After leaving Saint-Florent, we sailed around the north end of Corsica to the port city of Bastia to pick up of 2 of Haley’s friends from Wake Forest, who spent 3 days on the boat with us. Bastia is where many ferries from mainland France and Italy arrive. People, cars, and trucks all move around the Med. in large ferries. We have passed many of them sailing at night. After leaving Bastia, we sailed down to the Gulf of Pinarellu, a very pretty bay just north of Port Vecchio. We spent several nice days anchored there swimming, checking out the town and beach, and eating good French food while the mistral was blowing hard on the west side of the island.
