Left Porto Conte just before eight this morning,
rounded the massive headland of Capo Caccia and headed north up the west
coast of Sardinia towards the Fornelli passage. This passage, which is viable in
reasonably settled conditions, permits entry into the Golfo dell' Asinara by
avoiding the need to go around the Isola Asinara. A saving of around 20 miles if
approachong from the south.
Dropped the hook for a late lunch just off I.
Piana, which forms the south side of the Fornelli passage. The plan is to
stay here until late evening and then make a night pasage towards Capo Testa,
taking advantage of the last of a westerly wind, which is forecast to turn
easterly around midday tomorrow.
