One of the ideas was to sail around Corsica... at the same time, I wanted to take it easy on this voyage... after all, it was the first time I was on a boat alone... sometimes the Mistral blew... so my first touch with Corsica was brief on its eastern coast :-)

Despite seasickness in the first half of the trip, it was worth it.

I enjoyed 25 knots winds and waves up to three to four meters...

... I fairly well learned to lower and raise the anchor manually...

... I was visited by needlefish...

... I dove to the propeller...

... I drifted near the island of Montecristo...

... I took a 24-hour sailing...

... I discovered what a 35-knot gust is about...

... and of course, I couldn’t miss sailing in the rain.
