La Ciotat Boat Show

[Bouba]

La Ciotat Salon Nautique starts next week....it’s a small intimate boat show...probably nothing over 50 foot...lots of boats in the 20 foot bracket. I like the town and port....and the food there (not the boat show) is very good. If I do go it will be my first post covid boat show. I used to go to them all but now it’s a rare day out....just saying...

@Bouba trust you will do a report on the food and maybe a boat ?

@Bouba looks good but where's the wine. Dog looks hopeful for some tasting of the fare !

I stopped in a grocery shop on the way to lunch and bought the dog some chicken so he wouldn’t bother his dad
I don’t drink while driving and to be honest rarely drink during the day...otherwise the rest of the day is wasted by sleep

The wife just asked me if I want to go to the boat show tomorrow .....I said that I’ll think about it

 

[Bouba]

So off we went …being a man, I naturally assumed that I would get parking close to the entrance…despite it being the first day and a weekend…after half an hour I finally listened to the wife and went to the multi-storey…
It was a lovely sunny (but breezy) day and had lunch at the old port…

By afternoon it did get a little foreboding..

 

[Bouba]

There was something there for everyone….
An electric boat for flaming…


A characterful boat for Wansworth…


an antisocial boat for Fr J Hackett …


For grumpy_o_g who hasn’t room on his drive for an ev…something else he won’t be able to park there…

 

[Bouba]

Even something for me….

[Bouba]

Just to show that ribs don’t have to be uncomfortable

 

[Bouba]

Even self portraits to enhance your boat are available…

 

[Bouba]

And the real reason people go to boat shows….

Looks like something that James Bond would use. With twin missile launchers.

Yes, it has headlights, turn signals and retractable wheels.....there was a rib from NZ that did this also...but it’s the first time I’ve seen it on a sports boat...I wouldn’t buy it unless the vendor got it registered for the road and found an insurance company to back it
