Well, John and Eva announced this morning that they
were off, they had seen the Marina Office and understood that the first night is
free, wrong! They sailed off and the marinero was very upset and tried to
get me to pay their mooring fee, no chance, not only is the first night not
free, it is extremely expensive, now, I may be harping on about fees but Italy
is the most expensive country I have ever encountered for mooring fees, here, it
is 50 euros a night! that is just to tie up your boat and use the electric and
water, its crazy money. However, Italy is cheap for other stuff, we bought
cherries at 1 euro a kilo, plump little plum tomatoes, 1 euro a kilo, beautiful
fat white onions, 50 cents a kilo, local wine(haven't tried it yet!) 1 euro a
bottle. We are eating cheaply and well but the moment they know you have a boat
they seem intent on seperating you from your money. Tomorrow looks like
nice winds to sail to Vieste where we hope to anchor free for the night and then
do the 60 mile hop across to Latovo on Sunday, that will essentially be our
goal, Croatia!
