'Left Cefalu about an hour ago for Vuncano, 50 miles, should be there by dinner. Not enough wind to sail by, NW 6 knots so motoring waiting to see if it fills in a bit later. Another hot day here!'
The Kipper also confirmed that he has booked a flight back on Sunday the 19th August so let's hope nothing untoward happens between now and then. By 16:05 hrs they were arriving at their next anchorage:
'Just arriving at Vulcano (pictures to follow). Lost for words at the moment, overwhelmed at the thought of anchoring at a Volcano called Vulcano!'
On the approach to Vulcano volcano island...is anyone else confused about all of this...
Anchored in the shadow of a volcano - now that is very exciting and apparently, The Kipper tells me that it smells a bit of stinky eggs but he describes if as being 'awesome'. I like this picture for a number of reasons - blue skies, lovely looking island, lots of lovely boats and best of all, if you look really carefully, on the swim platform of that boat starboard side of the picture you will see a fine looking gentleman - broad shoulders, fine set of thighs - thank you God for the zoom function on my phone!! Willing to wager he's Italian!
The last update before bedtime tonight was as follows:
'Off through the Messina Straits tomorrow, was going straight to Greece but we are going through drinking water like it's going out of fashion so are going to Roccella Ionica for a shower, the second in a week, so extravagant, and replenish drinking water before crossing to our destination on Sunday and Monday.'
