In the middle of the Strait of Bonifacio, around 5 n miles south east of Bonifacio lies the islands of Lavezzi. We anchored up there one late night and witnessed one of the most powerful sunsets in months. The burning sky in contrast with the rounded, grey granite stones made it a picture perfect and still night. The day after, we went exploring the islands both above and under the surface. Lavezzi is probably mainly known for the shipwreck and the tragic loss of 600 French soldiers who lost their lives in a storm just outside of the islands, some 150 years ago. Lavezzi is also widely known by divers for it's crystal clear water and rich sea life. /T
