    Owner wanted to host guests onboard during the F1 race. She has anchored next to Ciragan Palace, which is renovated to be Hotel Kempinski. In the following pictures you will see Burger yacht Areti II and Nereids build Thetis.

    Hi Nilo

    Are you going to stay in your area and Greece or are you venturing to our side of the pond again. I hear that Greece is going to be very busy this year as everybody i have spoken to are heading that way. You dont know how i miss the boats. Enjoy it. Have you had any major issues with her.

    Graham, thanks. This season we are planning to stay in our area and enjoy the sea and the sun. We did not have any major problems. However, I am not happy with the Opacmare swim ladder. So far it has not been working efficiently and down most of the time, but what is irritating more is the lack of support from Opacmare. In general Moonen was taking care of all the issues quite diligently.

    Indian Empress not Indian Princess

    Dear Andrei,

    You are absolutely right, I've made a presentation error. She is indeed "Indian Empress".

    Carl, can you pls assist me to edit the initial title of the thread.

    Indian Enjoyment

    Guess who had the biggest party this weekend? Monte Carlo was full as usual for the GP and the Boss's driver was lying 4th until the world champion Kimi nerfed him in the rear. The boats were very rolley, some of the masts rolled side to side all day, I'm very glad not to be there on charter yet again.

    Reverie was in Istanbul

    Reverie and White Rose were in Istanbul. I can only post pictures of Reverie, because the pictures of White Rose I've taken at very low light conditions were not good.
