Tuesday,
What a day, into Sicily for 9am, Fuelled up, washed the boat and filled up the water tanks.. I went in search of some essential provisions... and of course Gelato!! I discovered that Sicily and port Etna itself is a lovely friendly community who were more than helpful when it came to showing me where the best traditional Gelato on the island was... and it did not disappoint!! Yum!!!
So now we are headed east still with very light winds so motoring and motorsailing our way to Greece... The rest of today has been very relaxing, the sun has been blazing I've been in my bikini, and we've all had our shorts on..I even got sunburn!! whoop whoop!!
And this evening watching the sun set behind mount Etna, pink sky barely a ripple on the water and even the dolphins gave a lazy appearance, to complete the idyllic picture! Love it!
Later Anthony and I were stargazing and i learnt a new constellation: Gemini!!!
 
Hoping for another day the same tomorrow then arriving in Greece on Thursday for our final pit stop before Turkey!  What a pleasant trip this has been so far, How I have missed being out on the sea!!!
 
1am Wednesday: two words... Day-glo Dolphins!!!!
