My next crew consisting of four competent and well-trained ladies arrived in Marina di Stabia on August 17th 2013. We celebrated the start of our cruise with a delicious fish dinner at
Piazetta Milu. Next day we sailed via
Golfo di Sorrento to Capri, where we anchored south of Marina Piccola and I cooked my well-tried
Risotto al Limone.
Next day we sailed east via Positano to Amalfi, where we again moored at Aniello Esposito's place and had dinner at
Ristorante Il Mulino.
In the morning, after a good breakfast at the traditional
Pasticceria Pansa and some shopping we sailed northwest to the small harbor of
Marina di Chiaiolella. We enjoyed a good dinner at
Ristorante Crescenzo.
Next morning we went to Procida town by bus and visited the castle and the old churches. After a swim we tacked northwest to
Ventotene, where we anchored east of the harbor. Because of high waves and a lot of northeasterly wind it was not advisable to use the dinghi for landing, so we stayed onboard. Next morning the wind decreased and we sailed back to the south coast of
Ischia, where we stopped for a nice swim at Maronti Beach.
In the evening we sailed further east to Ischia Ponte and anchored again south of Castello Aragonese, where we savoured a nice local dinner at
Da Ciccio. On August 23rd we sailed back to Marina di Stabia for the last crew change, where we celebrated this nice cruise with my crew at
Ristorante President with a delicious menu accompanied by a local tenor, who gave a concert in nearby Piazza Schettini in Pompei.
We sailed 168sm in 39 hours. You may download our
