Long Weekend

A long weekend here in France so we got out between the showers (yes the weather is not great here, sunny and warm followed by cold and rainy - and a distinct lack of wind )

Mummy trying to get the perfect photo.


Sarah having fun.


The kids on the beach.


Jack sharing out the snacks to Sarah.

Sarah asking for more and Jack going "phew".

6-8m waves hit the Cote d'Azur

Sailed 4.5 in 20-40 knots of wind in on shore conditions. Nice sailign and jumping. Waves seemed to have wreaked havoc on the coast. See photo for one of the waves hitting the promenade at Nice (compare the size of wave to the hotels behind it). The papers talk of 6-8 metres but they seemed more like 2-3metres but when they hit the beach the sure look impressive.

6-8m waves hit Cote d'Azur (ehem - really 2-3m !)

Sailed 4.5 in 20-40 knots of wind yesterday in on-shore conditions. Nice sailing and jumping. Waves seemed to have wreaked havoc on the coast. See photo for one of the waves hitting the promenade at Nice (compare the size of the wave to the hotels behind it). The papers talk of 6-8m high waves but to me they seemed more like 2-3m but when they hit the beach, they sure look impressive!

Jack in the ski school

Daddies snowboarding tracks under the ski lift. Monday must have been the best day of the season, fresh snow, sunny skies and fast powder runs down the mountain (one after the other), pure speed, pure joy, pure powder!!!
