18th May

The wind died away in the late evening and for the first time we spent a peaceful night at anchor. The winds today were light or nonexistent so we took the opportunity to motor through the Strait of Bonifacio to head west down the northern coast of Sardinia. On the other side of the Strait is Corsica, only six miles away. By early evening we were in the marina of Castelsardo under the buildings of the old town and castle. We have now almost circumnavigated Sardinia, a total of 400 miles over the last two weeks.
