We have survived the 300nm/ 48 hour passage
accross the Ionian Sea to Milazzo, the conditions have
been varied giving us wind (or more often no wind) from virtually all
directions, heavy rain and amazing lightening displays - at least we were
welcomed by blue skies and sunshine as we passed through the Stretto di
Messina. Despite having to motor most of the way we have learnt a
lot (cornflakes and wind are not a good combo and everything tastes better with
tobasco), become familiar with all the gadjets on board and the 4 hour watch
system !!
Barry has been trying to catch some fresh fish with
an array of 'fancy lure', however, we are optimistic that the 'big catch'
is only a day away - so far we have only managed to 'land' a baby
squid - so it is a good that there is still plenty of fresh food on
board.
