We motored about 25 miles up the south coast of Sicily and made another satisfactory rear end docking. Either the prop is doing better or I am getting better at backing the boat... some of each. Nice city with another Greek ruins, Selinunte down the road a piece.

Now I remember Sicily... hiked up a small mountain to the top of a cliff where the real town is. First stop post office, closed till 4 PM for siesta, went to the information center... closed. Went to the bus stop to see about getting to Selinunte... no bus until domoni (tomorrow). Went to the Vodaphone store, store was bought out by 'TIM' in Sicily, went to another Vodaphone store, can't reup any of my chips and must sell us all new chips. Went back to the post office at 4:30 still not open. Free electric at the dock but there are so many boats pulling off the same circuit there is only about 70 volts left down here. The sun is shining! ... its 32 c.

Looks like good weather to push on tomorrow. more later.
