Four lost days in a row!

So today dawned bright and hopeful. Surely there would be some wind today?

morning has broken

But … no!

the racing fleet sits idle

We ended up spending the whole day waiting … also wondering if it was going to rain, which yes it did a bit …

kind of a fun statue on the waterfront, which I had all day to explore

A fun part of this day was a visit from the Prince of Monaco! He dropped by to say hello to everyone while we were waiting for wind.

Toward the end of the day, just as everyone was about to give up, the Race Committee decided “hey let’s give it a try”. So everyone got dressed and sailed out to the race course. But … still no wind. We bobbed around for a while, and finally the committee admitted “yes, we have no wind”, and we came in.

A lost day. Another one.

Well not totally lost. Because … then I went to Cannes!
