Up really early with a view to leaving as soon as we can. The weather is very nice. All blue sky. The forecast is for absolutely no wind, so it looks like it
will be a motoring day. At least
we had a reasonable sailing day yesterday.
As expected we motored all day.
The sea was like glass. It all reminded me of the day we crossed the
Irish Sea, except we did not see any dolphins. That is a disappointment because we understand that these
waters are supposed to be a reserve for dolphins and whales.
We get to the Island of Capraia.
It is in the same group as Elba, but it is small. We had the impression from the pilot
book that the harbour took only a limited number of boats, and was rather
basic. So we are surprised to find
a very organised place with room for at least 50 boats and electricity and
water. When we get here it is
fairly empty, but we are surprised how many boats come in during the afternoon.
The island only has one town, which is on the hill above the
harbour. We walk up. There isn’t much to see, but it is cute. There is an old castle, but it is only
open in the mornings.
So back to the boat for the afternoon. We want to leave very early tomorrow because we have 43
miles to do to get to a port on Corsica.
We do have one problem though.
We can’t really make much of a lunch without bread and the only shop
that sells it doesn’t open until 8:30am.
So we shall see how we get on.
