Sailing Yacht Ula transits from Sicily to Sardinia on an overnight passage, arriving at an exposed anchorage on Sardinia's south coast before relocating to Cagliari ahead of forecast winds exceeding 30 knots.10:31 The passage covers roughly 30 miles on the first day out of Sicily, with a stopover at a small bay before the overnight leg; conditions include light air requiring the cruising chute and engine assistance, followed by a following sea through the night.7:23 The cruising chute's snuffer lines repeatedly tangle, costing time on multiple deployments.8:03 A day trip by train to Palermo (€9 per person) finds the city heavily touristy in midsummer, with a chaotic street market near the centre but impressive cathedral architecture in a better district.0:02 On Sardinia's east coast, anchorages at Poeto, Capo Cavallo, and Arbitax are visually stunning — turquoise water, sandy beaches, mountain backdrops — but heavily regulated: dinghy landings are banned until 7 p.m. in many places, engine-powered dinghies are prohibited, dock tie-ups cost €5–10, and rubbins bins are absent.21:49 Overnight swell rolls into otherwise calm anchorages, causing uncomfortable nights.15:45 The crew's overall verdict: Sardinia is beautiful but harder to cruise practically than expected.21:39
