Sail! A Sail!
Our long trip to Gaeta turned out to be a glorious sail with the wind on our quarter. Five hours of pure pleasure, when we sat back and rode the wind letting the autopilot take the strain. I felt sorry … Continue reading
Brava Capitano, Brava!
In order to avoid arriving in Cassamicciolla during the luncheon void, we had quite a leisurely start to the day and then puttered across the windless bay under engine. At first the log was not working, which annoyed John as … Continue reading

The sail from Denia to Valencia was as pleasant as the sail into Denia had been grim. We set off before nine and called in at the fuel dock to fill up again. John is impressed by how much the … Continue reading
To Denia
The crossing to Denia is the shortest distance from the Islands to the mainland. Even so it is fifty odd miles and we were up and off early. We could have been earlier still, but delayed to refuel, when the … Continue reading
Return to San Antoni
Today the sea was as different again, even though the wind was still blowing between forces three and four. We planned to go round the bottom of the island back to San Antoni, which was a fair distance, so we … Continue reading
Eventually to Santa Eulalia
Our last night at Cabrera was distinctly rocky and as we set out the sea was pushing us along till we were surfing meter high waves. Such a sea state is considered to be moderate, but the standard is set … Continue reading
