Decided to pass to South of aeolian Islands and head directly for Messina Straits and on to the Greek Ionian islands. Weather forecast has a clear and consistent southerly storm for Monday and Tuesday and if we don't get to Greece by then we would have to hole up in Sicily for a few days. So it is on on with a straight trip of three nights and two days and we should be in Paxos, just south of Corfu by Sunday lunchtime.
Farewell Vulcano, the original volcano and home of Vulcan. This is as close as we got! Next time.
