The wind finally picked up enough last night for us to sail so we had speedy arrival in Sardinia this morning just as the sun was rising. Our first stop was the fuel dock in Porto Ponte Romano to top up on diesel (€1.55 litre) and the extremely friendly attendant was happy to work with us using mostly sign language to figure out how much fuel we needed - which depended on the amount of Euros in cash we had on board!
The wind was blowing hard out of the south so we had to cross to the west side of the bay to get protection from the building swell. We managed to find a spot of sand in all the sea grass, which seems to plague this side of the med, and anchored off a really beautiful long white sandy beach...we have it all to ourselves! Tomorrow if the winds change round to the North we'll head back over to the town to pick up some supplies and then start to explore some of the many anchorages in this area.
