The King Grau has Port Camargue Do the travers? e between these two points do pr? feel not big difficult? but with an immatricul boat? in river, it is a history. Boat hire me percut? on the canal du midi, it required that I find a site for r? prepare my boat, but especially the out of the water. However for the out of the water must be a sufficiently powerful crane, more than 18 tons, and it is not easy. ? both in AIGUES-MORTES, I demand? Sirvent site if he could r? prepare. Her r? response was clear, pr? cise and especially honn? te; site do? that barrier of wooden boats and any fa?, it is not? quip? crane to get my boat. In discussing with him, he tells me a corporation? t? who can support the work. During our discussion, it gives me an overview? the price u if I had to come a crane (500? 700 euros). A cold sweat suddenly invades me. I take contact with this ICO? t? which tells me that the easiest would be to him out? Port comrade. Yes, but to go? Port comrade, there is the sea. A travers? 800 e? 1000 m? tres? to do so. How do I? I know that the maritime portion is prohibited for my boat because I am immatricul? in river. I take contact with maritime affairs of the GRAU of the King, but holiday requires, the Office is closed? One of the City Hall told me to contact the gendarmerie Maritime of Port Camargue. The person who I r? pond t? l? phone and? which I outline my suffering? me told me that he cannot verbalize me, well that my boat out at sea is prohibited. He advises me n? nevertheless ask? my insurance a provisional authorization to cross so that my boat remains assur?, you never know. Apr? s have expected my insurance certificate, I performed the travers? e 15 minutes taking, I confess, some pleasure. Got? a Port Camargue, home and formalit? s in the Office of the port. A polite and warm welcome that many Ports should take as r? f? Conference. A place me was granted? e until the expert and the exit of the water. A few days apr? s my got? e? Port Camargue, a customs boat berthed? couple. Returning to the races and seeing the features of the Customs and its? crew who looked at my boat, without y? tre mount?, a moment of h? hesitate invades me; I'll go or I go there not? With nothing? blame me is that for? tre out to sea with a boat immatricul? in river. The home was dry but courteous. The Commander of the Customs asked me the Act of francization. Well s? r, I will then show him and cause. A discussion engaged with? the cl? a breach of 150 Euros for d? must act and another for navigation at sea with a river boat, but the amount of the fine did not? was donn? The Commander who? cost? my history and my d? marches aupr? s of authority? s and apr? s v? audit aupr? s of the maritime force on my appeal t? l? voice closes his book of tickets. The incident? was closed. CONCLUSION: ? tre honn? te is a good factor to good faith, to have front of self-esteem of the people responsible, intelligent, courteous and not returning on their statements is an important asset to make a difference and? possibly r? regulations. However, some sites trying to take advantage of the situation which is not tr? s commer? ant on their part. Jacques and Chantal Boat? The OWL Epervier?
