Orbetello – day 14

15 Jun

This day in particular I had been relishing as we were going to sail to the island of Giglio to see how salvage operations were going with the Costa Concordia. Rob first pointed out how close we were and wouldn’t it be very cool to see it refloated. So we did. It was great to visit Giglio which is beautiful, and you wish they didn’t have to deal with the monstrosity on their doorstep. I’ll let the photos speak for themselves.

Traffic out the causeway on the way to Porto Santo Stefano by bus to catch the ferry

A fantastic day for a sail or anything else you could imagine outdoors. Lots of racing going on.

A bit creepy considering the deaths involved. The ship and all the works are right next to the harbour.
