Strangely enough they didn’t have any diesel at Porto Rotondo. We wanted to avoid waiting in Olbia as everyone would be filling up. 
The wind was fairly strong at the port despite the weather forecast. As soon as we were a mile away from it, it came down to the forecast strength. 
Two reefs in the main and no feeding in the jib made the sail very comfortable. 
A bit of a misunderstanding as to where the gas station was made us go around the Olbia bay a few times but we were early enough. 
The crew docking the boats and doing the check outs were outstanding. Everyone was super positive and nice. One person even had deep interest in space, launchers, satellite constellations, etc. 
a good end in to yet another great sailing holiday.
