These conditions invite the daily school lessons to be taken on deck in the fresh air. Jack of course is more interested in the galley.

We stopped in a little anchorage called Malfatano on the south coast of Sardinia, partly to rest and partly to wait for wind. Jack took the opportunity to re-live his previous life as a seal, fishing in the shallows.

These four pictures were taken in Pula at the Ruins of ancient Nora. It was founded by the Phoenicians, and settled by others before being abandoned in the 5th century. The original citadel was established between the 9th and 8th century BC, probably because of its strategic location on Capo di Pula. It was governed by Carthage in the 6th cent. BC. Once the biggest city in Sardinia, the encroachment of the sea, and the invasion of the Vandals, reduced its importance until its abandonment.

Another picture of Gilana at anchor. This time in the bay of Pula. We departed the next day for Sicily.
