A third place podium finish (and a nice crystal vase) was a nice finish to the European adventure. Lady Van will arrive home on November 27. ______________________________________________________ LADY VAN CONTINUES HER TOUR OF THE CLASSIC REGATTAS OF THE MED After outings in Imperia, Nice, and Cannes, Lady Van arrived in St. Tropez on Sep 30.
