,,, jgtgmmg-5 , 1 BA DOL, FRANCE Everyone wore lifejaclcets as the liberty boat made its way ashore, not to return until the next morning. At long-last we reached the French Riviera, the resort town of Bandol, between Toulon and Marseilles, with the finest beaches in the area. It was an amazing week. We anchored in the harbor, a 15-minute boat ride from Fleet Landing, which was in a pro- tected cover near the center of town. However, the weather in the harbor was chilly for August 10-16, and the wind made things rather choppy. As a result, the capacity of the motor whale- boat was cut from 15 to 9 passengers per trip on rough days, and twice boating was cancelled. Once, when the ship was taking 1'5-degree rolls while at anchor, the boat, a small liberty party, and the beach guard shore patrol were stranded ashore overnight. ' Nevertheless, during the 6-day stay about 450 curious Frenchmen and others on holiday toured the ship. A number were given a picnic supper while waiting for their return trip ashore. Those sailors who got ashore, meanwhile, found excellent restaurants, a long sandy beach, and the island of Bendor to explore. A Afew sailboaters ventured out into the choppy harbor, while stacks of refuSC awaited our return to deep Water away from shore to be dumped over the side.
