Today we motored the 30 miles from Siracusa to Catania. We need to have a new exhaust elbow made here...yes, another mechanical problem. So we will probably be here for hopefully less than a week. The good news is that the transmission seems to be fixed, i.e. we go forward and reverse and nothing leaks.

The view coming into Catania is very impressive because the city lies at the foot of Mt. Etna, crowned with smoke rising from this active volcano. But the port is a working one and not very attractive. There are no anchorages, but we can Med moor against the wall for free. We will try it tomorrow and tell you how that works out. Wish us luck.
