Sailing on the Lago di Como
June 25-26 2005


This is the follow up of the previous weekend on the lake. It's another few sailing races, on the southern part of the lake, right in front of Lecco. Walter was replaced by Jeanne.

The spi exploded during the storm and we have to repair it.

Back to the lake and to the agriturismo where we spent the night...with a wonderful view over the lake. Just too bad we could not enjoy it since we had to wake up at 6:00 on the following morning...

The "Schizzo" is back home in Bellano. It's been so hot these days, that there's nothing more deserved than some swimming in the lake to cool off.

And off we take to Roby's place for a bbq (which we'll skip to avoid the traffic jam on the way back to Genoa). From here the view is even better than from the agriturismo. You can see where the lake splits, right in front of the Bellagio (remember, from Las Vegas?)
