Yeah, no

After three hours of delays waiting for wind, there was a breath of air – the flags started moving – wisps of cloud blowing overhead – and the Race Committee decided to give it a try. The whole fleet slowly made their way out on the water and motored out to the race course.

a Norwegian team were the first ones out. Note flags in the background.

Well that was good and all very exciting but in the end, after drifting around for an hour in light winds, the Committee called it for the day. So frustrating for them; all that planning and then the weather doesn’t come through.

the fleet sits and waits … Monaco in the background
note the lack of wind on the water
trying to fly the chute
headed back in … view of the Monte Carlo waterfront
the hideous building on the left with the pilings showing is the Fairmont
just to the right is the horrible new construction out on the water

Okay, well that was fun … looks like it is time to be a tourist again … maybe now I head over to Cap Martin?
