Central Mediterranean – CORSICA AND SARDINIA
We had planed our next leg to start in the north of Corsica and headed off from Menorca for a two night passage. During our first night we encountered pretty boisterous sea conditions which had not been forecast so instead headed for Sardinia, an Italian island. Here we dropped our anchor for a few days to let things settle. We intended to explore Corsica, a French island before spending time in Sardinia and did not want to initiate the Italian check in process just yet. Entry and movement in Italian ports is somewhat more cumbersome and we hoped to enter only once.
