The week of The Monaco Boatshow was filled with bad weather, bad seas and no sleep because of the bad weather and bad seas. The couple of good days we did get were beautiful though, especially the sunrises! From when we started coming to the show 9yrs ago things have changed so much. The BIG boats back then for this industry were 50 metres, now the BIG ones are 100+ metres. They are just insane and also soooooo many of them. A few years back there would be only a handful of boats out at anchor off the show, but now as you can see by our monitors there are probably a hundred or more. Each red bit or small yellow dots are boats all crammed in with each other and every boat is 50 metres +.
It's crazy to think that there is that many 'insanely' wealthy people in this world and this is just whats in Monaco.
Still to this day I can not get my head around this kind of wealth and way of life and I have been living around it and have dedicated the last 9yrs of my life to it.
We packed up sunday morning and headed home to Imperia. You should of seen the warm welcome we had. Our friends were on the dock and on the front of their boats waving, screaming and cheering us in! Was lovely. You know what else was lovely, getting a good nights sleep!
