Up early, hosed the latest deposit of Mt Etna ash off the boat. We prepared the boat for departure, first motoring over to the fuel jetty to take on full tanks of diesel and then departing
Riposto for Ganzirri. The winds developed to plus 20nts from the north so we tacked, doubled reefed, towards mainland Italy, then coming about we set up to motorsail to Ganzirri. Anchored near small fueling jetty, took dinghy in and requested permission to
tie up there later on for when we headed into the lake for dinner. All good. Returned and we went into shore for a swim from the rocky/pebble beach. The current at the boat made it not practical to swim off the back of the boat. The local sword fish boats
were running around attempting to get their catch. Into the lake for dinner at a nice taverna after an exploration walk around the lakeside town of Ganzirri. Passing Taormina Julie and Jude at the lake, Ganzirri. Shallow, 1m, lots of mussels produced Random wedding, photos on the lake
