Lerici, on the way to La Grazie
The coast looks magnificent with the flat plains around Pisa and Florence spreading North towards the mountains of Tuscany.   We motor and sail North all day, with dolphins playing around the boat, passing a few small boats. Italy becomes more mountainous the further North we go and we pass the marble-bearing mountains at Carrera, eschewing the marina here with our sights on the more interesting looking La Spezia.
