Catas - piccies from Jean-Pierre Blache









Thanks for the pics JP! Although I can be see posing here, I hasten to add that I did not do anything at all to help build the boats! All the hard work was done by the others in the photos below.

Euro Cup



Stocking up on the pasta and sausage evening's calories for the next day's sailing

Euro Cup



Photographing Anthony and his special way (Welsh?) of successfully cooking the sausages

Euro Cup



Masses of crews to serve!

Patricia and Celine busy serving the hungry yacht crews

While an army of cooks sorted out the sausages, others are left all on their own to deal with cooking pasta for about 160 people in very difficult conditions !

Euro cup






Anthony S said to me 'So why are you in this photo Carolyn? You have done nothing to help shop, prepare or cook all these sausages'!!!!! (Normal Welsh/English bickering). Very true thou - I am just a groupie who wanted to be seen around this army of sexy chefs! If it is any consolation to him, I never even got around to tasting one of those yummy sausages. Brownie points for his brother-in-law who replenished the low stocks of charcoal (English efficiency)otherwise it was an evening 'sans' sausages. And unlike the French - no bread - which was a pity. I would have preferred bread to pasta like a lot of the participants I spoke to as we didn't know how to handle the sausages - but all the helpers were for the pasta when I investigated afterwards - except Celine's dad who agreed with me. Will try and find more supporters here. And isn't it easier to give distribute bread?

Euro Cup




The sky is getting clearer and clearer!!! Not a great picture but my camera is really only for close up views - this is the best I can do for long shots! Patrick wants to know why the sea 'slopes' here?

Finally, on Saturday afternoon a bit of serious sailing!

Waiting around is tiring, so Loic decides to see if the bbq equipment works for Sunday evening - or is he planning to blow up the club here ?!

View of the dinghies on Saturday morning in very grim weather - not a soul in sight.
