Tranq and her motly crew arrived in Milazzo at about 16:00 local time for a short break in our journey towards Cagliari. After seeing to the needs of Tranq ( a wash down, water in the tanks and refuel.) We set about our own needs (a hose down, cold beer and a good Italian meal.)
Following a very enjoyable evening we are this morning back on course to Cagliari, we had discussed whether or not we should break the trip again and go into a port at the Western end of Sicily but the Mediterranean weather gods have not been smiling on us so far. ( infact there seems to be more water than oxygen in the atmosphere as I type.)
So with flight connections to be made it was decided that we should get to Sardinia and then have the option of going for some day sails there. (and enjoy some more Italian hospitality!)
Despite the adverse weather the atmosphere on board remains as happy as ever and the crew member (who shall remain anonymous) who had suffered a slightly from " mal de mer" on the first leg is now smiling again and has even been seen without his security bucket.
