Looks like a windy night to be at anchor, though i'm sure BA will take it in her stride.

Yep, windy night it is for sure.Looks like a windy night to be at anchor, though i'm sure BA will take it in her stride.
From where we are (still) anchored, we can see the La Rague marina entrance pretty well.Morning all. For those out and about this early morning in Bays of Cannes, a pro friend is moving An Endurance from Antibes to La Rague on one engine and jury-rigged steering
looking forward to going to the Cannes show next week, have been the last two years and really enjoyed it great weather, loads of boats you never see in the UK plus the all the other bits to admire, usually two legged !!
Anyone else going?
Sorry to be slow reponding on here to this and to threads generally - I've been busy cruising and at the Cannes show
The Cannes show is fantastic and well worth a visit. Anyone not doing anything this weekend would be well advised to jump on a plane and visit.
BartW and the BA posse: your tender Q is interesting . Of course the official answer is "no" but for the last 3-4 years I have entered the show from the sea by 5m RIB and just not made eye contact with any security guys and had no problem. I have had exhibitor passes on me, if questioned, but I never got questioned. The tricky part is where to tie the RIB once you get in. I have tied to the Fairline stand or my own boat (in 2011) but you can't really do that without a special invitation. Canados have a stand on the right as you enter the port - surely they will let you park your RIB? If Canados will not help you I will try to fnd you a slot close to Match on Friday PM, Saturday or Sunday, if you wish. Let me know. I will be there then but I'm in London today and tomorrow. Text me when you will arrive, if it coincides with my visit
The Fairline stand and Match are the most glamorous things at the show: see proof below, taken about an hour ago
Had no idea a 78' mobo needed so many crew........!

It's calmed down last 2 days -I,ve been out entertaining friends all week ,but managed to see the show on Wednesday courtesy of SS.
Out of 10 I would score Cannes 9.5 ,SIBS 4 and London 2 .
It's the first time we have done Cannes ,won,t waste time with the UK shows from now on.
Plan to revisit Sunday ( cos one day is not really enough time )
