Even though some of these yachts are half the size of 5 story buildings, the Nice Port is considered too small and shallow for the big yachts, which end up in either Antibes or Monte Carlo. But lately there's been rumblings at the Nice Marie's office to deepen the harbor and therefore attract more "boats of value"...Personally I'd rather stick with the smaller ones- let the Georgetown CI monsters sit in overdeveloped Monaco.
And what's the deal with one of the mega yachts being from Praha. Had no idea one could sail all the way from Praha to Nice. Huh?
It's also almost hard to believe that one of the boats that we can see from our window, QM OF LONDON, charters for 165,000 a week (that's Euros, not US$).
Another overcast day here, yet all of us managed to get a sunburn from sitting outside for an hour. Time to buy more sunscreen (as the 10 bottles of sunscreen that we do own are sitting somewhere in storage).
We get our share of those Georgetown CI monsters in the San Juans, too! I always think it is funny to see a boat with Salt Lake or Boise on the stern!
