Anchorage well protected, and beautiful scenery, however when we were there, there was a very strong smell of sewage, and the water was questionable. We left quickly. Was it a punctual and natural smell of decomposing plants?
Mouillage bien protégé, et joli paysage, par contre lorsque nous y étions, il y avait une très forte odeur d’égout, et l’eau y était douteuse. Nous sommes partis rapidement. Était-ce une odeur ponctuelle et naturelle de décomposition de végétaux?
2/5The Covid must have some advantages. We were alone at this just perfect anchorage in an east wind: almost perfect wind protection and no roll. Have good cards for the pass which is still quite wide. The pontoon is private and overlooks a well maintained property that appears to be a seasonal rental. If there is no one there it is possible to enjoy the swings and the view from the southwest side of the islet. Anchorage by 8m of grassy bottom very good behavior. The white backgrounds between the islets Oscar and Thierry are 2km away. Plan to go early in the morning to be there on your own. The pontoon at Ilet Thierry is private and a dog is watching at the top ..;) It moves a bit to get there but it goes easily even with a 3 HP dinghy engine. Quite a few fast boat trips on weekends connecting Le Simon and Le François with white backgrounds and Joséphine's Bath. There seem to be parties organized on Oscar Island with very loud music on Saturday nights. Other than that it is an idyllic anchorage!
Il faut bien que le Covid ait quelques avantages. Nous étions seul à ce mouillage juste parfait par vent d’est: protection au vent quasi parfaite et aucun roulis. Avoir de bonnes cartes pour la passe qui reste quand même assez large. Le ponton est privé et donne sur une propriété bien entretenue qui semble être une location saisonnière. Si il n’y personne il est possible de profiter des balançoires et de la vue depuis le côté sud ouest de l îlet long. Mouillage par 8m de fond herbeux très bonne tenue. Les fonds blancs entre les ilets Oscar et Thierry sont à 2km en annexe. Prévoir d’y aller tôt le matin pour y être tout seul. Le ponton de l’îlet Thierry est privé et un chien veille en haut .. ;) Ça bouge un peu pour y aller mais ça passe facilement même avec un moteur d’annexe de 3 CV. Pas mal de passage de bateau rapide le weekend reliant Le Simon et Le François aux fond blancs et à la Baignoire de Joséphine. Il semble y avoir des soirées organisées sur l îlet Oscar avec de la musique très forte les samedis soirs. A part ça c’est un mouillage idyllique !
5/5A bit open to the wind if northerly, but well protected from swell. Not very clear water. On the far north of the island there is a beautiful beach accessible by dinghy. We did a ride around the island and had some great views. There are not many paths on land to walk we heard, and everything looks a little private. The depths in to land are not accurate with the chart, on the 5m curve we were reading 10m.
