Day 49

Next stop, Gallipoli. It's about and 8 hour sail from Crotone. The waves were a little rough at first but calmed down towards the afternoon. We crossed the huge bay today at the bottom of the boot. There was a while where we couldn't see land which was good practice for crossing the Ionian Sea in a few days.

We had 3 dolphins come again and swim with our boat.



We tried stopping the boat this time, hoping they would come and swim with us but they stayed in the distance. My Dad did more barnacle scrapping with our spatula.



Bec dove off the front of the boat.



Then we showered



and went back to our busy day of reading, sleeping, and laying out in the sun... and a little exercise for my Dad.



We made it to Gallipoli by about 6 or 7pm. Turns out it's a really cute little town. We docked in the fishing port with all the locals. Our book was wrong and told us that it was to better port but some locals informed us it was private, not the public port. They told us we could tie up to the pier with all the fishing boats since we were only staying one night. Very nice of them.



Then we went up to town and walked around a bit



and had another great dinner.
