Memories of The Pontines, 2023
Sat 2nd September – Sat 9th September 2023
We join fellow club member, Steve Drowley, on his adventure with us to The Pontine Islands, Italy.
Sunset over Ponza Harbour – the gorgeous holiday island beloved by Romans old and new.
Another fine sail on our way to Ventotene, blissfully unaware that our destination had the tightest harbour entrance and sharpest heave to starboard seconds after entering that any of us had ever encountered.
The picturesque haven of Porto di Sant’ Angelo, Ischia, with its west facing beach and east facing harbour, where we happily moored up, and climbed up to the restaurant. “No-one told me there were this many steps” someone was heard to say. But the ice-cream parlour was still open when we trooped back down, and so the habit was quickly formed – every meal ashore had to end with a large Italian cone!
Crew photo at Ponza where we decided to stay for two nights to give us time to the complete a circumnavigation of this extraordinary volcanic island.
