Lerici, Italy: Gulf of Poets

Offshore Explorer with Scott Dodgson

Scott recounts his re-discovery of romantic poets, Shelly and Byron, while he supervises building a yacht. He draws a connection between the Romantics and sailing. Scott warns about sailcloth weight. He visits a local restaurant and learns to eat Italian style. He learns the history of a merchant marine bar with interesting clientele. He befriends a local wine shop owner where he learns the wine shop was once a candle shop where Byron and Shelly bought their candles. He finds the importance of the bell tower for the residents and the mariner.
