Third time was not a charm…

Since we were awaken so early we decided to head back around Capri and visit the Blue Grotto…again.  The seas were flat so we were sure today was going to be the day (we have tried twice before but the seas were too swelly and they close it down).  We arrived to a mass confusion of tour boats filled with tourists and a few small row boats that take you inside the Grotto.  I was trying to wave them down to pick me up but since I was a loner passenger (John was going to stay on Jay Sea Dee while I went in and then we would trade off) nobody even noticed.  There was too much boat and crowd activity for our comfort level so we decided to forgo the Grotto again:

Rounding the Island of Capri was beautiful.  We enjoyed our day regardless of our Blue Grotto experience.  With the flat seas, we saw a few more Sunfish…always an awesome site.

Now in the Tyrrhenian Sea we sailed on to Positano.  We had driven the Amalfi Coast with the kids just a week ago and were anxious to see it by boat.  We found an anchorage at the foot of Positano.  It is still a bit rolly but we are hoping it calms down this evening after the traffic stops.  The town is beautiful from the sea.  It reminds me a lot of Cinque Terrre.  We can see the bus/car/scooter traffic above that we maneuvered through last week.

Last night it was rocking and rolling…very rough…no sleep.
