5th May

The sunrise was spectacular. We slipped the buoy and headed south. With little wind we motored on past Buggerru to the Isola di San Pietro and the marina of Carloforte. The bleak shore had little shelter and few signs of life. Apart from a few distant fishing boats we were all alone. Marinas are full of boats that never seem to leave but they had plenty of space for us. Lucinda was overjoyed as there was a washing machine. Later on our boat was draped with drying clothes. We then went ashore to see what this resort town had to offer. It is famed for its tuna restaurants. After wandering the streets and finding almost everything closed we had a pizza.
