Apropos nothing at all really, except perhaps some of the reports of bad UK summer weather, I thought I'd post a few Med boat pics, all taken v recently. If you don’t like pic posts or med pics, look away know. If your name's Alastair, tune in now. There are lots of stills below, then at the end there's a little vid I stuck together on the plane a couple of days ago. Hope you enjoy, but as I say this is a pointless post apropos nothing at all really 
1. Here is Magnum arriving in Antibes for first time a few weeks ago, being driven by sunseeker bods
2. TCM anchored, before his big sail westwards, couple of weeks ago
3. Nice dutch yacht anchored in Salis, Antibes in background, last week
4. Observer junior+ senior borrowing my tender, 2 wks ago, in villefranche
5. Observer junior in my other tender. I really recommend these things, googlable, called a Sevylor Colorado. Bags of fun for about £290
6+7. Some boats photoe-d near monaco last weekend. First, a slightly fat looking sportscruiser. Nor sure what it is
8. Still on the subject of fat, a new hatteras that really is a bit obese looking
9. Lovely Palmer Johnson. Actually I don’t find this as pretty as when first launched. Not really timeless styling is it?
10. Azimut, nice lines
11. Back to fat - a conam widebody or whatever they're called. Not my cuppa tea. Pic off Cap D'Ail
12+13. Gorgeous pred 82 in Magnum colours, off Cap ferrat just under Sir Norman Foster's house (1st pic) and Nice (2nd pic) last Sunday
14 Lovely villefranche from some distance off. Stunning mountains at the back of these anchorages
15 Sunny Antibes
16 + 17 Fabulous skies, last weekend, in Antibes. No cheats/red filters used here. Railings at bottom of second pic are houghn's princess 57
18 Running back to Antibes from the east, last Saturday evening (land is Cap D Antibes east side, lighthouse is visible on small hill in middle of Cap)
19. Lerins Islands, Cannes, last weekend, gorgeous San Lorenzo to left, which I'm saving up for
20 Little Wallypower flying along
21. Dunno - Burgundy Ben can you identify please?!
22. For PaulineB. How dare they? The cheek of it. Cream boat in background, right, is Kingdom 5KR (I think. Alan, are you there... can you confirm? )
23+24 Fireworks, Cannes, last Friday. Big boat to left of first pic is Kingdom 5KR anchored in E wind, minding her own business in a tight spot. Then 2/3 through the firework show the wind shifted to southerly (second pic, taken from same place as first pic) and she swung round slowly bumping into a whole stack of small boats anchored just north of her. Was quite chaotic!
25. "My" berth in Beaulieu. I have invested much in tips and charm offensive to get a regular berth this close to African Queen restaurant. Chris B175 whaddya reckon man?
26 Nice view Monaco from east, Monday this week
27. Red Azimut entering port of monaco, bit of a daft name huh? Superyacht behind is Vagabondo Again or whatever it's called, which hardly ever moves from Golfe Juan but was in action last weekend
28 Very nice Selene, but trudging along and burning a bit too much diesel, hmmm... This one has the customisation that other med Selenes have, whereby the tender is davited and the upper aft deck where the tender normally goes has been made into a big lounging area. I think it's a 66 but not 100% sure (?)
29 Me anchored off St Jean Cap Ferrat with son + his school mates last weekend, about 38 of them iirc, on board
30. I don’t get the styling on these small preds. They're as tall and dumpy as the same size hattan flybridges, so why not just get a flybridge? Predator sleek styling works on say a 72, but not something this size? All that height and dumpiness is of course becuase the market insists on central full beam owner cabins these days. What do you think?
31 Video. Sorry bout music, I don’t have much music on this PC
