by Calvin Sun | Sep 5, 2021 | Italy, Sardinia, September 2021: The Tyrrhenian Sea, The Nightlife

 On day 2 most of us woke up to our long awaited shangri-la, aka 9:30am where all our yachts were already sailing in open waters towards the islands of the La Maddalena archipelago. Way better than yesterday’s start.  We didn’t miss a beat to...
