31st August 2011 Having got some sleep in the bank during the day,
we left I. Piana at 22.10 local time. Although, what wind there was, was coming
from the west it was insufficient to fill a sail, so we settled down to a 50
mile motor. Without a moon, the sky was a ceiling studded with diamonds.
Jupiter rising into the sky in front of our bows just before
midnight. Apart from a couple of trawlers working (green over white
lights) and a cruise liner (far too many lights) there was little evidence of
any other traffic. Fortunately, the sea being calm did little to impede our
progress, so when we arrived at our intended destination (Capo Testa) at
07.00 we decided to press on to Liscia, before the forecast wind turned
against us.
Arrived at the bay of Liscia just before 10.00
local time and settled for anchoring in 4 meters oover sand off its
southern shore. A delightful spot. Only a couple of superyachts and a couple of
other "ordinary" yachts for company. Bags of space for
everyone.
Sardinia has turned out to be far less crowded than
expected. Just hope that I haven't spoken too
soon!
