From Bastia we sailed 35 miles to the island of Elba, Italy where Napoleon was briefly exiled and where we hoped to find a good shipyard for a growing list of repairs.
Our first glimpse of the island was Marciana. This is no place for repairs but a charming stop on the way to Portoferraio.

| And finally at anchor in Portoferraio bay, considered one of the most protected bays in the world. Last night, 35 knots blowing outside the bay and only a few gusts of 15 inside. Excellent holding, beautiful surroundings, and (so far) enough room for everyone. |
