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!

Happy Burns Night! I love a country that has a hol Happy Burns Night! I love a country that has a holiday for their national poet. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Here’s one of my favorite poems he wrote.

Musing On The Roaring Ocean
by Robert Burns

Musing on the roaring ocean, 
Which divides my love and me; 
Wearying heav’n in warm devotion, 
For his weal where’er he be. 

Hope and Fear’s alternate billow 
Yielding late to Nature’s law, 
Whispering spirits round my pillow, 
Talk of him that’s far awa. 

Ye whom sorrow never wounded, 
Ye who never shed a tear, 
Care-untroubled, joy-surrounded, 
Gaudy day to you is dear. 

Gentle night, do thou befriend me, 
Downy sleep, the curtain draw; 
Spirits kind, again attend me, 
Talk of him that’s far awa!

This morning—after four days of rainy and cloudy mornings—I watched sunrise over the Cilento coastline across the Gulf of Salerno. Late morning it started raining again and it hasn’t stopped. This little pocket of beauty was exhilarating!
