Ken and I had about 90 minutes to provision the boat for the next leg. We had no Euros and neither of us spoke Italian (shameful). Carloforte is a beautiful town, on a beautiful island just south of Sardinia (also a beautiful island, but much larger, off of the western coast of Italy). Our first stop was a bakery to fill our pie-holes with fresh hot tomato bread and onion bread while briskly walking in search of food. We found this fish monger  parked on a side street. The fish was something crazy like 35 Euros a kilo.

Luckily we didn’t have to walk to far to find this small market, the fish was weighing us down. Those are the most gorgeous artichokes I have ever seen,  they sacrificed their brazen purpleness for a floral display.
