Women's Aquabike Championship 2006
28 Aug 2006 08:27 :Events
Today is the start of the 2006 Women's World Aquabike Championship. The championship will be held outside the port, off the new jetty, which has purpose built terraces to accommodate spectators. I believe this is the first time they will have been used for a sporting event. The championship runs over the whole weekend starting 4.30 pm today and it's free to watch. One of the stars to watch out for is Anastasia Potanina.
Supercup 2006 • Sevilla vs Barcelona
25 Aug 2006 15:00 :Events
Once again Monaco is hosting the Supercup Final - a match played between the winners of the European Champions League and the UEFA Cup. Last year a selection of Abramovich's yachts accompanied CSKA Moscow, who ended up losing to Liverpool. This year it's a an entirely Spanish derby between Seville and Barça, home to footballer of the year Ronaldinho. Fans from both ends of Spain have been arriving in their thousands bedecked in their team's regalia. Many have disembarked from cruise ships, which are lining up outside the port. A few Spanish yachts have been spotted thus far including Paz, now sporting the Perini logo, which was absent last year.
Update: Seville won 3-0 !

This year the northern Med has witnessed an explosion in the numbers of jellyfish. Bathing has thus been a risky proposition for most of the summer. The causes are threefold: overfishing has depleted the jellyfish's natural predators, organic pollutants have increased their nutrients, global sea warming has created an ideal living temperature. Look out for the red or orange flag if swimming in the Larvotto.
