Sadly Chris and Pat took the bus from St. Florent to Bastia
airport to head home. We wished Chris good luck, as he started his Tarmac
graduate scheme on Monday. Our friends Jenny and Simon flew in the following
day to join us for a week on the west coast of Corsica.
 |
| Corsica's west coast is mountainous, with remote beaches and anchorages |
 |
| Prickly pears are a common sight. We cant avoid thinking of the Jungle Book |
 |
| Just another perfect sunset |
 |
| The imposing fortress overlooking the marina at Calvi, one of the most impressive places on our way south. |
 |
| Calvi waterfront from the castle. We were moored stern to the quay with bars and restaurants only a few feet away. |

| Fish coming to breakfast at the boat |
 |
| The tiny hamlet at Girolata has no access by road, everything is supplied by boat. The bay provides very safe mooring and anchorages and is popular with tourists taking boat trips from Calvi. |
 |
| The beach at Girolata has to be shared with mothers and children |
 |
| Ajaccio, birthplace of Napoleon, was our last stop with Jenny and Simon and meeting place with Sarah, who is joining us for 3 weeks as we head south to Sardinia. |
