Regates Royales de Cannes

On another water theme: 







Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to photograph the spectacular regatta royale in the Bay of Cannes, Cote d'Azur. Going out on a zodiac in the middle of the regatta between the elegant racing sail boats was great fun - no sea sickness, lots of action, perfect weather. My cameras got sprayed a bit but Nikons are tough.

Wind is coming up ! 











all hands busy






overtaking manoeuvers around the buoy










One-man-team






Not bad either - eh?
