Had a great walk to the top of volcano with Marco and Greg thanks boys the crater was magnificent
The wind has been light but thru the straits of messina some fun was has with a downwind sail then a gybe and v fast sail  putting reefs in then to no surprise the wind died and had to motor from 35 kts to 5 kts inas many mins
