Here is Portofino as seen from our boat in the harbor. It's got to be one of the prettier places on the whole Italian left coast.
The long weekend we spent there in early May coincided with Regatta Pirelli, a big boat regatta that Jim used to race in a lot with all of his Italian cronies. He still doesn't really know how to speak Italian on the street but he can get around the racecourse in their language. "Pronto strombare!"
The fashion brands are still into sailing.
And fortunately Jim's racing days were so long ago that he didn't get invited onto any of these high-tech yachts and could hang with us on the Gemma and simply spectate.
