Giorno 14 - TRAVERSATA IONICA Più andiamo avanti e più aumentano le miglia che percorriamo senza fare soste. Un po’ come un allenamento alla resistenza. Siamo partiti con la traversata adriatica, 60 miglia. Adesso quella ionica, 70 miglia. Ci aspetta la traversata sulla Sardegna, 190 miglia. Senza contare le centinaia di ore da aggiungere di navigazione sotto costa, che pur essendo a poche miglia dalla terra, temprano i nervi e allenano la pazienza. Più andiamo in là più prendiamo confidenza con le lunghissime ore a bordo, durante le quali il più delle volte il panorama è sempre uguale e non succede niente di eccezionale. Allora diventa più facile navigare nei mari interiori, dove più c’è calma esterna più diventa burrascoso là dentro. Sono lunghe le giornate e le nottate a bordo di Julia questi giorni. Onde alte, panorami importanti. Il viaggio non è che all’inizio. Ci leggiamo domani amici! C.
