Hi Sailing Flamencos:

I just returned from a cruise along the Ligurian and Tuscan coasts on my trawler. ( I am a sailor but last time I "sailed" in the Med we only had sailing weather about 20% of the time). Anyway, the slips for transients are usually in the Porto Turistico parts of the harbors. I was very happy with how friendly and helpful the oregimatores (sp?) were but the cost is rising by the day due to the dollar to Euro exchange. I paid anywhere from $20US to $42US per day for my boat. That usually included water and electricity as well.
I love Italy and will return again as soon as I can refill the cruising kitty.

Meanwhile my boat is for sale. It is on the hard in Livorno, in case you know of anyone who would love to enjoy Tuscany, Italy by boat.

Buon fortuna! Ciao
