S2#29. All this and I’m Single Handed!!!

s229-all-this-and-im-single-handed

@Barefoot Doctors Sailing – Come Barefoot with us as we sail on our Leopard 45 catamaran across the Mediterranean and down the Italian coast. We are now at Formia just north of Naples and this week collect our new crew, Nellie who is Eli’s sister.

We share the struggles of getting harbour berths as many ports and marinas do not answer emails and many are full anyway. Even when there are berths, it seems like the staff can’t be bothered with the work as we are told the visitors berths are full and I counted 4 free and I knew 3 other boats were leaving the next day!

We run through the anchoring process for Nellie in detail and then she and Eli have to head off the France to collect our car, Oxley Parasailor, and top up on French cheese and wine. Also get some boat spares that we realised we needed.

For the 3 day trip, a large storm front passes over me aw I care the boat single handed and face lightning and 45 knot wind squalls – while the anchor hold and how will I cope???

Binge watch and come barefoot with us as we travel and explore the planet, mostly from the water but sometimes through the minds of others as we provide aid and support where needed through the amazing TUFMINDS solutions!
