Capri







Well, we almost didn't come here.... surely it can't be as good as they say, and it will be crawling with celebrities? Well the anchorage we planned was untenable, (Italian waters pilot said 'the Napoli sea breeze doesn't blow home in here', well today it was very much at home!) so we dashed across to Capri after all. Anchored under some magical cliffs, with not even one single castle!! Incredible path constructions and some beautiful buildings. 10m, so all our chains out, but there are plenty of boats around to tow us off the rocks..


can you pick which one is us?












So you want to go ashore on Capri….
We're on the south of the island, there are a couple of tiny beaches but we can't go near them, you need a ticket to swim and they are buoyed off. You must queue with the dinghy near a big orange buoy till one of the white uniformed guys calls you in for your turn, then dash into the little stone landing stage to pick up or drop your passengers. There's nowhere to leave the dinghy.
