I must go to the sea again, to the lonely sea and the sky.
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by.
by John Masefield
I found " my " "tall ship"....isn't she a breathtaking beauty.......? A dream........!
The sun is sparkling, a wonderful warm spring day,
not even the slightest breeze in this pretty little
port, where I take you today;
just a quick drive
down the hill...........
The perfection of a yacht's beauty is that nothing should be there for only beauty's sake.
by John Mac Gregor
Tight blue and and brown ropes....
And I love tuly the romantic name of "my" Beauty.....
I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand,
as in what direction we are moving:
to reach the port of heaven,
we must sail sometimes
with the wind and
sometimes
against it-
but we must sail,
and not drift,
nor lie at
anchor.
by Oliver Wendel
...Let's sail now direction Corsica.....let's catch the winds in the sails.....!!!!
Let's discover the magnificient Islands in the mediterranean sea...!!!
(..You just have to take off a view days from work.....!)

Oh my goodness, that water just sparkles!!! What a lovely thought -- to walk down the hill, climb aboard and sail off to adventure!
Thanks for sharing your beautiful sunshine, dear Elvira!

A nice boat to travel in. My avator shows me in my boat, a kayak, but I am well traveled.
Nice shots. Are you still looking for crew? I don't think of water when I think of Tuscany -- where is this?
Wishing you pleasant sails Elvira.

Wait for us!!!! What a beautiful ship Elvira! You can sure pick them. Now wouldn't that be the ultimate trip/sail......the Mediterranean. I will close my eyes now.....
Oh, no no no; dear friends....
This IS MY DREAM of a sailboat;
it is unfortunately NOT MINE; but I certainly keep on visiting it and taking pics of it and hopefully do my next sailing trip on it.....!!!
It lies on dock in the pretty port of San Vincenzo; close to Castagneto Carducci; on the Etruscan Coast; just a short drive down the hill from my home.
ciao ciao elvira
Beautiful beautiful pictures!! That yacht is GORGEOUS!! All the wood, the lines... even the ropes!
Super elegante Elivira. A great way to travel around your beautiful coastline or anywhere else that takes your fancy. Bellissimo.
ciao ciao FAB.
Count me in !:)) Seems to be a lovely place and a marvellous tour on that see with that beauty!
Great poems Elvira, encountering your pictures ....
She's definitely a beauty... & that IS a great name! =) I'd love to go out on a boat... I haven't been on one in years! We have several lakes here, but never the time to take advantage of all that fun!!! =)
I have such an affinity for boats...
And what magnificent quotes. Thank you for this little escape.
Wow!! This is really a dream. And so are your pictures..and that green water, so lovely!!
I was sailing for 10 years, and I love every second:-) Your are so free at the sea..
Hope you have happy days in your world Elvira, hugs from Tania
Ps: The spring is here!:-)
Hi Elvira! You're not asking much... ;)
I’ll be out next week, but Blogtrotter Two has something new for you... Enjoy and have a wonderful weekend and week ahead!!
Carissima Elvira, thanks for your very kind comment on my last post with the green thumb;-)) I hope you will have a lot of fun with your boys to build a bee hotel on weekend. And I wish you a lot of fun, too keep on visiting this absolut elegant sailing boat. I`m sure your dream come true to do your next sailing trip on it.
San Vincenzo; the Etruscan Coast; just a short drive down the hill from my home - The place near paradise. A lot of green hugs and kisses from Luzia.
Just so beautiful!! I enjoyed every moment of my ride in 'your' royal beauty.. Thanks :)
So beautiful! I would love to spend an afternoon sailing those gorgeous blue waters!
It's a beauty! I especially like the shot of the name. Wonderful!
So sleek
So azure
So calm
So mindful
So lovely
Now...off we go across the waters to discover those islands! Laccaille included, but of course!
Dearest Elvira
Oh, what a beautiful yacht "Nostalgia" is! Your photographs are stunning, as alwaysl!! The color of the water is lovely! I did an Atlantic crossing on a 36 feet yacht many years ago and it was a wonderful experience!
I trust that you will one day own this beautiful yacht or even a nicer one! Enjoy your dreams...may they all come true!! That is my wish for you!
