150121 Ski voile (420/ski) ANTIBES FRANCE (128 pict.)

What A great year for the ski after the miss of 2014 (no access to AURON). A 40cm powdersnow night delivery before a clear day.

Jean Louis Chadoutaud, almost a local in Auron with his faithful and SRA clubmate  Gerard Escalier,  brought the heavy and precious champagne on the finishline.

Not easy to participate and to take pictures: this time, I left my heavy NIKON home I tried the new compact Olympus TG3 Tough waterproof camera.

GRR... battery is not at the level of this supertoy:  Autofocus failed early morning because of relative cold temperature and mini battery gave up very quick before opening the traditional champagne... I had to finish with my smartphone.

These pictures are statics and only for memories; A big thanks to Carmen, from SRA club , who accepted to take some shots and sorry for those we miss. We ll do better next year with real action shots !

Good or bad level in ski, even in snow surf ..Don't miss this day in 2016:  competition is as easy as short and you can enjoy the bonus of a glorious skiday, with all AURON including delicious restaurants just for you without the week end crowd !

No pictures about the sailing except the ladywinners as I participate to the FINN contest with the wish to upgrade my abyssal level in regatta, but you can find some on the official site below.
