To the beach

I know that it has been a long time since I wrote !! That is beacause it is a long time since I had time that was not, either working or sleeping.
We left Monaco and have been cruising about down here in the south of France. Pretty much between Monaco, Nice, Cannes, St Tropez and a quick trip to Portofino in Italy.
I remember going to the beach with my family as a child, loading up dads car to the hilt with beach toys and food and all sorts of stuff.
We all used to love it!
Now when these guys go to the beach. They go to the beach in a very different way. This is us on the way from the anchorage at St Tropez to the beach 20 miles down the coast. They took this picture from the chopper of course and we braught the 115 foot day boat along as well.
When we arrive at the beach we launch the jet skis the water ski boat, inflate the banana and donut (stuff to drag kids on behind said water ski boat) then we flood the pool in the back and prepare the limo tender to take everyone to the actual sand. Then the bloke at the beach says our tender is to big to land on his small dock, so we launch the chopper again to take the guests the 200 meters from the boat to the land by helicopter! but there is not room for everyone in the chopper so we have to launch another smaller tender to take the others anyway! I dont think that I mentioned the floating trampoline! Oh and the treasure hunt that we had to set up for the kids.
