The 375 mile sail from Monfalcone to Brindisi offered up a little bit of everything.  Starting out with a motor, we were hit by a gale overnight which mellowed into no wind again the next afternoon.  Our second night at sea was calmer than the first, but the VHF forecast called for another gale so we slapped two reefs in the main before starting our night watches.  It turned out we didn't need them until dawn, and then only for a few hours, but it is always better safe than sorry, especially at night when you are trying also to get some sleep.  The girls and Hobie are suffering a bit from cabin fever, but are otherwise holding up very nicely.  Zia is handling herself beautifully, and we are ever thankful for having bought such a wonderful boat.
