Sea Otter's Year of Adventure: Rain
9/10/2010
We have just had a three night stay in Marina Di Camerota We arrived on Tuesday September 7th From here we plan to make an overnight hop further south, but were waiting for good weather The winds have come around, and are now from the NW - which is what we wanted - no fun to go straight into the wind.
We have also experienced our first rain in ages; actually it poured yesterday and is pouring today We managed to get all of our laundry done Tuesday and Wednesday morning, and got everything dried on lines strung on the boat (easy to rig on a sailboat)..
