-
We spent a day in Monaco to wait for another crew – Jez. We visited Prince Rainier’s garage.
-
The small yacht harbour with Old Monace on the cliff top
-
The main harbour was full of large motor yachts
-
A102 Bimini in position.
-
The small boat harbour, SW of the clifftop old Monaco. An impressive hole overshadowed but the the cliffs on which Old Monaco stands.
-
Approaching Monaco on another windless day.
-
Time to cross the border. First stop Monaco!
-
San Remo backstreets
-
Faded elegance in San Remo
-
The harbour
-
That is one VERY long mainsheet
-
Preparing the topsail for hoisting next day. There had been an issue during the afternoon – witness the man walking up the gaff in earlier photo.
-
Elena’s impressive sail-handling gear.
-
Child of Eleena’s owner (?) posing with Marietta in the background
-
Elena looked just as impressive up close.

San Remo harbour – the classics masts visible over the harbour wall

San Remo
-
One of the 15m
-
We had seen a solitary schooner drifting around from a distance. As we got closer it turned out to be a Schooner and 15m regatta.
-
Off San Remo. Flat calm. Very hot. Swim time!
-
A102 A fine vessel
-
It was hot. The shade of this tree was very welcome.
-
San Remo was to be our last stop in Italy. We had been warned about concerns with migrants in ports nearer the border.
-
San Lorenzo had hotel by the entrance to the marina with a bicycle theme. This bike is made of wood!
-
A102 Plenty of room. Doesn’t she look smart!
-
The entrance to San Lorenzo was interesting – difficult to see until the very close in. It appeared we were heading for the beach and then a sharp turn to the left.
-
Imperia
-
Imperia had a late marina and a lot of marine activity.
-
Saling off Imperia
-
Impressive cliffs and roads.
-
Leaving Alassio behind
-
San Lorenzo Al Mare had been recommended as a stop by an English guy working on a large boat at Arnovecchio. So that’s where we went.
-
Some interesting looking eateries
-
We spent ages looking for one or two famous people’s plaques – very time consuming.
-
ALassio is famous for its wall of tiles signed by all and sundry celebrities. It was very impressive.
-
Our next planned stop was Alassio. It reportedly had some excellent tourist attractions.
-
Alassio was busy but it was to prove difficult to find somewhere to eat.
-
View from the chapel at the road entrance to the marina, looking toward Alassio
-
The marina at Alassio.
-
The port at Alassio is a mile or so the the East of the town.
-
A102 And we sailed. An all too infrequent occurrence
-
The beach at Loano
-
Aug 30a Loano 024
-
The town hall. Interesting approach to accessibility!
-
A gilded church
-
Aug 30a Loano 010
-
We explored the colourful an narrow network of alleys in Loano.
-
The beach at Loano, in the evening.
-
We were allowed to stay. In the yacht club building we discovered this excellent rooftop bar where we dined one expensive beer and free nibbles. Oh, and the view.
-
In Loano we entered a massive and half-empty marina. There was no clear guidance so we moored in a berth around three times the length of Atalanta Mary and headed for the Capitainerie
-
We travelled South West from Savona rounding this headland just before Finale Ligura
-
Heading toward Finale Ligura
-
The view from the fort into Savona
-
And down the port peninsula
-
Samoan has a fine fort, with excellent visitor arrangements and a great view into the Med.
-
Loano was our next target stop.
-
Looking toward Savonal. The yacht harbour is at the Western end of a long, industrial harbour.
-
The mountains inland of Cogoleto
-
A102 Looking cool in the shade of the ad-hoc bimini rigged under the boom.
-
Leaving Genoa behind.
-
At Genoa we turned South.
-
Genoa
-
We couldn’t resist snapping this car.
-
The next day we stayed to explore Genoa. One of the many churches.
-
… decided on a rooftop bar, over an upmarket food shop. Later that evening on the terrace behind the food shop we were amused by street entertainers.
-
… a food festival put on in our honour (?). But we ……
-
The Genoa – a mass of docks, old and new buildings. There is a very large Marina to the West, amongst the industrial docklands. We headed for the more central Porto Antico
-
Looking up the valley at Sori just to the East of Genoa
-
Impressive stair block!
-
Camogli and Recco marked the start of a very populated stretch of coat which stretched all the way to Genoa.
-
The promontory behind which sits Portofino.
-
Every morning all of the windows were cleaned by a crew member hanging from a car running on track under the handrail. The full length of the boat.
-
And this one.
-
… including these fine ladies
-
The area at the head of the harbour is an art installation with many different features.
-
Yet another area for lounging around.
-
Another area from which to enjoy looking down at the plebs.
-
Wedge Too had various seating around the decks, all beautifully deigned
-
The rather elegant loungers on the Wedge Too top deck.
-
On the promontory to the west/
-
From the promontory between Portofino and the Mediterranean
-
A102 Atalanta Mary rubs shoulders with the great and the good.
-
Portofino to Genoa was to mark a move to a more industrial and populated coastline.
-
A spectacular (if expensive) quayside.
-
More gratuitous shots of Wedge Too
-
A magnificent harbour.
-
Atalanta Mary was just about the smallest yacht in town
-
The view from the cliff above the main quay
