I love the islands, but we needed to to laundry and we needed some provisions! It was off to Canningione on the mainland of Sardinia for both (I know – Sardinia is an island too, but I was referring to the numerous little islands off the Sardinian coast – it is eye opening to find how many of these little islands there are). I set out to do the laundry while Trip went to try to register us with the local Costeria Guardia (who are never in the office). I got three big loads done, Trip found a great chandlery, and the grocery store was close to the dinghy dock – score! We treated ourselves to a charcuterie plate and some wine at a local enoteca. Italy laws may drive you crazy (registering the boat everywhere we go, trying to dispose of trash, etc), but the food really does make up for it.
We were in town for a couple of days waiting for the winds to change so we could start our trip south. Saturday afternoon we were lucky enough to get front row seats to a Sardinian wedding when we had lunch at a cafe in the main square across from the local church. Sigh…..the fashion….men with no socks and beautiful leather shoes…..women in colors we never wear in the US. It was so fun to ogle.
