Monaco Grand Prix

At the end of May, we sailed over to Monte Carlo, for the Monaco Grand Prix. We had the owner on board along with some high profile guests. Even with them cramping our style, we managed to enjoy ourselves checking out the race. Formula 1 cars are pretty impressive, and ridiculously loud. We had the opportunity to watch the race from the designer of our boats' office. It was very cool for Espon Ono to let the crew come up to watch the race. We went in two shifts, so the entire crew got to see the action up close. His office was right on top of the first turn, and the cars were making around 175 mph when the went infront of us. The port of Monaco really packs in the boats for the weekend. The guys and I had fun doing tender runs all day as it was the only way to get across the port. It was a zoo with everyone trying to find a dock to drop off guests.

Don't forget your earplugs

Packed in like sardines

Rich people and their toys

If you have a sweet car, you always get the front row infront of the casino
