She thought of spending three days at sea full of relaxation and contact with nature but soon she realized that reality offered her something else. Bad experience for a 48 year old from Padua who hired a 72 year old at the port of Alghero, owner and commander of a small sailing ship - as well as the only sailor and cook -, to reach Cagliari along the coast of Sardinia.

However, something happened between the two, so much so that after two days she asked to be landed in Sant'Antioco and the man initially joined, but then he directed the boat to Capo Spartivento and the island of Toro. At that point, the woman asked for help from the Port Authority of Sant'Antioco. The soldiers reached the boat and transhipped the tourist, entrusting her to the investigations of the carabinieri. No lawsuit has been filed but the 72-year-old has been denounced by the military for private violence and probably something has yet to be clarified.

If the woman had paid for the whole trip anyway, at her simple request the man would have to lead her ashore even much sooner than initially agreed.
