Yesterday we sailed from Ste. Marie Navaresse back to Tavolara Island. We passed Cala di Luna which we were hoping to stop at along the way and do some dinghy cave explorations but it was PACKED. That really surprised us since the only way to get there is an 8 mile hike or by water…but the ferries just kept coming. We just enjoyed the view from the boat:
Last night we enjoyed another gorgeous sunset:
Today we had a very nice relaxing sail from Tavolara Island to Cala Di Volpe on the mainland Sardinia. We could see a lot of power boats from way in the distance and were wondering why it was so full here. Well, they have Mega Yacht Mooring Balls here so the Big Ones come here to moor. The number 9 and number 11 biggest personally-owned boats in the world are here. The #9 boat is called Al-Mirqab and is owned by an Arabian business man. Put all the boats here together and the price tag is well over a billion dollars. The funny thing is that this big boat only holds 10 passengers but over 20 crew. The one downside to this beautiful place is all the traffic from the tender boats (of which some are bigger than our boat) is rocking and rolling the “small” boats like us in the anchorage. Look at the play toys they have. John finds it great people watching through the binoculars!!! He is sure he spotted George Cloony and Kevin Costnar already….yeah right :)

If John looks hard enough he's sure to spot Elvis too!
Make sure to see Ostia Antica when in Rome. It's the ancient port of Rome. You can pretty much walk to it from the Marina. We missed it last time and everyone told us it was fantastic. The village of Ostia Antica is supposed to be charming as well.
We'll make sure and get there for sure. I have already printed out a map of the ruins as a guide. Thanks again.
