Traveling South

                                                                             After leaving Alghero, we took our time and traveled south along the west coast of Sardina stopping at night and anchoring in beautiful
                                                                             coves along the way. We anchored one night near an old mining town just near an outcropping of rock called Sugar Loaf.

     
       We went exploring in the dinghy into an archway in the rock and notice how magnificently turquoise blue the water was. The mine entrance was carved into the seaside cliffs. It was a beautiful anchorage and we rested well.
                                                         
        It is challenging to describe and pictures cannot capture it's essence.
           
                  
       









After 3 days traveling south we went into the port town of Carloforte on the island of San Pietro off of Sardinia. A picturesque town full of life and fun. We stayed several more days than we had planned as we heard there was a big festival. It is the Tuna (Tonno) festival as the fishermen bring in lots of fresh tuna and all along the seaside and city streets it would be cooked. So as the first night of the festival arrived we donned on our festive attire and went out to see the tuna. And all we saw was a concert in the town square with Tango dancing. Oh well…..when you can't understand Italian that's what happens. Tonno----Tango, pretty close, both start with a t and end with and o !!! So it wasn't "Dancing with the Stars" but "Dancing under the Stars". Okay, then we heard the Tuna would come the next night but we decided to move on.
                                                                                                           











But not till we visited the Vinoteria for some really cheap but good wine poured out of big vats into bottles. Surprisingly good wine…..                                                                                         

   


   It was a fun foray into a quaint little seaside village but then we move on south to anchor on the south side of Sardinia and wait for a good weather window to sail even further south to Tunisia. 
                           





We will sailing to Tunisia under the light of the full moon and what an opportunity to let the Light of the Mother help us shift our past negative stories about Tunisia and begin again, fresh and new with positive expectations.
Yes, we are thankful for the opportunity to "choose again"how we perceive and are excited to see what awaits us there.
