To the Sea...
Sabato, il 23 maggio
Arrivederci, Roma! We are down to the sea in ships! There may be something more stirring than being on the deck of a beautiful sailing ship at sunset, with the Mediterranean wind blowing in your hair, and Vangelis' "Conquest of Paradise" from the film "1492" playing as the captain orders all sails unfurled. There may be something more stirring, but I doubt it.
The anchor is hauled in and the bow is pointed seaward away from the dock. We sail past a statue on the column at the entrance to the port. It may be of Santa Maria as Stella Maris (Star of the Sea). She wears a crown of stars and in her protective hand she holds a 15th century sailing ship. Reassured by the sight, we leave the Port of Civitavecchia under full sail to plunder the Italian coastal towns and islands for the treasures they hold. Avanti!
