    My first time to Monaco was all I expected and more. What a place,,the roads are amazing,, up and down all over like a toy train set.
    Upon checkin at the Le Meridian my first stop was the waterfront. As expected several big ones were anchored right off shore. Lauren L was the stand out,,Christina O was also there,,
    So first thing in the morning we set out to have a look,, it was raining but that didn't slow me down.
    There was a bustle of activity going on with all the displays going up. Let me tell you no expense was spared on this one. I couldn't believe the work in the displays being set up,, all for a 3 day show,, incredible. Some had very elaborate water features as well.

    Silver

    Saw Silver out with a helicopter chasing it around,, most likely doing a photo shoot. Didn't see Alpha Nero till we were on the road out of Monaco,, would have loved to seen her up close.

    Those are beautiful psdo, thank you for the time to post them! I like the shots of Anastasia as well as the stern shots of the other yachts like Hokulani. By the way, I do not think Anastasia's stern and rail is is made from wood but a paint or faux material that does a very good job at mimicking it. I read that somewhere...

    I would like to share my photos with you all, but how do I keep the resolution below 640 pixels? Please pm me.

    Simply reduce the size of the picture equally in the editing software that came with your camera. Stretch/Skew and reduce it manually by entering in how much pixels you want until the width becomes 640 or a little less but do not forget to equalize the vertical or else the image will look distorted.
