Southeastern Corsica surprise village with brand new harbour.
Not (yet)( overbuilt, clean and good shelter. Wind picked up again.
Marla dropped a winch-kurbel during harbour maneuvers today:-(
Probably last stop along way to Bonafaccio.

Enchanting ancient cliffhanger hilltop at the southern most spot of Corsica.
Hectic beautifully set harbor.
Was well worth the stop!!!
No chance upon arrival for berth ,but the calanque Catena offers cheap mooring stern-to-cliffs.
Mishap: we paired up with another Sailboat who kinda just dropped the line when they left!
Alls well that ends well.Read more

Well sheltered Corsican town - no late Ramba zamba. Authentic.
Long harbor - as most in Corsica , the Corsican ferries are omnipresent, UT here not 24/7.
Enjoyed a day here to wash some clothes, rinse down the boat, clean, shop and eat a grilled Dorade for lunch.
Leaving at 7 am for a run up to Cargese.Read more

Charming hillside town overlooking western side , harbour and sea.
Sunday night in post-season wasn't ideal to find a restaurant open at 5pm for dinner....so we had a beer and dingy'd back to the Anchorage. Cooked and ate on board to a beautiful sunset.
Made a test tie-up at the gas ⛽️ to see how shallow it really was. Was closed.till 8 am.
At 07:45 already carefully backed up and waiting for the service chap. All good - 66.liters. our fuel Guage always shows full bcuz of the way the fuel tank lies-:(Read more
