We fuelled up in Vis and headed out across the Adriatic. There were strong headwinds so it was just motoring. We intended to stop at an interesting looking island called Palagruza, halfway across but it turned out to be a dangerous looking rock with a lighthouse. We decided to continue on to Manfredonia, Italy arriving after dark to anchor in as sheltered a spot as we could find off the port of Vieste. Almost immediately an Italian Customs RIB roared up a spent the next hour taking our details. Long day and a rolly night.
