EUREKA We have uploaded (after 15h!!!! 🤬🤬🤬 )

Let’s start from the end: before to leave the docks, I discovered that there were protest, 3, and just one has been closed, I thought at least another boat was under investigation but for now not. 
Much before this, mean while we were around to look to some shots, a superyacht (that of course we shoot) has started to call our attention (please next time, slow down speed and use the right signal: 2 hand in the air to make a Y, not waving one, that mean No), because they collected a MayDay call from a boat and it has passed to us, the yellow rib (that legendary one, check other report in Cannes before), we moved to the cliff of the La Garoupe and we found 2 fishermen on their rigid boat, with the anchor around the propeller near to be grounded badly. We made it, and saved them.
Now back to the race to discover how much has been “illuminante” the interview/conversation with the great German Frers I had last year here: engineers byte style… and today the big lady has had the proof: KIWI MAGIC KZ and behind French Kiss F-7 has overtaken and smashed Cambria K-4:
Real time KIWI MAGIC= 03h20m33s
Real Time Cambria K-4= 03h44m22s -> Comp.= 04h48m48.28s
So KIWi are scoring 1 vs 1 British and KIWI 2 vs French Kiss, does it remind you something? Louis Vuitton 1987 maybe? (to check, the link: https://bit.ly/3WQ3GGQ ) and considering what is going on in St. Tropez and next year… America’s Cup style in Antibes… (pity that Luna Rossa patron is not here this year).

In front to the Picasso Museum PALYNODIE II F2054  was near to have a crash with another boat, which looks like didn’t see the leader downwind, nothing happened luckily.

DAN D-43 from the other side on the final mark has discovered the power of Emilia I-2 how much is strong.

Back on the docks, the lowest performance lady in this event, GREYLAG 1864Y,  is also an old lady with a story behind, like be part to Dunkirk (Operation Dynamo: https://bit.ly/3ORWszQ ).

And finally my great friend and colleague, has proof that rounded object tend to roll, leaving some of his bloods on the ground.

A final note about participants, TIGRIS 49 has landed yesterday, while TUIGA D-3 didn’t come even with last minute entry. It’s really a “shame” that 15mJI class doesn’t move around anymore (I’m very happy at the peak to be in Giraglia and shoot them between the modern!)

p.s.: This morning (2023Jun03), a crew has told me that after a refusal for redraw the Owner will not bring back the boat next year; I'm not going inside the question and who is right, but this is one of the way how SAILING goes to loose sailors!... it's the first time in Antibes, but not the first time I've to heard this.


Today looks great condition like yesterday we will see.
P.s.: last note: at moment I don’t have a full standing (just day 2 time), so I’ll update by myself.
