                | 38:07.00N 15:33.50E We sailed from Dubrovnik after checking out at the main port of Gruz., 
heading south west for the heel of Italy.  We crossed the Adriatic after a day and a night of motoring and continued 
non-stop around the toe of Italy and arrived in the Messina Straits between 
Sicily and mainland Italy after 3 days, berthing in the small marina at Reggio 
Di Calabria on the mainland. No wind or head winds was the story for 95% of the 
trip which resulted in about 60 hours of motoring. Great progress on the first leg of the 
trip. |
