Mediterranean Sailing Photos
Monaco
Tony Re and I catching up in Monaco, then some sailing together along the Cote d'Azur.
One afternoon on the jetty I walked into Bono and Leonardo DiCaprio, cruising together and arriving for the F1. We said hello.
Portofino, Italy
My all time favourite sailing destination.
It is the restaurants and the people watching. Italian and French movie stars everywhere. Glamorous in a way that is subtle and completely in your face at the same time.
Villefranche, Cote d'Azur
Enjoying a quiet meal aboard while anchored off Villefranche. The waterfront restaurants are just a short dinghy or SUP ride away. Good food, better people watching.
Saint Tropez, South of France
Moored on the quay at Saint Tropez, alongside some pretty famous neighbours. Lewis Hamilton among them, who is also a neighbour back in Monaco.
Valletta, Malta
Visited Malta many many times. Home for SY Alegria and myself for a couple of winters before covid.
The place reeks of history, but that is not why I keep going back. Malta has the best shipyard in the Mediterranean. Cheaper than the alternatives and the expertise is second to none. Worth the sail on its own.
Get around the island while the boat is up on the hard. The food is very good if you enjoy Middle Eastern cooking. A real mix of cultures.
Also a convenient stepping stone to the Greek Islands en route from and to the South of France.
