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)!
