Just off the coast of northern Sicily approaching the Messina Straights. Lovely clear skies and warm. Fantastic views of a snow capped Mount Etna on Sicily and the volcanic Aeolian Islands just to the north.

Stopping in Milazzo this evening for the last pasta before the voyage through Messina and across the Ionian to greek waters.

No fish for days – Steve is losing his touch (and most of the lures!)
