| Susannah moored at Olbia |
SATURDAY 11 - WEDNESDAY 15 JULY 2009
John & Denise from ‘Out of the Blue’ came over on Saturday evening when the wind had calmed down, and we finally managed to leave Porto Brandinghi on Sunday.
We piloted our way between the beautiful islands, including Isola Tavolara, to Olbia, where we tied up to the quay wall. Olbia is a lovely town with plenty of cafes and restaurants and a launderette, but they were so busy they couldn’t do any washing for over a week! There is also a well stocked supermarket close by. John & Denise arrived on Monday and we went out for a couple of meals with them. A 30 meter motor yacht came in stern-to but the Harbour Master insisted he come alongside. This involved shuffling several yachts, including us, to make a space large enough. The harbour master just stood there, so Roger and I helped the skipper tie up and he managed to get a 30 meter boat into a 34 meter space. He was very friendly and gave us a bottle of wine later on.
A strong wind was forecast for Tuesday so we stayed in Olbia and went to Golfo di Marinella on Wednesday, where we anchored. After putting up the wind scoops & hammock we went swimming and gave the hull a scrub. The water is a wonderful temperature.
OLBIA - 5 euros a night, we paid 10 euros for three nights
