Update 09

We are currently anchored in a beautiful cove on the shore of a submerged mountain peak of Monte Argentario which is joined to the mainland by low marshy land. We took the dinghy to a small beach and followed some steps up the hillside and discovered a walled lemon and orange grove completely unseen from the shoreline. As you can see in the attached pictures the water is clear and the water temperature is about 77 F. I actually went swimming today! Tomorrow we continue around the Island to a large marina called Marina Di Cala Galera next to the small fishing village of Porto Ercole. Friday we are off to Rome by train and meet up with Rande and Ceal. Jim & Barbara leave for Venice on Sunday. Rande & Ceal come back to the boat with us and we are off to Elba and Corsica.
