Nice to Italy Molo Cavour

😭 Where do I begin. After being battered by 1.5m waves breaking over our bow at anchor yesterday late and an emergency engine into the sheltered bay next door, we proceeded to be hit with 35 knot catabatic winds arriving at 10pm. A 1 am to 4 am shift watching the anchor while constantly checking the wind reports which were reporting nothing. Imagine our surprise to find smooth calm seas when leaving the bay early this morning - in order to sail 9 hours to Italy as the French Riviera are being nailed with BF8 gale winds today.

Sailing is not for sissies.

Sad goodbye France - hello Italy !!
