Definition of Beautiful: Bonifacio, Corsica
We arrived in Corsica the same time summer arrived in this region. There's no time to acclimatize as the heat blasts you like a furnace. But, no complaining...
We have spent our days in anchorages since leaving Bonifacio (pictured above) sometimes swimming and sometimes longing to swim but staying out of the water. It's all dictated to by the jellyfish.
Yesterday's anchorage was fantastic! No jellyfish but plenty of the blue fish with the black circles on their tails. Speaking of fish -- we watched what could have been a flying fish record this morning as one took off and flew for nearly 70 yards.
Pictured above: Big Sky is the fourth boat in (stern out) on the second pier. The white canvass lining the street are dozens of cafes and restaurants.
See Panorama for more views.

We're currently in a marina with air conditioning running in Ajaccio.

See Diaries for stories and pictures of the some of the yachts of the "rich and famous" we've been passing, and about how we ran aground wedging our keel solidly between two massive-sized unmarked boulders.
