A French superyacht skipper was high on cannabis and showing off in front of nine partying Britons when he lost control and crashed the 78-ton vessel into another yacht - killing a British deckhand, 29, on the French Riviera.
Crewman Jake Feldwhere, 27, was on the foredeck of an 88ft-long Minx preparing to lift the anchor when he was struck and killed off the coast of Île Sainte-Marguerite, near Cannes.
The tragedy happened after the husband of the British owner of the 78ft long Vision yacht asked the French skipper if it would be possible to attempt a pass of the yacht Minx so his guests could wave goodbye to their friends.

Summary
In the evening on 25 May 2019, the Gibraltar registered motor yacht Vision collided with the UK registered motor yacht Minx, which was anchored at Île Sainte-Marguerite, near Cannes, France. Minx’s crewman was on the foredeck and there was nothing he could have done to prevent being fatally struck by Vision’s bow. The accident happened because Vision’s skipper underestimated the risk associated with attempting a fast, close pass by the anchored Minx, a manoeuvre intended to provide an opportunity for the guests to wave goodbye, as the charterer had asked. Vision’s skipper had also consumed cannabis, which is likely to have impaired his judgement.

But given the on-off legality of travelling for everyone since March, even those with limitless budgets are now bursting to get away and let’s face it – we’re pretty much all craving the same thing: a hassle-free holiday that feels private, restorative, exciting and as Covid-free as it’s possible to be.

No category of wine has experienced such a dramatic shift in popularity as rosé in recent years. Long gone are the days of sugary white Zinfandel for decades, the only pink wine many Americans knew. Now, imports of high-quality dry rosé from Provence, rosé’s homeland, are skyrocketing, and it’s difficult to find a California winery these days that isn’t tinkering with pink.
HOW ROSÉ IS MADE
Rosé can be made in a variety of ways, but it’s always made from red grapes. In Provence, grapes like Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre and Cinsault are the most common varieties used for rosé production, but here in California, anything goes. You’ll see rosés made from Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and just about every red grape in between. Rosés can be paler than an onion skin or as deeply colored as a ruby.
