Quick squizz at Monaco

Surprisingly rolly! Gentle but persistent swell coming in from the Med. Great fun to motor down past Monaco and see it all from the water. Beautifully sunny day. Anchored just off Menton beach for a bit of rocking lunch!

Gentle sail under genoa back to QAB

Very gentle morning. 8kts of Westerly wind, just enough to potter back to the marina under headsail at 4.5kts SOG. Low tide, so the “sharks teeth” near Drakes Island were on full display. Nasty things! Wouldn’t want to ground on one of those!
