Timelessness

Once again we have entered the world of "Timelessness" as we sway with the gentle movement of the wind and sea anchored here on the southern coast of Sardinia. Lapping waves, a cool breeze, aqua blue water, green hills, cloudless skies, rocky cliffs, seagulls......but mostly, timelessness.

Soooo, back to time. Our time in Alghero, Sardinia
where EcstaSea was wintered has been sweet. We felt like we were coming back home, to a place familiar where we enjoyed our favorite lasagne and sunset walks along the old seawall licking our coconut and chocolate gelatos.

EcstaSea was wonderfully tended to and taken
care of all winter by our friend Dominic.
Thank you Dominic--- we could never have made it without your generous help and communication skills.
EcstaSea was polished and waxed while out of the water and she sparkles like new. With just a few matters to tend to she was in the water and ready to sail on as were we.

We spent our first night at anchor at our favorite cove below Capo Caccio and slept like babies with the gentle rocking movement all night long. The wind and Yemaya have been extremely gentle with us as we are adapting to an ever moving home. So gentle, in fact with so little wind and waves we have had to motor down the west coast.

Our first day out we expressed our desire to see dolphins and there they were playing out a ways off of our portside stern. Well, the next day we were smart enough to ask them to come and play up close and personal with us and no more had we asked and there they were. Four big beautiful dolphins swimming at our bow, rolling over to look up at us as we hung over the sides getting as close as we could. We aren't quite sure what the proper dolphin language, is but we did our best as we whooped and hollered as they jumped out of the water and seemed to take as much delight in us as we did in them. The reminder for us: to ask specifically for what we want..........

So here we are bobbing at the southern end of Sardinia enjoying the timelessness before we embark on our adventure to Tunisia in a few days.
