day 5 - aug 9th - my birthday!

we spent the day in port, while vince cleaned the boat and worked on the engine and barbie and i toured the town. i bought them a nice red runner rug for downstairs, and some clear goggles for me (which are fantastic - wish i could find this brand here!). i did my post card duties, and we had my birthday dinner at the marina restaurant, with only ok dessert pastries from a local shop.

my first real look at a pretty italian town:


the road begins (and ends?!) here:

[in medias res] in sardegna!

flew in tuesday morning where b & v piced me up at the airport. spent the day napping on the boat while they grocerey shopped, then out to good sushi dinner and the night in the cagliari port. weds sailed out and anchored in a beautiful bay by a port with fancy houses on shore and good swimming. thursday up the coast to a pretty little beach where we anchored for the night. friday sailed again, no wind, motored up the coast to and ended up in arbatax for fri and sat night. tomorrow we're off north again. having lots of fun, here are some pics! sorry if they're sideways.
