Since the weather looked bad for Ponza we sailed
(actually motored) the 42 NM to Ischia. Passing I. di Ventotene along the
way with its small Roman port and nearby i. di S. Stephano with its
prison.
 Isol di Ventotene
 Isola di S. Srephano with prison on top
built during Mussolini's reign.
On Ischia we selected porto Casamicciola as a well
protected location for the predicted storm. Extensive remodeling is
being performed along the waterfront. New pedestrian walkway with
plantings to be installed. A reconfiguration of the floating docks
provides better use of the harbour. Of course the normal busy ferry
traffic exists along the northeast side. In the town there are a variety
of restaurants as long as you want pasta or pizza but the settings are
nice. The supermarket is close and a well stock wine
store. Marina people are very helpful assisting with berthing and
registration.
 View from boat at night. The marina is quite
empty since the season has not really started. In the summer this place
will be filled to the brim with boats from the mainland.
