Carloforte - Isola San Pietro

After saying our goodbyes to Mallorca and Palma it was time for the 300nm leg to Sardinia, Thursday was just about as good as we could order on the wind and 11am saw Malcolm and myself head out for the two and a half day sail,
Typical Med weather provided some reasonable
wind during the afternoon with next to
nothing at night, with watches sorted every 4 hours
a reasonable sleeping pattern was formed.

Very quiet on deck with very little shipping
and a half moon gives a stunning insight into the warm night sky
with stunning sunrises and sunsets a mind could wander into infinity,

Carloforte was to be our landfall.
Located approximately 7 km from the
South Western Coast of Sardinia,
Carloforte
is a picturesque fishing village located on
Isola di San Pietro
(Saint Peter's Island).
World renowned for its tuna fish,
Carloforte maintains the intrigue of an ancient village with its pastel-coloured houses and cobbled streets.
