Ola! We are alive!
Completely snowed in, who would have thought it, French Riviera covered in show. Our camera kicked the bucket, so you’ll have to believe me on this one. Loads of snow, and still falling!
All is well, we’ve done a couple of regattas, Yulia did a Day Skipper course, I did my RYA Shorebased [...]
