Day 50

This morning we had an appointment with a Raymarine specialist in Gallipoli to fix some of the technical problems that we've been having with the boat (our auto pilot and depth measuring devices have been failing). He opened the panels under our bed



and replaced a power cord that was loose which seemed to fix all of our problems.

We did a little test run with the boat out at sea, and everything seemed to be working perfectly again, so we decided to keep going to our next port.

On the way we sailed through some shallow water that was really clear.



It looked like the perfect opportunity for snorkeling so we stopped the boat and jumped in the water. There weren't a lot of fish to look at here but it felt good to cool off.

About an hour later we landed in Santa Maria di Leuca which is a little town located on the heel of the "boot" of Italy. We docked the boat and went into town to check it out. We got a little tour of the place on this train for kids,



but it was only 1 euro and took us to some cool places.
