Yoga as the bay wakes
A quiet session on the shore. Flat water, no one else awake yet.
Morning anchorage · 40°55'12"N 9°33'48"E
A first swim
Straight off the stern. The water is cooler than the air, for now.
Morning anchorage · 40°55'11"N 9°33'49"E
Breakfast is ready on board
The table is set in the cockpit. Coffee, fruit, warm bread, sun on your back.

Sails up
We leave the bay under sail and head north along the coast.
Under way · 40°57'40"N 9°36'02"E
Anchor at the swim stop
A small cove with sand underneath. The chain runs out, the boat settles.
Swim stop · 41°01'05"N 9°38'27"E
Paddleboarding
Boards in the water. Along the rocks, into the caves, back for a jump.
Swim stop · 41°01'06"N 9°38'25"E
Lunch at anchor
Prepared while you dry off. Long, unhurried, in the shade.
Swim stop · 41°01'06"N 9°38'25"E
A nap in the shade
The afternoon does what afternoons at sea do.
Swim stop · 41°01'06"N 9°38'25"E
Sail to the last anchorage
The afternoon breeze carries us to the evening bay. Nowhere to be.
Under way · 41°04'50"N 9°40'12"E
Anchor down
The bay is ours. The light starts to turn.
Evening anchorage · 41°07'21"N 9°41'55"E
A read on the bow
A book, a glass of something cold, the hull ticking as it cools.
Evening anchorage · 41°07'21"N 9°41'55"E
Last dip, then dressing for dinner
One more swim in gold water. Showers on deck, linen shirts.
Evening anchorage · 41°07'21"N 9°41'55"E
Dinghy to shore
Five minutes across the bay. I drop you at the quay.
Harbour quay · 41°07'48"N 9°42'20"E
Up through the village
Stone steps, bougainvillea, the smell of dinner from open doors.
Harbour village · 41°07'52"N 9°42'26"E
Dinner together
A restaurant we know well. The table is yours for the evening.
Harbour village · 41°07'53"N 9°42'27"E
Dinghy back to the boat
No lights on the water except ours.
Across the bay · 41°07'35"N 9°42'05"E
Night on the water
The anchor light, the shore lights, and nothing between.
Evening anchorage · 41°07'21"N 9°41'55"E
Stargazing, then bed
Lie back on the trampoline. The Milky Way straight up — and the boat rocks you to sleep.
