We have just created a page on 'facebook' -  'Yacht Club de Cavalaire' -if you want to look it up?  Right now I am going to put everything on the facebook page - even if it is just for the summer period.  We'll see how it goes

Léa

Prize giving evening organised by  Cavalaire to reward and recognise all  the talented youngsters nominated by a variety of sport clubs in the town.

The Office

Clare has arrived after her second year of studies at university in England to take charge of the office for the busy  summer period. 

Point plage 2012

I see that Point Plage is nearly ready for the summer season - where have I seen those palm tree branches before?

New optimists for the club

CRITERIUM

The first level of racing for sport in school took place today, 30th May, at Cavalaire between Saint Maxime; St Raphael; St Tropez and Cavalaire sur  mer.  Here you can see a few pictures taken at the prize giving and the tea party afterwards.

Cleaning up

Nice day for a bbq

Delicious bbq

Spot PB eating along with the youngsters!!

BBq trouble

If Anthony S isn't around, the bbq never goes right - here he is seen putting things in order so that we don't eat raw sausages

Strong east wind

Despite a strong east wind our young sailors can be seen here posing with Pierrot  before going to sea.

BBQ lunch 12 May

Yum yum - those sausages prepared so well  by Anthony are just really  tasty - especially after a morning out at sea

BBQ 12 May

Pierrot can be seen here collecting the payment for the bbq sausages - a financial wizard who runs the drinks machine at the YC  with a good profit thanks to all his hard work - buying the drink cans, filling the machine, emptying the money etc etc

Mr BBQ

As usual we relied on  our pro for the BBQ

Saturday 12 May

Plenty of enthusiasm but despite the fine weather we could have done with a bit more wind

Yacht Race - 14 and 15th April

Aline can be seen here giving a little speech before a tasty apero made up of rosé and canapés was offered to all the participating boat crews after a day of racing.

Stuck at land

Here we witness the dangers of alcohol on your health because of not going out to sea in high winds !! Oh let's have another apero! We are spotted emptying Doumé's stocks of booze and crisps!

Waiting around for the racing to start

YC members reveal their amazing skills at card playing as they wait around for judge decisions on whether or not to race today

Watiing for the judges to decide something

As the judges can't make up their minds to cancel the race, we are grateful for Doumé's generous hospitality and the day is spent on his yacht - eating, drinking and playing cards!

The enthusiatic crew that never went out to sea!

To sea or not to be!!!!!

The rare ten seconds when we thought we might have to go out to sea and were preparing for it (didn't last long)!
