The trip from Corsica to the first island near Marseille (Port Cros) takes 2 nights and 1 day. We have calculated that if we start around 10pm in the evening- we will arrive exactly in the morning in a daylight to Port Cros. Since we had to leave the port in Bonifacio by noon- we decided to spend some time in a lovely anchorage and make a BBQ, swim and walk dogs before the longest non-stop passage they did so far.. anchorage was beautiful, with turquoise water and sandy beaches. Since we parked not too far from the beach- Peti and Guyri decided to swim with dogs to the shore for a dog walk. This decision was proven by the fact that in order not to inflate the dinghy- it takes 1 hour and approx 30 min to pack it in and out from the fully folded and stored state.. honestly- we were hoping it wont be a problem for dogs to swim, of course in lifevests.. and when they started it was amazing- dogs swam to the shore much faster then Peti or Gyuri :) but after a nice long walk (Csele was really taking her time to select the perfect spot, so they had to walk like 2 kilometers or more), the wind has suddenly picked up to 20 knots with some waves.. and the way back was way more exciting! But all is good, what ends up good, the little swimming champions got back to the boat safely, despite the waves coming against them! Everyone was delivered safely back to the boat, we did a nice bbq with a freshly caught fish (saddled seabream just before arrival to the anchorage) and off we went.. 2 nights and one day offshore..
