Tuesday,
What a day, into Sicily for 9am, Fuelled up, washed
the boat and filled up the water tanks.. I went in search of some essential
provisions... and of course Gelato!! I discovered that Sicily and port Etna
itself is a lovely friendly community who were more than helpful when it came to
showing me where the best traditional Gelato on the island was... and it did not
disappoint!! Yum!!!
So now we are headed east still with very light
winds so motoring and motorsailing our way to Greece... The rest of today has
been very relaxing, the sun has been blazing I've been in my bikini, and we've
all had our shorts on..I even got sunburn!! whoop whoop!!
And this evening watching the sun set behind
mount Etna, pink sky barely a ripple on the water and even the dolphins gave a
lazy appearance, to complete the idyllic picture! Love it!
Later Anthony and I were stargazing and i
learnt a new constellation: Gemini!!!
Hoping for another day the same tomorrow then
arriving in Greece on Thursday for our final pit stop before
Turkey! What a pleasant trip this has
been so far, How I have missed being out on the sea!!!
1am Wednesday: two words... Day-glo Dolphins!!!!
