yet another day of no

Could you schedule a major sailing championship and have three consecutive days of no wind? Well yes, apparently. Today dawned with some meteorological optimism, but in the end again no wind, certainly not enough to race. Rats!

the very picture of “no wind”

Today we didn’t even get to go out and pretend, the Race Committee went out for us, and gave periodic reports. I got pretty bored – have already bought everything I wanted to buy, taken pictures of everything I wanted to shoot, and visited everything there is to visit. Did not think I’d be bored sailing in Monaco, but there you are. As this is being typed I’m awaiting final word before heading out to Italy!

yeah, did get a chance to re-visit the shopping area up on Monte Carlo 🙂
oogling the superyachts of the .01%-ers
this one is a mere 300′ long – wow
this is more to my liking – the Royal Flagship of the Yacht Club (from 1909)
and the fleet sits idle, waiting for a chance to race…

Well stay tuned, there will be a bit more tourist-ing ahead, and keep your fingers crossed for tomorrow!
