Iles Lavezzi

Winds have eased so we decided to head out to one of the Corsican Marine Reserves Iles Lavezzi. After we cleared the headland from our anchorage we realised that there were even more tugs out here than we had seen the first time, then we noticed a cargo boat in an odd location and it all made more sense. The ‘Rhodanus’ had run aground and the tugs and patrol boat were waiting to see if they were needed and securing the area! OK enough excitement we head to Cala Lazarina on Lavezzi, it was beautiful, there were a few people around when we arrived but they had all left by 4:30 leaving only the boats at anchor. The island was a mass of bizarre rock formations from elephant rock, we kayaked around the island and I am sure we could have rented out the kayaks many times over, we got a lot of jealous glances.
