Photo Friday: Royal Clipper in Amalfi

 

Ciao Amalfi Coast Blog Royal Clipper

 

Summer in Amalfi brings with it some of the most beautiful cruise boats, which stop in Amalfi’s harbor for a day or two. The most extraordinary is the Royal Clipper, the largest fully-rigged sailing ship in the world. With five masts and 42 sails, everyone in Amalfi stops to stare when the Royal Clipper comes into port. Earlier this summer it stopped in Amalfi on a windy Sunday afternoon, when I just happened to be sitting on the rocks watching a storm brewing off in the distance.

Fortunately, the storm held off until all the passengers and tenders made it back to the Royal Clipper before it sailed away. Maybe next time I’ll catch a glimpse of those beautiful sails. Happy Friday and a good weekend to everyone!

    Thanks so much, Gil! 🙂

    Ciao Linda! It's one of the most beautiful that comes into Amalfi. I would love to see the inside! Hope you had a lovely weekend, too!

    Ciao Scintilla! Oooooh… hope you post that photo on your blog so I can see it. I've only seen it with sails up once, two summers ago. I must have missed it sailing by!

This morning I said my goodbyes to Bruno Catalano’s “Travelers” on my morning walk. Tomorrow I’m off to be a traveler myself and they’ll likely be gone by the time I’m back. They’ve been good company, but it’s time for them to move on to their next destination. 🧳

I’m back! After some time in the USA with family I’m back! After some time in the USA with family, I’m back home in Amalfi and adjusting to the time with my usual early morning walks. What’s not usual is that there are so many people out and about now compared to when I left in July. At 7:30am this morning there were already people set up at the beach to get those first sun rays that you can see just hitting the beach. Very clever! The water is so clear and pretty in the morning. I enjoy watching the changes that come throughout the season. This morning there were two guys tossing a football on the beach. That was unexpected! 🏈
