Return to land


No expense spared

Could not help noticing that JL was sporting a BRAND NEW pair of mules - no expense spared and hard to believe!!!!! Did the last pair finally give up the ghost after years and years of use?
What happened to them?

The helpers


Bernard, Anthony, Geoff, Jean Louis and a friend who helped during the event - what would we do without them?

Optimist competition


Yummy yummy!!!!

Cavalaire, Cogolin, St Tropez and St Raphael took part in the competition on a nice warm sunny day. Here we see Celine, to the right, preparing a snack for the children with parents for the end of the sailing event and trying to resist all those goodies!!

Assemblée Générale - George


George is presented with a gift from Aline to thank him for his long service to the club over the years. He has resigned as Vice President in order to profit fully from his retirement but remains a member of the club and will still be seen around!

ASSEMBLEE GENERALE


Aline caught in deep and meaningful conversation!

ASSEMBLEE GENERALE - Bernard


Bernard is a new member of the Committee and is looking a bit worried here about his new mission!

ASSEMBLEE GENERALE - Marin


The youngest member to attend the meeting was Marin who has been very successful in all his many sailing competitions this last year.

The YC Treasurer looking very happy with himself after giving us a report of the finances of the club - (tout va bien!) - and it's coca cola, not whisky in the glass!

Maryne


I stole this photo from Maryne's 'Facebook' page where she had titled it 'National de Cannes' and she can be seen with a winner's cup looking very fashionable as usual. If she doesn't succeed with her sailing aspirations she can always be a top model later in life as she is already very tall, slim and the most attractive female in our yacht club! She is also a clever cookie at school! (bottom right in blue sweatshirt)

Marin

Marin was finally classed 18th in his recent sailing competition which is very good as a lot of the well placed young sailors were in their last year in this category and Marin has another year to go so he a good chance of winning next year!

Yacht club site

I noticed this morning that the Yacht Club site on internet for Cavalaire YC has been updated and it now has lots more information available to everyone. Looks good.

YCC people admire the 29 er




Hmm, I doubt that they are going to pose any threats to the current 29 er winners!

The last apero


As usual, lots of success for the aperos organised by the club.

All male club members want to be seen with the Norwegian winners!







Packing up to go


Well, after all that racing the return journey must be organised!

The waiting game

On the second day there was a bit of waiting around to do for the sailors between races and lots of left-over cake to eat from Saturday's evening meal!
