    Gurgazu, Golfe de Sant Amanza

    October 16, 2019 in France ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    Forecast wasn’t great so after our time in Vecchio we headed south stopping for lunch and a dip in Golfe de Rondinara, an almost idyllic horseshoe bay but it was still experiencing swell and the A’s winds due to pick up again we continued South into Golfe de Santa Amanza where there were a few other yachts waiting for the winds to ease off. One poor Frenchman had to set his anchor at least three times, we think was a bit small, he kept dragging. On our way to the anchorage we noticed a couple of tugs and a patrol boat off the coast further south but didn’t know what they were up to at the time. Luckily the wind the next day wasn’t quite as bad as we had feared so John was happy to go for a walk, we got to Bonifacio 70 mins later and after walking up to the old town we had a lovely set menu near the port before walking back a less direct but far more scenic route. Should be back here with the boat soon.Read more
