After leaving Bonifacio we were keen to find
somewhere off the beaten track. We first went to a place called
Pianotoli-Caldarello. To get to the anchorage we had to find our way
past numerous vicious rocks and then through a narrow channel. After that
we were faced with quite a small area for anchoring, so decided to do it
Mediterranean-style, using our anchor and then putting a stern line on a
convenient rock ashore (see the picture). This worked well and it was a
beautiful peaceful evening. Unfortunately the following morning, while we
were watching sea planes land very close to us, the wind rose to 22 knots
(abeam of the boat) and we started to drag the anchor. J had to swim
ashore and let off the stern line in a hurry!

We sailed around 30 miles North-West, to a place
called Campomoro. It is a beautiful bay on the West coast of Corsica, and
is very unspoilt. The village has a caribbean feel.
