I made 2 friends in the harbor. One was a dog who became very interested in my spaghetti bolognaise and the other one was an incredibly helpful guy named Antonio. Antonio gave me a lot of good advices about Elba - anchorages, winds, etc. In addition, he offered that I could just call. An offer I will probably make use of. He spoke fluent English and was a professor in Genoa. Truly an exciting and nice person.
