In January, Monacoeye received a steady stream of
photos from St Barths in the Carribean from our
photographer there, Bob Paylor. He was the first to
spot that Northern Star had changed name to Polar
Star and sent in new shots of Rasselas, Mosaique,
Muse, Shalimar, Quivira, Lucky Seven, Symphony II,
Ohana, Relentless, Renalo, Savannah, Sunrise,
Twilight, Wheels, Orinoquia, Midnight, Mariah II, Lys
D'Ô, Lady Iris, Lady Frances IV, Kaleen, Mystic,
Griffioen. They can all be seen in the January archive.
Some of these need a little more information.
This shot sees Rupert
Murdoch's new Perini Rosehearty sailing past
Maltese Falcon and Atlantide, both owned by Tom
Perkins, and Peter Lewis' Lone Ranger. Bob also
sent in shots of the converted tug Dolce Far
Niente - the new name for Seawolfe. And lastly
but by no means leastly, Eos, the recent launch from
Lürssen, which has taken the title of the
largest private yacht in the world from Athena -
we're looking forward to seeing some more photos
of what by all accounts is a superb new sailing
yacht.
The Perini Navi section was padded out with new shots of Independence, Santa Maria and Perseus. Lady Lauren is waiting in the wings with many other shots from Bob, while Monacoeye undergoes a few site formatting changes.
I saw Skat and Bleu de Nîmes in the beautiful city of Genoa, as well as a few familiar faces from Monaco, who had moved down the coast to escape the port reconstruction. Mirgab V was in one of the yards with many others I couldn't identify. Skat was then spotted again in Portofino by Heinrich Scheit, who took some really beautiful shots which I will be posting in the Skat comments section. And then Skat turned up in Monaco on February 12th, I took a few shots from the top of Monaco as she prepared to berth, and will have many more close ups to post in the next few days.
New photos of Lady Moura were added, and I took a few shots of the Monte Carlo Rally with rally star Sebastien Loeb receiving his prize from Prince Albert.
On a technical note, please make sure you have the latest browsers installed to enjoy the site at its best! For all those surfers among you still using Internet Explorer 6 (and you are the vast majority), Internet Explorer 7 is out, and it is much better. All sites, not just monacoeye, will probably work better with it. And for those of you like myself who use Firefox, the latest version is Firefox 2, so if you're still using 1.5 it's time you upgraded! Both upgrades are free. If this site is displaying badly for you I'd appreciate the feedback - it's difficult for me to test all browser-platform combinations. I'll still be making changes for the next week or so.
