After a trip across north western Sardinia (the low lying and flatest part of the island) we stop the taxi outside the "Skippers Bar" in Castelsardo marina where we are due to meet our skipper, Tim Carrington.

Tim is a live-aboard sailor who likes to introduce others to sailing and to his favourite area

Recognising him shouldn’t be a problem, as we have seen photos of him on his web-site, www.lets-go-sailing.co.uk  and sure enough he sees us arrivie and comes over to introduce himself.

It is then a case of trundling the bags down to the end of one of the pontoons and passing them across on to the the "Lady H", a 36’ GibSea 106.

For this trip there are only going to be Tim, myself and my sister, Pat, so its the luxury of a "double" cabin each.

We could leave this afternoon but Tim reckons that the old town of Castelsardo is well worth a nose around so we decide to wait till the morning.
