Very happy. Reached a milestone.
Below: Susanne and her friend Susanne. In order to distinguish the two we nicknamed them A-Hoernchen and B-Hoernchen. Chris and Susanne sailed with us from Spain to Sete.
Docked in the industrial port of Sete.

We got vaccinated some days ago here in Sicily. Thanks to the Italians treating us as foreigners with so much friendliness and vaccinate us without being resident. Thank you!
Today we are leaving this friendly island. A bit with a sad eye, but also happy to go sailing. We had a good time here. Great would be to visit Sicily without the ‘C’ thing.
We are heading to Carloforte on the southwestern tip of Sardinia. Our route is nearly direct 350nm equating to 2days, 15 hours.
Weather forecast is mostly light winds, except for the end. We hope to get into Carloforte before it blows.
We plan to sneak along the Sicilian coastline westbound. But have to be careful. There are some shallow areas. On the plus side, on this route we have less ship traffic.
The heavy ship traffic requires constant attention 24h.
And… our intrepid Navigator Remy will help us to make excellent decisions.
We are settling into the Spanish lifestyle, active in the mornings and evenings.
Mid-day it’s hot and humid and all stores, restaurants etc are closed from 14:00h to 17:00h or later.
Yesterday evening we sorted and marked all our ropes plus a glas of local Rose wine.
