HATCHING A PLAN

One month after my crossing from Liguria to Corsica Island on a windfoil, we met up with Stefano, the Project Manager, to discuss about our next mission for 2023. I had many ideas and projects in mind, but we needed to sit down and discuss what was possible and how to do it. After more than an hour of discussions, the idea to cross the Tyrrhenian Sea from Sardinia to the mainland came to life. The main question was - where to start and where to finish? The crossing from Sardinia to Tuscany had already been completed before by Vittorio Serra, a Sardinian windsurfer who went from Gallura, on the northeast point of Sardinia to Piombino, situated in the middle of Tuscany, back in the 90s on his windsurf gear. It took Vittorio a week to complete and required multiple overnight stops in Corsica and then Elba Island to finally reach Piombino.
