Thye Bluemoment burgee was flown at Pollensa in Mallorca
But that could be anywhere so here's one showing a bit more landscape
After that it was two stops in Menorca. A terminal engine failure west of Corsica
so a stop in Calvi
An outboard got tied to the stern ladder with string and we then made it to Viareggio. Just under 500nM all told and quite a bit of stoicism in a 7 metre boat.
I have no idea Spuddy where you have sailed from. However, excellent wee boat voyaging. I am just reading Roger Taylor's Voyages of a Simple Sailor. He puts it all in perspective, get out and get on with it, make it easy and smaller is easier. Big respect Spuddy.

Ah, a bit more explanation. Not such an epic as some thought. The owner had bought the boat off ebay but knew nowt about sailing; it was in Pollensa, he was in Bologna; Arghiro knows the lad as well. After an appeal for help two of us said we'd have a look. So it was a delivery really from Mallorca to Italy. The credit for the inspired bodging goes to the other volunteer - Bernie B. Thanks for the comments.
