We sailed from Dubrovnik after checking out at the main port of Gruz.,
heading south west for the heel of Italy.
We crossed the Adriatic after a day and a night of motoring and continued
non-stop around the toe of Italy and arrived in the Messina Straits between
Sicily and mainland Italy after 3 days, berthing in the small marina at Reggio
Di Calabria on the mainland. No wind or head winds was the story for 95% of the
trip which resulted in about 60 hours of motoring.
Great progress on the first leg of the
trip. |
