The most amazing night sail, the moon was casting a wonderful light over the
water and tranquelizer was making 6kts. There were thunderstorms all around
us giving a great light display, we managed to miss most of the rain and
stay under a patch of clear sky. It only lasted a few hours, before the wind
changed and we were once again motoring with the wind on the nose and some
quite heavy seas, at times bringing our speed down to 3kts. The morning was
brightened by a pod of dolphines playing near the boat, there were about 6
of them that stayed for a few minutes. We are now motor sailing north in the
hope of a fair breeze to Cagliari later. We have just passed the island of
di Ustica while tucking into a lunch of cheese, salami and tomato rolls,
wonderful !
