Calvi Corsica Monday, September 22, 2008

Saturday morning and it's time for night sailing. 112 distance to Calvi - Corsica lies before us. A journey that became rich. It began with bright sunshine but still the wind from the front as engine had to work. A little sailing was available. Dolphins swimming and jumping at the bow. Tuna jump farther. A feeling that is wonderful. All this changed at 0330 - it blows up and suddenly shows wind sensor 17.5 m / s and the waves begin to be 3m high. Yes we had reefed. We arrive tired but. Calvi is found to be a fantastic picturesque town with many narrow streets and a large citadel. Lord Nelson lost one eye at the battle of Calvi Nappe was born in Corsica - the end of today's history lesson. Tomorrow we sail on towards Girolata.
