What this video covers

To avoid heavy boat traffic and wake in Sardinia, cruisers should reach their next anchorage before 10 a.m. Powerboats typically depart marinas between 9:00 and 9:30 a.m., creating significant swell and congestion in popular bays throughout the day.0:57 When anchoring in busy areas, avoid the most popular spots near the beach to prevent crowding; instead, anchor further out or in areas with seagrass, where other boats are less likely to congregate.2:09 Snugging the boat between rocks or in less-than-ideal swimming conditions can also provide more privacy and protection from day-trippers.2:22 For access to the town of La Maddalena, anchoring in a nearby, less-trafficked bay and using a dinghy avoids the high costs and permit requirements of local marinas.7:12 When landing a dinghy in La Maddalena, asking local sailing schools for permission to tie up at their walls can provide a secure spot.10:02
