15:00 Conditions at the anchorage are intolerable in the swell so we made the decision to head to Riposto. Long run to Riposto, +60nm. Light winds until we cleared mainland Italy, then
strong winds +20nts on a reach saw us under sail at 9.5knts. Berthed in Rispoto marina. Calm before the storm as we leave Calabria and cross to Sicily Sailing across from Calabria to Sicily. Strong winds in reaching conditions. Double reefed. Nat bravely prepares a meal at night in the galley in strong wind conditions, the gimballed stove top was in action. Sicily in the distance
