The sky was made for us tonight

I made it to Genova previous morning. Took me a while to get to city centre (I had to spend money. D'oh.), another while to find marina and two more whiles to find a boat - but I managed to do that without calling anyone so I'm kinda proud of myself. Whole crew went to the city, so I waited for them a while. George and Michael turned out to be great guys, and Blue Sky is indeed a beauty. First few hours left me amazed how much equipment one can fit on one boat (Michael says he's got too many toys). I got used to generator sound fairly quickly though. The fourth crew member is Rob, Australian. Quite difficult to understand him sometimes :).', 'After getting acquainted we went for a short walk around Genova's old town - quite impressive (they have a zebra Cathedral, and most of banks - and some groceries as well - have hallways around 300 years old). But Italy is subject for another trip.

So is France, but Corsica looks also great - even though I haven't set a foot on it yet - right now we're anchored in a small random bay where we got early afternoon. I'm writing this in cabin, and it's quite hot (at 11 p.m.!). Which reminds me: the water is 26C. 26. And they have snorkels here. And you can see the fish all the way down at the bottom perfectly clear. AND - life is good.

Oh, about the title: the sky during the overnight passage to Corsica was really clear, and since the orange moon set around 2 a.m. it's been perfectly dark. You won't see a sky like that on land.
