I tried to clear out of Italy at the local Coast Guard station. I rang the bell, told them in Italian that I wanted to clear out and the man answered: “Un Altima, Solo”. I waited, and waited and I finally decided that I must have forgotten the meaning of “altima“. I went my way. Put Italy with the Greeks. It is a 45 mile sail to Bonofacio on Corsica from here. That is a little too much for doing after Sunday morning service, so, I’ll plan go to Saturday evening service and leave early in the morning.
It looks like I’ll still have the right winds. The usual N.W. can blow strong between the two islands, “La Bouche de Bonofacio“.
