After such a disappointing stop at Reggio Calabria, Roccella Ionica was a breath of fresh air. Our journey from the south was easy - little wind and no swell. The trip was long and took around 8 .5 hours averaging 7+ kts.
How the coast has changed. Now there are huge white cliffs of clay and plenty of farmland. Holiday houses dot the coast for miles and miles. We were equally amazed to see the HUGE bridges that spanned the valleys along the coast. Italy certainly has invested in infrastructure!
The marina is delightful. We were met by Francesco, the mooring staff member, who gave us plenty of help and information. Because the electricity was being 'maintained' we were given a discount on our stay. We got by, and anyway, we need to start toughening up for Greece where apparently most marinas don't have electricity.
