We have decided to continue on our way and so we lifted anchor at 08h00 and started on the course for Elba. It was a very bumpy ride with the wind again on the nose but we made the uneventful journey in 8 hours and were anchored in the bay of Portferrario at 16h00. A lovely place to visit and explore and once ashore we discovered that we had arrived in the middle of a travelling European market with goods and food from all over Europe including Finland, France, Austria, Germany and of course the different regions of Italy. A lovely place stepped in history in which to meander amongst the stalls and see the old houses alongside the harbour. As it was approaching dinner time we climbed the steps to the higher part of the town away from the crowds and had a quiet meal overlooking the bay. A fitful ending to a long day.
