The spectator

Yes, but what's he spectating?
Answer, the 'Bol d'Or', a race for sailing boats which sets off each year to race from Geneva to the other end of Lake Geneva and back.
This year is the 75th competition and has attracted over 500 vessels.
They range from 35 metre racing catamarans through to week-end sailors in their cruising yachts.
The competitors are everything from from sailing professionals and their billionaire backers to ordinary guys who set off for a good time with a case of wine....
In fact the winner took 12 hours 30 minutes and some of the other boats aren't even close to finishing yet, 24 hours later!
