12 July – Departed Palinuro at 1130hrs after a brief excursion in the dinghy to get supplies. On way to Cetraro. Very light winds, almost mill pond conditions. Under motor.

 

11 July – after departing Amalfi at 1230hrs we made our way in light winds  40 degrees apparent, sails main and jib for a close reach under motor sail, SOG 8.4kns, on a bearing to Palinuro. We arrived at Palinuro and laid anchor, just north east of Marina Di Palinuro at 1850hrs. Very calm conditions in about 7 metres of very clear water over sand.

 

Matt went for his obligatory plus 1km swim, I chose to swim to the rocks and back. Later on after a G&T we headed into the small town of Palinuro with the dinghy and made our way to a very good restaurant. Excellent service and food with pricing reflecting the lower tourist activity. Very attractive surroundings with very few yachts present.
