From Sardinia to Corsica and onwards...

After accommodating our guests for three-and-a-half weeks, we made one last stop in the south Corsican coastal port of Bonifacio. It's a spectacular port entrance, where we had to navigate up a narrow gorge surrounded by an old fort. Apparently 500 years ago, a famous bloke called "Alfonso" attacked here, but all he came away with was 42 children, which were given to him as a well-wishing gift...!? Some history leaves me very confused...

Still, it was a very pretty place to visit, and then we said goodbye and began to prepare for our onward voyage...

I also have here some photos of me at work. I am in actual fact "cleaning chilies" - and for the that, I must wear rubber gloves. I had to get all the pips out. All of them. And as you can see I am wearing Ear defenders on my head in the Mickey mouse style (according to the rest of the crew), and wearing a radio. This is so that I can react like a "ghost-ninja" to any emergency or development in the engine room.
