Underway Again in 2021!



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.

  1. Moin Ihr Beiden,
    schön zu sehen, dass ihr wieder unterwegs seid!

    Gute Fahrt und vielleicht passt ja was im September/ Oktober, dann sind wir wohl Richtung Côte d’Azur und Korsika unterwegs…

    Liebe Grüße
    Angelika und Thomas

Carloforte. Italy like we imagined it.Carloforte. Italy like we imagined it.

Small Island. Ferry connections only. Colorful buildings. No big box stores. No brand name chains. All buildings two stories high or less. Every little store felt like the time eons ago when the world consisted of small things. Zoomed back in time.

This post contains picture galleries to flip through. Words fail to describe, but somehow even pictures fail. Being here is the thing.

Small is beautiful!
Below is Italy’s answer to the Dodge Ram. Fits perfectly into every narrow alley, supplying stores and restaurants through the backdoor.

Walk Downtown
First walk around downtown and trying to get lost 🙂

Fresh Food
When we came out of quarantine, the first order of the day was replenishing fresh food onboard LUNARA. What a pleasant experience. Even though the shopping atmosphere is eery with face-masks everywhere. Post Corona, normal times will return. We can imagine how lovely shopping and tasting fresh food next year will be.

Are we in heaven?

Small Church:
Another day we discovered this small church downtown. The colors outside match tastefully with the surroundings and the blue sky. Inside, everything was perfect pastels.
