Monaco harbor, lots of pics

[A_8]

I was in MonteCarlo, Monaco on business this week and managed a walk through the harbor, only had my cell for the pics.

I hope you enjoy.

One night at the Casino the guy next to me put down €100K and lost, he looked at me calmly and stated he had no problem with money.....

Another night there was a big party with a James Bond theme....also very nice, particularly there were many of us male participants enjoying the features of the car /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

nice images - we were there in the boat a month or so back but you probably wouldn't have bothered to get your camera out.

are the boats cheaper there it being tax free and all that or more expensive because everyone can afford everything?

Brilliant pictures!

i love Monaco, i have some pictures of the harbour taken from the cliff where the palace is which i'll try and dig out - interesting to see all the boats covered over, big difference compared to summer where each boat is out on display all the time /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Found 'em /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Just a shame it wasn't a sunnier day, i think we hit one of the 30 days a year where the sun doesn't shine in Monaco /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Is it just me or is the boat with 3 x 275 o/b just that tiny bit overpowered??

As you can see on some of the photos there was activity on quite a few. Their staff was cleaning, sanding the teak, working the engines, waterjets being tested, etc...
I also notices some had their generators going, there was almost no wind and dieselfumes all over the place, horrible if you ask me.
That little one with 3*275 on the back we almost got a ride with. It was a "no worries mate" type of guy from Australia who skippered and he said it would happily do over 60 knots.
