Arrivederci Roma

Kids made it home yesterday and we miss them already. We paid for our months berth and headed out. Today we sailed about 100 miles which took around 13 hours. We were pretty tired when we finally reached the Island of Ischia. The sun was about to set and the full moon was already out but we found a small area near the Port of Ischia and set anchor. It was very tight amongst all the fishing boats and pretty rolly due to all the ferry traffic so we set a stern anchor as well. We went to bed listening to three different karaoke bars and it must have been amateur night for sure :)

This morning we were up early thanks to the early ferry schedule and as we headed out we got a glimpse of the beaches and the early morning aquasize class. We rounded the corner and got a good view of the castle. In mythology the island was said to be inhabited by Typhoeus, a hundred-headed monster who was the father of Hydra.
