It was rubbish. Only kidding... it looked like THIS!

Cala Santa Maria

Firstly, you deliver a white sand bottom, which allows my anchor to dig into you and grip like Elnett on a ballerina bun. Then you mesmerise my mermaid, salt water gypsy soul with your insanely addictive blue. Blue. Blue...

Levazzi Islands

For all our Jersey crew, imagine a larger version of the Echrehous, crawling with tourists. As we were scoping out the busy situation we scored big time as another boat departed leaving us with their anchor spot, which seem to be as rare as hens teeth.

Santa Giulia Bay

Its so warm around this SE corner of Corsica that falling in the tepid water is far from breathtaking, the only thing taking your breathe away is the view!

Bay of San Ciprianu, Corsica

The beaches looked stunning so we started with the bay of San Cipriano. We anchored in 5m depth with a good holding on a sandy bottom. The water was so clear it was hard not to think we were too shallow.

Bastia, Corsica

July 15, 2015/ Charlie Smith

It was only a six hour crossing from Elba into the french waters of Corsica, and our first port of call in Corsica was Bastia. There wasn't too many boats around so we sailed in our birthday suits... love the freedom of the ocean!

Golfo di Vetticio, Elba

July 13, 2015/ Charlie Smith

We were lulled from our boat by the dulcet tones of the italian's having a party. Mojito in hand, the party turned out to be the Med equivalent of a barn dance. Which all the locals knew the lines to...

Portoferraio, Elba

Elba was a pleasant surprise. Elegant, relaxed, and without a hint of posh. I don't ever recall meeting anyone who had been on holiday to Elba. They are all missing out.
