Chiavari to Genoa 4 August

Could not decide where to go next and in the end settled on Genoa. Only about 3 hours which was good after a very hot, sticky and ichy night with hungry mozzies feasting on us.
Leaving Chiavari.
Another view if Chiavari which turned out to be a pleasant town, but hot. It is to be pronounced Keiavari and not with ch, because then it apparently means something bad on Italian, but no one will tell us what!
Approaching Portofino, the base for the rich and famous.
Getting closer, but not daring to go in, too small a boat!
This looks like a military ship, complete with helicopter on board, Portofino.
We enter in to the bay of San Fruttoso. We look for the statue of Christ which was placed there by a diver who wanted to place a statue of Jesus Christ on the place where his friend died during a dive. The statue is at a depth of 15 m and is 2,5 m high and weighs 260 kg. 
Here in the bay somewhere is the statue of Christ. We couldn't find it. 
Lots of trip boats and private yachts go into the bay. 
To my great surprise we see this enormous ship in the dry dock as we enter into Genua Harbour. It is Costa Concordia who went aground on the shores of the island Giglio year 2012. 
It is almost possible to see which parts of the ship was above the water. The ship was salvaged in 2014
We followed this big sail ship on the way to our Marina Antico. 
Next to us is the famous Genua Aquarium. 
and the famous biosphere.
