The coast on the passage south was delightful with small towns and villages perched on the most unlikely hill tops and cliffs.



Tropea was no exception.  This is the old part of town seen from below by the marina.

On the NW side of the island lava streams run down to the sea at a fantastic rate.  We sailed around the island after dark and then south down the chain of islands.



Volcano - the southern most island and a dormant volcanic island hissing gasses and steam, with thermal springs - The mud is supposed to be therapeutic. It did not improve my appearance one bit.
