Our 9th High Point Yacht Fest took place in Sardinia, out of Portisco. For some of us this was a return to a well known area that we all enjoyed
a lot, back in 2010 and 2011.
It was great to see everyone again and to meet the newbies too. The area is beautiful and we enjoyed our time in La Maddalena, Bonifacio and three
beautiful anchorages. There was plenty of wind too! So much so that we had to pause for a day to get our hair sorted again… But we therefore spent
a full day in Bonifacio which was a treat. Our Roux Gourmet night on Thursday was another great success with some superb dishes, fun performances
and, of course, a much awaited dance on the catamaran ….
WELCOME PARTY took place at the Matt’s Restaurant in Portisco and our PRIZEGIVING celebration was again in SU CUBONE, a family run restaurant
that serves the most delicious local dishes and provide the most fun entertainment too!
