Location: Livorno
Hello All, Today, after an early morning Science class, we left our comfortable anchorage in La Grazie. I know I will not be the only one that will miss hot showers so nearby. We put up our sails for some stability on the rolling seas and motored the 35 miles to the port of Livorno. Livorno has granted us some very interesting dock-mates. On our Portside is a yacht named 007, and directly fore is an Italian Police boat. It will surely be a personal choice of which boat to jump aboard in case some type of emergency is to arise. Personally, I’m a Bond fan. Although 007 is far flashier than Argo, we have her beat in size… for the first time on this voyage, we are the biggest boat in port. A few people walking the dock have actually lingered to admire Argo, which is usually an act reserved only for mega yachts. After anchoring, we began dinner preparations. The marina has a large grill, so we hauled all the food fixings and made a delicious dinner of hamburgers, salad, and French fries. After dinner, we relaxed by playing a game of Apples to Apples, which turned out not to be as relaxing as we had intended…quite a few mini debates started over which was the correct card to pick or the exact meaning of a word, but it was all good fun. Clean-up took a while, but we jammed to some nice loud music, and everyone was rushing off to bed because we have an early morning tomorrow, so I shall say goodbye and goodnight.
