40:03.07N 1:29.36E Tuesday 30 September Further N with more fine weather and super views of mountainous coast to pretty harbour of Scario Depart Cetraro 0510 Arrive Scario 1415 39nm M5.5 S3.5 Cloudless day; crystal clear views – variable wind, as yesterday! Skip gets all togged up again. Same routine. Full sails making 4+knts with SE land breeze. The pattern seems to be land breeze first thing, dying, then W seabreeze early afternoon till sun loses it`s power. Land breeze fades, light patches then nothing late morning. Today a SW afternoon breeze 1315 giving 4 and occasional 5knts broad reach. Have to move chartplotter on from “Adriatic” to “Tyrrhenian Sea”. Arrive pretty Scario. Lots of space. Laid lines again. Pilot says need to book a space way ahead in summer. Friendly lady in Marc Bleu coop office run berths with elect but no water (has been turned off)and no loos/showers. 40euros. High soft mountains to N and E, 1224m just 3nm away, others 1461m, 1783m and 1541m, so quite tall. Bells every 1/4hr from church – bearable. Harbour wall recently built up another 5ft – must get some big storm waves as massive fetch to W. Nice sm. Beer in fairly empty waterside bar – expensive. This is Italy. |
