position 37:30N 15:06E in Catania Sicily
we sailed close by Stromboli in the Eolian Islands and arrived in the Messina Straits at dawn. All night there were Gale warnings on the VHF but they never appeared! The wind was never more than 15 knots and the only discomfort was a big swell.We moored in the Yacht Club in Catania around midday and went on a tour round the city. We have organised a trip to Mount Etna for tomorrow and will sail on to Corfu on Wednesday.
