Pipedream safely arrives in Procida, north end of the Gulf of Naples. It is supposed to be pretty untouched by tourists but the marina is pretty darn high class and 92 euros a night. There is a honking big forth or castle on the hill as you pull into this place well have to go check it out. We had a great sail up across the Gulf and hit 8.2 knots at one point.

We more or less sailed up here with another American boat, Beaver, from Boston. Looks like we are having problems with the main VHF radio. I have three different radios on board. One did not transmit clearly - likely a bad coax cable, my Icom hand held needed a battery charge, and the cheap ones I bought to use on dingy didn't seem to have enough power... go figure.

We are going for a walk around the town and then do dinner - cheese burger in paradise! More later.
