Isola Di'Capri


From Ischia, we again headed south. We decided to stop in Capri for lunch. Both Peter and I wanted to say we've been there. Apparently, the famous Rolex Challenge sail race was being held in Capri this year. The harbor was full of high-tech racing sailboats, all 'dressed' in their flags. The media was out in force covering the practice races.

We "borrowed" a slip from a race boat that was already out practicing, and had a nice lunch in town. Very scenic, but with all the race stuff going on, quite active.

We sailed out after lunch and around the south side of the island looking for the famous Blue Grotto. We didn't find it, but I was amazed by the color of the water.
