Internet connection has always been a bit iffy, but
on the recommendation of Matz & Lena (Gracilia 2) we've got an
italian 3G dongle. So far it's been pretty good. Certainly for emails
although sometimes a bit slow for video. Skype, for example, does stretch
its capabilities with video. Whilst Skyping Mandi, Grant and Skye
yesterday evening images kept freezing. Still much better than nothing
though.
Set off from Liscia at 09.30 with hardly a breath
of wind. As we weighed anchor the sandy bottom so clear that Footloose appeared
to be hovering in mid air. A gentle motor around the coast line led to the Golf
di Arachazena. Taking the advice of Lance and Alia (Catouse) we anchored of
Cannigioni in 3.5 meters, over sand & weed. This area is a cruising
paradise. Lots of islands, big and small. Bays, large and small and beaches to
suite the gregarious or those seeking solitude. Passed the "Maltese Falcon"
anchored off the south of I. Capriro. What an impressive boat. Pity she's a
monohull!
Hope to go ashore later, hit the local
supermarket and see what facilities exist.
