On the Sunday morning we set sail fo Bonifacio on Corsica, a good bit of wind blowing so we started out with a reef in the main. 

Within a short while of leaving the marina it was obvious that the sea state was a short and steep, not overly high waves but short and sharp like I would have expected in a wind over tide situation back home.

Pat hasn’t managed to get much sailing in for a few years and was soon effected by her first ever attack of Mal-de-Mare and facing a long slog to windward Tim and I decided to go back to Castelsardo to give her a chance to recover.

The main difference that this made to the plans was that we were in Italy on Sunday afternoon (most shops were closed) instead of being in France where they would have been open.
