We are just passing through a group of Islands
called "Isole Eolie" which sit just north of Sicily. We have had a good
uneventful day passing quickly through the Straits of Messina with a good
southery wind blowing us north through the narrow disturbed waters of the
Straits that separate Mainland Italy from Sicily. Its a strange place with
distributed waters and strong tides. Its the third time I have been through and
its always nice to come out safely on the other side.
The weather is a little disappointing. An overcast
day with no sunshire. I understand the weather back home is very good at the
moment. I lot better than the Med for sure. Its just going dark here so we can
preparing our selves for another night at sea. Nav lights, life jackets and
safety harnesses. Red lights in the cabin for night vison and a strong cup of
hot coffee. Its time to man the Radar. Goodnight all
Pete, Debs and Tony x
