The adventure kicked off with four boats and 42 absolute legends – mostly mates, mostly sailors, and all ready for a top week in Sicily. We’re on a gorgeous Oceanis 51 this time around, and spirits were sky-high from the get-go. Picked up the boat from Marina di Portorosa in Tonnarella and slipped lines just after 1pm. The weather gods were kind, serving up a beautiful 12-knot breeze – perfect for a cruisy sail towards the dreamy Lipari Islands. Sails up, tunes on, and just good vibes all ’round. We dropped anchor off Lipari where the water was crystal clear, warm as a hug, and too tempting to resist… everyone dove in for a splash. Sun, sea, and (of course) a healthy amount of drinks followed. Perrine took dinner to the next level with a veggie pasta that blew everyone’s socks off – might’ve converted a few meat lovers, too. Bellissimo.
