    Zuljana to wolf Ston. Continuing our journey south we headed to South Ston now renamed wolf Ston because of the wolves we heard at night time. Recording uploaded 🥹. It’s good to relax with the crazy Saffers ✨

    Srebreno to Otok Lokrum to Uvala Lapad. The day has arrived and so many tears. Finally Tristan is with me on GypsyDjango. I also get to meet his friends. This is a dream come true. A stop at Lokrum opposite Dubrovnik Old Town and then to Uvala Lapad so they can go to explore.

    Korcula to Lumbarda Marina to Wolf Ston. After getting water at Lumbarda - a big day out getting to hide out from strong winds at Wolf bay. Lots of fun with water sports and braais and catching Vian in the neck.

  • Uvala Lapad

    September 9, 2022 in Croatia ⋅ 🌧 26 °C

    Ston Wolf to Uvala Lapad. An exhausting day on tacking into the wind and one that I have been dreading- returning to Dubrovnik and my last night with Tristan. This week has flown. I am heart sore. Tonight Kev and I went into Dubrovnik and the young ones partied.

  • Dubrovnik Port to Sicily Naxos

    September 11, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    Goodbye Tristan, goodbye Croatia. It’s been exhausting but we are ready to head on. Four nights and a 2am arrival. A good crossing of sunrises and sunsets with winds dictating that we keep going until the final day where we engined into the winds. I love night crossings. Our pattern of 3 hour shifts is working. It’s always good to see dolphins even if it’s only for a brief while.Read more

  • Messina Marina Gallico

    September 18, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    Giardini Naxos to Marina Gallico. After an exceptional experience to cycle on mount Etna the active Volcano for 7 hours 😅 we left the next morning- more than a little broken to sail with un forecast perfect winds across the Messina to a spot ready for the exiting the Messina in the morning with favourable currents. Also access to Lidl with less than a kilometre walk.

  • Volcano Porto Di Ponente

    September 19, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    Messina Marina to Volcano Porto Di Ponente. What an exciting sailing experience. 11.1 knots max speed - reefed. What was supposed to be a windless journey turned into a good sailing day out. The Messina Strait journey was without a hitch. Arriving in sunset to the Island Volcano was a unbelievable gift. A hike a bike to the top of the volcano was hard but such a special thing to be able to do. This life is wonderful 😊. The ups definitely beat the downs - certainly it does today.

  • Sardegna Arbatax

    September 21, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    Volcano to Sardenga Arbatax. A hard journey of being knocked around and slight nausea. We are here at Arbatax for a few days with the weather conditions- things have certainly changed with the new season. We had an opportunity to ride some amazing technical singletrack in the mountains (hills 😜). We have finally chosen a winter home. Port Roses in Girona. So we will head south and our next island will be Menorca.

    Cala Goloritze to Cala Ganone. A good place to access shops after exploring the gorge. A seven four day with 1409m climbing for. 750m gorge hike which wasn’t free. Again the swell was atrocious and the winds very strong.

    Cala Luna to Arbatax. Back to Arbatax to get some sleep away from the swell. Very strong winds against us. A 5am start to get a head start. A beautiful trip along the way. Anchored in the same place next to the breakwater wall, went into the marina to get water and do washing.

    Sardegna Tuerredda Est to Menorca Mao. Back in Spain. Light winds from behind and 50 % engine. Good to be in our second home and one to winter at till Jan. No dolphins on this trip but no traffic either!! Time to swap the Italian flag for the Spanish one. Aside from food this is how we know we have changed countries.
