PortoVecchio

Here are some photos from our walk around the historic old town of Porto Vecchio. The old part was lovely and had some beautiful looking shops, cafes and restaurants we ate a delicious lunch set menu before moving down the hill to the new town to do some grocery shopping. As we were anchored quite a distance from the harbour next to the island on the southern side we used the outboard but for whatever reason it kept cutting out not a problem as restarted each time and wind blowing us into shore anyway, on the way back it was windier and took a while to get engine started but once it did we got most of the way before it stopped and John rowed rest of the way. Once safely onboard John thought he better do a bit of investigative work on the outboard, all was going well until the reconstruction phase when he dropped the little black rubber diaphragm overboard! We won’t be using the outboard again until we find a replacement! Take Five can be seen, just, in both the sea view photos.Read more
