La Caletta to Porto Brandinghi, Sardinia

This boat eventually moved!



MONDAY 6 – FRIDAY 10 JULY 2009

La Caletta is a holiday town where we managed to resupply, and left on Tuesday for a short (very slow) sail up to Porto Brandinghi, near Isola Tavolara. It is a very sheltered anchorage, which was just as well as we have been stuck here for four nights with winds of over 30 knots at times. It was too dangerous to get into the dinghy so we were stuck on the boat. An English couple we had met in La Caletta was anchored behind us but we could only wave at them. The only excitement was when the hill behind the beach caught fire and the fire planes were swooping down into the anchorage to collect water. In the end there were four fire planes and a helicopter.
