The Sailing Lesson


A children's sailing lesson on Port Hercule.  In the smaller photo, the Bateau Bus waits for them to pass.

  1. I took these sailing lessons when I was growing up in Monaco and your pictures brought back to me the smell of gasoline mixed in with the sea breeze, the oily texture of the water, the dampness of those little "lasers" and "optimistes", the feel of the life-jackets... I could go on. Thanks for the memories!

  2. The sails add a welcome splash of colour to the picture. Pun intended!

  3. Being in Monaco would be enough but getting a sailing lesson there would be over the top!
