Outremer 4X Koda Upwind Both Ways -- Another 732nm

Koda sails up the east coast of Sardinia, where we reconnect with friends we met while sailing — one we crossed the Pacific with last year, and another from Greece: @verticalsailingtour6833. We return to Porto Pollo to wing foil and revel in how far we’ve come since we were last here in February. Next, we take our only weather window north to France… upwind the entire way. Koda gets dinged by French customs and has warranty work done at the Outremer Mediterranean Base. As soon as the work is finished, we rush south to Menorca — again upwind — racing to escape a strong Mistral forecasted to arrive in a hurry with gusts over 60 knots.
