Wednesday 18 May
Left Calvi into brisk north westerly winds which werent quite what we had in mind which slowed us up although we only planned to go a short way along the coast to Ile Rousse. We were intrigued to be called on the radio almost as soon as we left Calvi to be asked where were we going, length of boat and how many passengers. We assumed that it was the coastguard but never have we been so checked up on - fortunately we werent attacked by Corsican pirates.
By 1.30 p.m. we arrived at the marina at Ile Rousse - there was one space available so we took it - the place was more or less deserted and although there was a Captainerie office there was no sign of anyone despite the fact that we kept returning to check in. We gave up in the end and went for a walk to the town and the lighthouse and spent a very quiet night.
