Although it can be a little difficult to find places to celebrate Halloween on the French Riviera, tales of ghosts and haunted places are easy to find, if you know who to talk to... For example, there's a fascinating history behind a yacht once owned by legendary swashbuckler, Errol Flynn - the Zaca.
full story: http://owensoft.net/news/link/1548/Summary: In winter of 1946, Errol Flynn purchased Navy Island for the princely sum of US$80,000. For the next decade that small swath of land, not even 100 yards from the beaches of Port Antonio, became the berthing place for Flynns yacht Zaca, and the staging point for his unending parties that is today the stuff of legend.

Ibiza has always attracted the rich and famous and it’s easy to see why. There’s the private resort beaches (Playa d’en Bossa), packed strips of sand where the beautiful people go to be seen (Playa de Malamanca) as well as hidden islets and coves, where the famous can escape the paparazzi. Ibiza hosts the Superstar clubs with their superstar DJs playing the latest sounds and where it pays to be seen. Ibiza hotels carry information as to who’s appearing. San Antonio beach has a wealth of drinking places, open all day. Try the famous Cafe Del Mar, to see which celebrities are in town.
In the 50s, the island was a haven for stars like Erroll Flynn. He used to moor his yacht Zaca, by the waterfront and come ashore with his entourage, which included Prince Bertii of Switzerland, the uncle of today’s Spanish king, Juan Carlos. Also in the 50s, Elizabeth Taylor and Ursula Andress were frequent visitors to the island. Andress even bought a house here. Actors soon became entranced with the island. Maggie Smith, Leslie Phillips, Nigel Davenport and Terry Thomas were often seen here. However it was the appearance of Laurence Olivier in 1965 that secured Ibiza’s reputation as the most fashionable place in Europe. In the 1970s, many up and coming ‘bright young things’ all bought houses on the island. These included all the members of Pink Floyd, Roger Taylor of Queen, Goldie Hawn, Bob Dylan, Nicky Lauda and Nico.

These builders had had a wide range of boat THE BEARS building experience— fishing boats, purse-seiners, large yachts. The Zaca was built there. And Manuel Nunes, who designed the Bear, had a fine eye for line.
