11th September

We were at the small marina where we hope to leave Imagine for the winter. I went to the office and met Umberto, Giorgio, Bobo and Eugenio the dog. Everything was possible but no details were forthcoming. Welcome to Italy.

We motored across the bay to the historic city of Alghero and moored at the town quay underneath the old city walls. After lunch and a brief siesta we took a tourist boat to the local caves, the Grotta di Nettuno. They are in the next bay and the boat motors up to the entrance. The alternative is a vertiginous 654 step staircase steeply descending the cliff face. After the caves we had a beer in the old town, found a supermarket and ate onboard.
