Castellammare di Stabia
We have finally arrived at our home for the next 12 months in the Marina di Stabia – the largest marina in the Med apparently. Room for 685 boats, it is not yet full but quite stylish with a yacht … Continue reading
Sant’Angelo – island of Ischia
So, having decided to leave Formia, we had a 7 hour sail to Sant’Angelo on the south side of Ischia. This island is just off the Gulf of Naples so we figured we could then spend the day on Thursday … Continue reading
Formia – finally on the mainland!
We left Ponza at 0300 as planned on Weds for the 7 hour trip back to the mainland. There was still no wind until about 0800 but then the predicted blow came. It was from the NW so we put … Continue reading

Tranquil in Asinara
We had an uneventful night sail over to Sardinia on Friday evening despite crossing the Straits of Bonifacio – a heavy shipping channel. We saw a couple of large freight liners and a superyacht but none of them close enough … Continue reading
Lost post
Hmm, not sure what happened but my post of yesterday didn’t appear on the blog and I haven’t got a copy. Anyway, since arriving in Alghero on Thursday morning we spent the day getting the boat ready for her first … Continue reading
