As we came down the west coast of Sardinia the cliffs of Capo Caccia got larger and larger.  There are two islands off this coast but it is difficult to see where the island ends against the mainland cliffs. It is also difficult to get the scale of thes cliffs until you realise that that little lighthouse on Capo Caccia is 186 metres above sea level…

As we pass close to the cliffs and eventually turn east again we have the wind behind us for the run down to Alghero, but the cliffs cause all sorts of wind eddies and show the value of rigging a gybe preventer.

Tonight the sun sets behind us and its another night approach, with the added problem of finding a sheltered berth with the approaching storm in mind.
