Calvi, Corsica

Saturday 14 May

Beautiful warm sunny day in Calvi, Corisca. Left Port de Frejus on the south coast of France early on Friday 13 and took just over 13 hours to get to here at 19.45 p.m. There was no one to greet us and plenty of room which we were very relieved about as we had found it quite difficult along the south coast of France again even at this time of the year and couldnt go to Cannes as we had hoped because of the Film Festival. We were pleased to leave the south of France behind us. FF. We had a good crossing although I made the mistake of having a shower after we had got underway and that finished me off for at least the first six hours but that did mean I had coffee, lunch and tea made for me. I must remember this for the next long voyage!

We had a passenger for a little while who looked absolutely exhausted and in need of a little rest.

Calvi is very pretty although quite a tourist trap and we get the impression that it is absolutely heaving in the height of the season. It is just right as it is at the moment though.
Latest plan is to stay here for a couple of nights, although I have just checked the wind and it is going to be very strong through tomorrow which will leave Monday a little frisky - so will probably stay til Tuesday when we are going to head towards Ajaccio and then back here and along the coast for the end of next week so we can catch up with Matt and Hev next Sunday - so exciting.
