Macinaggio

A lovely day walking through the very small town of Macinaggio, along the beach and up the hills. This area has rolling hills and beaches between. There are lots of hiking trails so we wandered inland after crossing the town beach (where we might have anchored) then came above the next beach over. We came back along the sea cliffs - a very rocky path and back to the town. We decided to go in the dinghy to the other beach. The dinghy is folded up like a surfboard so there is a bit of work required to set it up: unfold and prop open, put the 3 seats in, lift it into the water and Bob puts the engine on while balancing. It's quite heavy without the engine so we use a halyard with me cranking the winch💪 while Bob steadies it. Off we went, passing some jellyfish, to see an islet with a tower and then to the beach where there is a beach bar/cafe. The bar was busy and there were others sunbathing, walking, a group of hikers setting off, and a few swimmers but by no means was it crowded. I eventually got my nerve up and ventured in. It was refreshing and lovely and the day was hot enough not to feel cold when we came back motoring in the dinghy. A fun day.Read more
