Summertime in Menton - the Boat Trip - 7


Hold your nose and jump!

That's the railway line you see in the background. Anyone who takes a train along the French and Italian Rivieras knows you get a mighty good view.

Tomorrow, the Coastguard boat makes straight for us. What have we done wrong?

That definitely looks like loads of fun! Did you jump and swim too my dear?

Jilly said...

Sally, our boat was smaller than this one - but in any case, I didn't jump, I lowered myself in slowly via the steps! Wonderful water to swim in and clear too. You'd have loved it Sally, even tho it's not a pool!

Sally said...

Yes, I would have loved it - I have nothing against sea swimming! Next time 9there WILL be one!) we'll have so much more to explore, as well as revisiting much loved placeds. As you ahve seen I am currently publishing - Gorbio and Roquebrune both up now, and editing Monte Carlo!

I hadn't told anyoneother than my sister, husband and a friend about the link yet cos it is still a work in progress. All the pics are up now, right to the end, but only edited as far as Roquebrune.

It's a slow process! Do let me know if there are any mistakes. I am going to add pics of Rosie and Beau because I didn't have them but I had the pugs.

They certainly look like they are having a grand time of it! The water seems so clean...is it really?

Indeed, this is a great shot of a fun time! Coastguard eh? Hope there are enough life jackets aboard.

Jim said...

Great shot, of course everyone wants to see him belly flop, maybe next time.

Great action shot Jilly. I usually press the trigger too soon or too late!

Perfect timing! Now the moment is frozen for eternity ;)

It must be real fun and cool to be in the beach on a summer afternoon.

I am going to say "perfect timing" too because that shot must have taken some skill Jilly. Love the blue swimsuit on the right hand side too. Can't believe that M.B hasn't noticed that yet!
