Update 07

We are currently underway and have just passed Portofino, the Cinque Terre is ahead of us about 18 NM before we will pass by Vernazza. Jim, Barbara and Cindy all arrived in Milano as scheduled. We were delayed in Genoa due to rough seas yesterday so visited the Cinque Terre by train. A picture of Maranola is attached. The Cinque Terre was one of my favorite stops when I was here in 2001, by land then. We plan to anchor off an Island tonight and on Tuesday continue on to the river Arno and get a berth at one of the numerous small marinas around the town of Marina di Pisa, Wed we will move to Livorno and from there rent a car for a road trip to Florence and the explore the small villages of the Tuscanny regions, perhaps we shall sample some wine as well! I have lots of pictures to turn into slideshows but just have not had the time yet, hopefully in the next few days I will get them online for you to see, Until then enjoy the view of Maranola. We have Internet at all times so feel free to write of you wish.
