Corsica!

Corsica is a really beautiful place, we just did a five hour hike and saw all sorts of neat views as well as the plant that grow around (cactii among other things). The sail here was amazing, we saw a comet, hundreds of shootin stars, hurricane force (80 knot) winds, a squall and we got to swim in the Med. Definetly my favourite sail so far. The storm we encountered had us up against the aforementioned winds, 20 foot waves and a wall of rain for about 5 minutes (sounds like Vancouver, I know). The boat was rocking so much that it woul tilt all the way till the rail is under water, then tilt the other way and all of the water would rush across the deck, drenching those of us on daywatch. Thankfully it was warm water; it ended up being really fun. I didn't really get any pictures during the sail but I'll upload my pictures of Corsica and also the crafts I'm currently working on (a necklace with a charm from each port, a knitted balaclava)
