I shortly told you about the beginning of my Italian adventure and about loosing my bag in transit in this post: AMS-ROMA-MILAN BRINDISI BARI >>Brindisi That was a short post written on Saturday-afternoon after racing, just before we went out to dinner. The story below is what happened that day and goes on after that.... After a short night - I arrived at four in the morning - I met Chief Umpire Marek at the breakfast table and we talked about the coming day.

Contiunation from yesterday. Shortly after commissioning Knot Again the Admiral and I started cruising.  Knot Again is a C&C 35 MK III, a great racer cruiser.  When we cruise with the many cruisers of our club, we are often the first boat in port and have a head start on sundowners and party planing.  Chardonnay time is a real favorite aboard our boat.
