When Dinghy’s Fly

Today we had a shorter sail and ended up on a free mooring SW of Scario in the Gulf of Policastro.  We were originally going to stay in an anchorage on Point Iscoletti but it was FULL…boats were rafted on the moorings four deep…not something we wanted to do.  So we headed down the coast and found these moorings and some locals told us they were free and rated for our size boat and they were for overnight use.  We began to question our informants as ALL the boats on the other moorings left us all by ourselves around 7pm but we stayed anyway.  There was a bit of a swell but nothing like Positano…until our 2nd night which was a nightmare…again no sleep.  It was a beautiful coastline although a bit creepy when we saw the cross in the rock right next to our mooring.

Day number two was just another day in the Mediterranean when what is this????  A Flying Dinghy!!!!  I’m not sure I would have believed it if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes.  And I’ve checked it out online…there are a few videos of these on You Tube.  Now John wants one for Christmas.
