Monte Carlo

THE MONACO NAVY


What is there to say about the mini-state that made a Main Line girl from Philly the Princess in the real world she always was on the screen?  That and squeezing in enough people to be the most densely populated place in the world.  Don’t get me wrong; this is not Mumbai we are talking about here.  It is the slickest overbuilt rock in the world.  Grand and oh so chic.  It shows how much style can be assembled on one hillside, marginally build-able lot.

What hit me on arriving in the harbor by launch was the Monte Carlo Navy;  the most incredible collection of yachts whose owners simply must be crowing, “Mine is bigger than yours” to anyone who will listen.  The nautical glitz here makes most super yachts you have seen positively modest or possibly even frumpy.
