Navigation #62 Porto Ercole-Civitavecchia, getting closer to Rome
We visited Porto Ercole early morning. It's a Spanish influenced city since the 17th century. That's also where painter Caravaggio died after he fled Rome. We visit before heading back to the boat for a long navigation! We were supposed to navigate 20 NM and moor today. But the swell decided otherwise. After 4h we decided to continue our route towards Rome. We ended up getting a berth at Civitavecchia, the port of Rome. our first time in an industrial port. It took at least 20 mn to get to the end of this long port, passing by huge cruising ships. We navigated 35 NM in 7hours.
