On a day like today St Tropez..What can you say.. We picked up our guests in Cannes on a blustery day with the wind strong out of the East. After lunch and to get everyone settled in to the boat we sailed with only small sails. still doing 11 knots. Out 12nm to International waters and then on in to the Bay of St Tropez. Where we moored on the outside wall.

4,000nm in 12 days including a refuel stop in Horta is an average of 330nm a day. An astonishing time. great Job Capt Markus and the Team. After arrival in Imperia a major clean up and turn around ready to go out for the summer charters. Lots of washing , cleaning and polishing. Refuel again, put on the provisions and then off to Cannes to pick up our new guests. The summer is going to go quick!
We found a dead whale, we smelt it out! Fish life was abundant, with a couple of passes and 3 fish landed this was the pick of the bunch! Nice work Mark for reeling it in.
Has been an amazing crossing so far, with very little breeze and the ocean like a lake....
