Adios Menorca, Buon Giorno Sardinia!

Just a quick entry to say that we have arrived in Sardinia safe and sound.

We left Mahon at 0430 Thursday and arrived Calasetta, on Isola di Sant Antioco, at 1243 Friday. The crossing was pretty rough at times - the weather was worse than forecast, and there were some waves which we couldn't see out of. Thankfully all this improved for the overnight shifts which were surprisingly pleasant, with a sky full of a billion stars and the wake full of dancing phosphorescence.

Unfortunately Isla fared the worst, suffering sea sickness intermittently throughout the journey. Conversely Maggie was almost endlessly sunny and bright.

217 nautical miles and 32 hours later we're tied up in a glassy smooth harbour, with Grandparents Sing on board, looking forward to some well earned sleep.
