Italian supply run in Poetto

Julie

Nothing special to report. After leaving Pula because of the swell, we’re now fairly well sheltered here. There’s quite a bit of wind in the forecast over the next few days, but as long as the waves stay down, it’s all fine. There’s some kind of street food festival going on. We walk around a bit, but we’ve seen enough after a few minutes. Poetto is a convenient spot to stock up before heading to Malta. We’re loading up on Italian goodies like my favorite drinks Esta Té and Lemon Soda, and the many kinds of cookies you see everywhere here. We do some chores and get the boat ready for the crossing. We improve the setup of the wind vane lines, check the diesel, bilge and engine, and do a thorough navigation planning. In the late afternoon on Wednesday, July 30, we say goodbye to Oriane and Eliseo from Bee Sailing, lift the anchor and set course for Malta.
