Philippides III - Sardinia to Sicily

Sardinia to Sicily

Philippides III

Chris & Carol Jackson

Mon 18 May 2009 19:01

After a couple of very pleasant days in Sardinia, when we walked and swam and lazed on the beach, as well as a spot of boat and engine maintenance, we left at0700 this morning for the 200 mile trip to Sicily, we had a breeze for about an hour and a half, then it died and since then we have been motoring over an eerily smooth, oily, sea, ideal spotting weather and we have seen several turtles, a whale, some fins we think were sunfish and some pilot whales. It is now 2000 and the evening is drawing in for another, hopefully our last for a year or two, overnight trip. Planning on reaching Sicily tomorrow afternoon.
