Mamma mia! The wind sounds like a train. The waves roar like a train, at least three meters in height, slamming into rocks near Portopaleddu. We moved the tents to a more sheltered spot. Now the wind doesn't heave the tent, but I'm on a slope. I don't know which is worse. The sea completely washes over the beach. Saturday, the sea will continue to be stirred into a frenzy with force 7 to 9 winds. We are becoming "regulars" at the pizzeria "Su Strintu" with our own table and the waiter is familiar with our drink order.
The photo depicts the sea at force 6 before the evening spectacle that completely awed us at force 8 and higher. As the Sardinians say when we explain our circumnavigation, " Mama mia!".

René,
I have no intention of reading your lengthy letter. Your journey ended when you chose to withdraw from the expedition. This blog is for the continuation of my journey and you are diminishing it, in trying to justify your withdrawal and your inability to cope and complete the journey. Please respect the continuation of my journey and refrain from posting any further posts or comments so as not to diminish the last section of my Sardinian journey and this blog. Your journey at Kayak Island Quest has ended.
Mountain Jim and Borrasca, thanks for your words of support.
As a generic reader, I find the thoughtful analysis of what went wrong in a team to be far more worth my time and intrest than reading about pizza toppings. I would have also thought that someone who has had two successive expeditions founder would be a a bit more reflective in considering her own role in a team instead of resorting to character assassination. I have never met you in person, but you do not come across as a kind person in your writing.
