As we approached Bastia, we decided to take the tender off its Davies and put in on the foredeck. Once done, we set up Arctura for our energy to Vieux Port Bastia. The marina entrance is pretty narrow and even once in space is of a premium. Calling the harbour master, who spoke no English, was simply told to moor up on the right. As usual, no one to assist, but evenly someone came out to help as they saw that we were struggling in the cross wind.

Both tired after our night sail, we decided to host the sack for a few hours of well deserved sleep.

The harbour is small but full of restaurants and coffee shops. We were recommended a restaurant called Cote Marine, which was cheap and cheerful. A three course meal for €19.95. An early night and to newer pastures tomorrow. NOT SURE WHAT YET.
