Well, I have arrived in Cagliari.
Great uneventful flight with great views.

Mast Clmbing
It’s a hard life and after Edward treating me to cake and coffee Edward gave me my next task for the morning. Preventative maintenance which involved mast Climbing. So up I went.

First evening in Cagliari
The first sunset in Cagliari was beautiful and we promptly set off to see or wonderful friends Marta and Massimo to a pizza “Il Gallo D’oro”
Over dinner we are making plans for a sail in convoy, plans to be confirmed. Watch this space.
Another Day
Well after many hours of planning, whether to go to Carloforte or Bosa we decided to stay with our friends at the anchorage.
It wasn’t a hard decision, beautiful sun and sea, but above all the company of our Italian friends.

Testing of my new underwater Olympus camera. Setting of anchor, Me snorkelling and sea grass.
Anchoring in Tuerredda
We set sail from Cagliari with our two, wonderful Italian friends and decided to head for an anchorage in Tuerredda.
A very windy start and we were ploughing through the waves at a rate of over 7 knots.
We invited our Italian friends to Arctura for some chicken Schnitzels, and after a wonderful evening ferried them back to their yacht by tender. Next day the invitation was reciprocated with a fantastic pasta follow bow chick hen curry.
Swimming and snorkelling in these wonderful water was a pleasure and for October surprisingly warm.
