We motored into the Gulf of Policastro and into the Marina di Scario, a small but charming town built around the harbour.<\/p>\n

Behind the small town are mountains and the Cilento. \u00a0Trees are green and lush and there are flowers everywhere.<\/p>\n

We had a quiet day wandering around the town, after a swim on the way over. \u00a0We were enchanted by a puppy two yachts down, being trained by his Italian skipper. The skipper would use a squeak dog to call the puppy and offer a treat if he could get up on the passarelle by himself. This passarelle is set fairly high, so it was good work.<\/p>\n

The highlight of the morning was getting to the Baie degli Infreschi, which is a beautiful bay in the Cilento and Valley of Diana National Park. \u00a0No roads in, only hiking in or coming in by boat. We were happy we arrived\u00a0early, because we had the bay to ourselves with just a few boats until noon. Pick up a mooring and enjoy!<\/p>\n

Then the boats arrived, like a swarm of mosquitoes. \u00a0We found out that if a boat wants to come alongside and also use the mooring, then you have to welcome them alongside. We had a motor launch with a lovely Italian man and his wife that used her hands until we realised it wasn’t an option.<\/p>\n
