang de Thau as we could get there regardless of the weather, but they were full so we have requested a berth in Gruissan and arranged to get the mast put up tomorrow on the river Herault down stream from Agde.
The fly in the ointment is the weather, a front is sweeping over us tonight and there will be strong winds until Friday and it looks as if it may be unsettled after that.  Gruissan is only 18 nm from the river mouth but we really don't want our first sail after putting the mast up to be in dodgy weather!
We have liked the look of Agede, though we have not spent much time there yet as we have been cycling to Marseillan and down the Herault to investigate our options.  The old part of Agde feels very much the medieval town with narrow twisted streets and towering houses, very few of which are upright! We had a very pleasant meal on the river front.
