First Class Boating...

Chris’ sister and her family were staying at the same time at Chris and Terri’s house in Port Grimaud, where my family has had the good fortune and pleasure of staying twice. We all gathered there late one morning to set off for an afternoon of boating. 
Since their boat fits 6 and we had 13, Terri rented a boat with skipper for the overflow. Imagine my surprise when this giant boat pulled in front of their house to pick us up.
As always, I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Port Grimaud from the water, although previously I’d only been in a small electric boat or a kayak.
Chris’ brother-in-law and nephew each have a skipper’s license so they took turns driving Grace, a beautiful wooden boat.
On the hill is the Kube Hotel, where we stayed in 2013 for Terri’s 50th birthday party.
For the first time, I wasn’t merely on a ferry heading to the St. Tropez harbor, but rather on a speed boat whisking past the beautiful city...
...and seeing the fort on the hill above the city which we’ve never managed to visit.
