Leaving the begrimed Palermo was somewhat of a relief as the harbour although safe is a little windless. The heat had started to build by mid morning when we left after putting away all the provisions purchased  at the local supermarket. Yet again little wind but as we motored out of Palermo bay and along the coast we spotted several nice sandy beaches to be explored next time. A little wind arrived for a brief sail to dusk but then as usual it died and we motored on into the night. The following day was much of the same with the occasional ship to dodge but otherwise fairly uneventful. During the next watch however Tony and Tina reported seeing a small flashing light which they thought may be a lost lifebuoy. However no details on Navtex so they did not investigate closer. However towards the end of their watch more weak radar signals were spotted some with flashing lights. At the change of the watch much discussion about what these could be. Collective minds finally sorted out that these were probably lit fishing nets of some sort without a fishing boat. These clearly required a careful watch.
