Roma

Made it to Port Di Roma, went up the River and was not impressed with the moorings there. Felt like we were entering a third world country. Came back out and went into Port Di Roma marina, a lot more what we are used to with a stern to wharf, instead of rafting all the yachts along side of each other and having to clamber over everyone else's yacht to get ashore. Working our way down to greece.

Getting browner by the day

07 June 2013 | Sardinia
Tracey
Worked our way down the west coast of Corsica and by far the biggest attraction on that side of Corsica has to be Bonefacio. The rest was very much the same with only a few bays to stop in. Bonefacio was lovely, with all the houses high on the hill over looking the marina. We then moved down to Sardinia to Santa Theresa where we dropped off Dale & Elaine, who were going on to Alghero to explore the old town and Neptunes Grotto. We have made our way round to Madalena Island and today going to explore the expensive delights of Porto Cervo. Do some shoulder rubbing with the rich & famous. Then making our way back to Corsica tomorrow.

A little warmer

Arrives in Corsica about 1pm, Sailed through the night, not too rough though a little cold. We have friends Dale & Elaine on board and Dale helped Richard with the night watch. Anchored for a few hours in Calvin and we are now moving down to Ajaccio to hopefully anchor in a bay there. It is definitely a little warmer so hoping summer is about to arrive. Some useless info Napoleon Bonaparte was born in Ajaccio.

About:
We have bought a Sun Odyssey 45.2 and is called Why Not. Richard is going to be Captain, (with my permission) and I am going to be cook,navigator and chief bottle washer. So if we get lost, it will be my fault and I will have to walk the plank, especially now that he thinks he is Jack Sparrow. [...]
Extra: Hoping to hear from anyone who is experiencing a similar adventure or just interested in following our blog.
