      To Rome

      September 10, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

      Our alarm wakes us up at 6.30 in Ponza in preparation for the 10 hour passage to Ostia, the nearest port to Rome. A check on the weather forecast shows heavy thunderstorms all over the Italian coast. We stay put and watch lightning and rain roll through the anchorage. The conditions for travelling tomorrow aren’t great either. Today is Thursday and we have 3 days accommodation booked in Rome from Saturday. Ronan checks the forecast again at 10am and the update shows that the worst of the lightning has moved inland. ‘Right, let’s go for it’ and we head out into a grey sea and heavy sky.
      There’s a swell on our stern quarter and the boat rolls uncomfortably from side to side. At times the clouds gather, looking angry and I wait for the sky to crack open with lightning. Mother Nature is kind to us today and holds her fire until we are safely tied up at the marina. It is already dark when we turn off the engine.
      Friday is for housekeeping but on Saturday once we are on the metro to Rome, we turn our tourist dial up to max.

      Rome and our summer work

      July 6, 2019 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

      We traveled from Ponza back to the mainland near Circeo and anchored up we are lucky the weather has been so calm allowing us to anchor as marinas in Italy this time of year would be over €100 a night. Next day we cruised along the coast with some pretty coastline to Anzio and anchored again, dinghy ride to shore for food but think John had a bit of sunstroke as felt really rough, he’s OK again now. While in Anzio we saw what we thought was a microlight and it was but it was fitted to a dinghy, sadly the photo isn’t very clear. From Anzio we continued north towards Rome and Take Fives home for the next two months while we head back to sunny but hopefully cooler Guernsey to do some work and earn some money, well I will be anyway. The marina is oK but the mosquitoes and biting flies are evil little bu**ers.
      Oh yes forgot to say when we used dinghy at Anzio I thought it smelt a bit so we decided to give it a full clean and then pack it up while we were away good job we did, when we lifted the inflatable floor there were three dead 4inch sardines umm lovely. Did my best to get rid of smell but we decided not to store dinghy inside during our absence!!
      See you all soon from Tuesday eve I will be available on my old Guernsey phone number let me know if you want to meet up.
