Sailing Elba Island

This past weekend I had the pleasure of sailing for two days around the island of Elba! It was amazing (at least the part that I did not get sea-sick during...), there were great views, fun people, and just plain good times.

We began our trip on Friday evening just as the sun was setting...

It was soooo beutiful to be out on the water. It felt as if we could actually see the sun going under the sea itself, with all the color it cast as it set.

We of course had to open a bottle of wine to kick off the trip, that we deamed appropriate to call the Shasta/Elba trip...5 out of 8 are in a sorority or a fraternity:) Holla!

We woke up to the site of the bay of Elba. This is all of the island we really got to see..the other side of the island is actually a large protected animal refuge.

Gotta love it when the captians are sitting on the very tip of the boat....:)

This was our fearless leader Tony! He was an awesome captain! He made all our meals, took us to the beaches, and drove us back and forth from Siena! Overall it was an amazing journey and experience to have!
