We arrived at the Island of Stromboli this afternoon April 27, 2010. When I
was a kid in Chicago a Stromboli was an Italian sandwich... here it is a
volcano that has been continuous active since the time of the Odyssey. It
is billed as the oldest light house in the Med in the pilot book. We had to
wait around for near dark before we could see the light show but it was
worth it complete with volcano sounding rumblings! Fortunately we were
becalmed so we just drifted around until dark and made dinner. Right after
dinner the show started just like Disney! Couple of quick shots (I tried to
send them and they ate my sat phone) we are not
headed north to the Italian coast...
