We had a couple of things that needed boatyard attention so Rog and I sailed back to Rome from Gaeta and waited a couple of days for Georgia and Alastair. They flew in from cold Melbourne on 3 June and once again we headed to Ponza

The 2 June was Republic Day – a public holiday for all Italians and it coincided with the start of summer – a long weekend – Italians are very happy
Where we had been one of 3 or 4 boats on Ponza 10 days ago, now there are 100’s

All of a sudden it has got much hotter plus zero wind. Also the ‘Medusa’ have appeared- tiny little stinging jellyfish so I have opted for the mask so I can skirt around them
