Pitstop on Elba Island - S01E15 Sailing Helios
We have made good time on our journey to Elba Island and will have 6 nights in the well-protected anchorage of Portoferraio before we need to collect visitors from northern Corsica. We use this time to get some chores done, reprovision the boat, and collect an online order of things we need to service the engine. Simple things like this become more complex living on a boat, but we enjoy the challenge.
We have a look around the old town of Portoferraio which is famous because Napoleon Bonaparte was exiled to Elba Island before he famously escaped.

We Didn’t Plan to Stop in Canet – Here’s Why We Had To – Sailing Helios S04E25
We didn’t plan to come back to Canet-en-Roussillon. A few weeks ago the plan was to return west through the Balearic Islands.

First, though, we have a date in Canet in mid-August. With a break in the westerlies, we need to make haste and get mov...
Italian coastal adventures: Ponza and Gaeta
We’re back in Ponza after sailing across from Sardinia. The island is as pretty as we remembered — a colourful Italian seaside town with a long and surprising history — and we have a few quiet days before Richard’s youngest son, Oakley, joins us on his European holiday. The forecast, however, has ot...
