Navigation #112 Vieste-Rodi Garganico

Image
  The whole trip was windless. 16.8NM in 4h45 at 3.5 knots average. We filled up the gas tank at arrival. The village was desertic.

Navigation #111 Vignanotica-Vieste

Image
  We sailed 20NM in 4 hours at 4.7 knots average. It was a rough see with strong 21 knots wind. We peaked at 7 knots cruising speed. And the arrival at the port was a bit difficult as we needed to berth a different way.

Navigation #110 Trani-Vignanotica, serenpidity

Image
  We were supposed to go to Vieste Port to seek shelter but we stopped at Vignanotica and it was for the best as this place is beautiful!! We sailed 7h40 mn with 21 knots wind gusts, Average speed is 5,2 knots and we did 38.5 NM. We hoisted the jib due to the unplanned wind. Such a beautiful beach with grottos!!

Navigation #109 Bari-Trani

Image
  Boring sailing day, 4,32 knots average speed, which is great. We arrived in 6h40 and did 28 NM. We'll navigate a lot these next days, need to get out of Italy, we stayed here way too long :) Good surprise, we were the only ones mooring in front of the port, and the night was filled with fireworks. Felt like it was just for our eyes.

Navigation #107 Monopoli-Polignaro a Mare, beautiful grottos

Image
  It was just 5 NM in 1h 15 at 3 knots. Not much wind but as it was short it's not too bad. We stopped in front of the grottos to visit them before heading towards a mooring site next to the port. How short stay at Polignaro a Mare, Nico didnt even visit but stayed in the boat just in case. 

Navigation #106 Brindisi-Monopoli, we picked up our friend Caro

Image
  40 NM in 9h50 and 4 knots average. Happy with the 360 camera I have just bought at Brindisi! Can finally shoot wide angle videos of the boat, with our friend from Hong Kong onboard for 5 days. It was a long navigation... she wasnt used to that... as we only did short navigations when island hopping with her and the kids in Sardinia. The visit of Monopoli here below

Navigation #103 Marina Felloniche- Marina di Castro, boring!

Image
  No wind today, speed of 3.3 knots, for just 15 NM in 4h40. Boring. We visited Castro
