What a line-up of mega yachts. But why are they all in port?" Could it be that the price of gasoline is so expensive that the owners lack the funds to go cruising? No. Even with the recession, I doubt it.

What a great way to spend the summer.
What an amazing scene, Jilly. The modern architecture and the pleasure crafts! I wonder what that scene represents in real money?!
Jilly,
are you at your friend's mom's place where you watched the F1 practice?
nice view from that place!

What a wonderful picture of the harbor and yachts! But you didn't get permission to photograph MY yacht, the second one from the right along the street dock!
it must be an unforgettable show!
Rick, you got it. Same balcony. 11th floor.

Home berths, that's where they're mostly kept. Aug is virtually impossible to get into any port so most will return to their home berths in the evening if they've been out & about during the day & obviously guests often want to go out for dinner/drinks/gambling in the evening ... Nothing worse than cabin fever, however nice the cabin! As the one's on the left will be 30,000,000 Euros + ... funds for fuel isn't a problem! Many of them will be empty with a skeleton crew on board ... Just depends on the whimsical owners!
