Not all the rich moor their tubs in the port of Antibes. Some just anchor offshore. Maybe only the really rich appreciate the savings of not paying so much in mooring charges whilst still lashing out so much on crewing, fuel and insurance charges.
A bit like loitering behind a taxi instead of loitering behind a bus. Bigger notional saving, but pretty poor viewed from the outside.
In the last week, we have seen, off the Gravette, A a sinister James Bond vessel, the Delphine, a steamship of the 1920's, and the inimitable footballer chic of the Maltese Falcon. All of them for hire, all of them spic and span, but all of them operating in a pitiless environment of unaffordable port fees.
