In the morning, swimming and fishing. The first fish on the hook!
Even ten centimeters count.
As our onboard fisherman says, "These fish are quite cunning here!"
Part of the crew went on a trip to Cala Spalmatoi in the dinghy. The journey for four was a real challenge for the inflatable boat. On the way back, it was against the waves. We all had wet bottoms. The water kept coming in, and the skipper was looking for a volunteer to lighten the boat :-)
No one had to leave in the end, but it was close.
We added the German flag to the Czech one to make it clear that we are an international crew :-)
At half-past three, we raised the anchors and headed to the nearby island of Giglio, which became "famous" due to Costa Concordia.
As long as we had a tailwind, we sailed on the motor and helped with the jib.
At six, we dropped both anchors in Cala dell' Alluma bay on the island of Giglio.
Part of the crew went to explore the island, which involves a very nice hiking up the steep slopes.
