Where are we now?
Calabria, the toe of Italy.
Rocella Jonica.

| Riposto, fixer-upper |
We were to be wintering in Riposto, at the foot of Mount Etna but the universe had other plans for us. Leaving Taromina just before sunrise, allowed us a mystical sail across the ancient Messina Straits heading for the rising sun.

Each time I cross the straits I think about Homer, Ulysses, the Iliad, Phoenicians, Moors, Normans and imagine how it was hundreds of years ago. What a feeling to think your part of the mix:-)

It is quiet here. Great for dog training. Marina staff excellent, helpful and happy. More cruisers staying for winter, so not alone.

| Training? What training... |
