Pink shorts overboard.

Edoardo's swimming shorts. to be precise, seen here, bottom right.

The day began with a flat calm so we motored far out to sea where we swam in surprisingly warm, deep blue water with magical shafts of light.

We were all so grateful for such a lovely October day. Perfect bliss.

The taste of salt water had made us hungry so after a flake out in the sun, we had an early lunch, provided by Sylvia which consisted of pasta and a spinach/cottage cheese flan plus two bottles of white wine and a huge wild cherry tart.

After lunch a light breeze arrived, gradually increasing until we were belting along with the sea to ourselves.

That is when Edoardo's shorts flew off the boat and into the sea. Stefano did a perfect manouvre under sail and I plucked them out of the water with a boat hook.
