Today, with sails full of wind on our way to Elba, the sea once again sent us its messengers. Dolphins, majestic and talkative, danced and sang beside us for a good five minutes that felt suspended in time, almost eternal. Our paths keep crossing everywhere: the Amalfi Coast, Greece, Calabria, Sicily, Tuscany… As if they were silent guardians of our journey, spirits of the sea guiding and protecting us. Maybe they’re following us, or maybe it’s the sea itself weaving our destinies together.

Here we are…almost back home! We’ve reached the mainland, not far from our home port, right in the heart of our favorite playground: the Tuscan Archipelago.

What a passage!! An unforgettable 33-hour sail covering 274 nautical miles: magical sunsets, a fruitful sunrise for fishing and a breathtaking moon guiding us as we arrived at Isola del Giglio. Pure sailing magic from start to finish!

We set sail this morning from San Vito Lo Capo towards Terrasini, where tomorrow we’ll welcome the owner and crew before starting our big adventure: sailing day and night from Sicily to Liguria. Just before arriving in Terrasini, our dolphin friends came to greet us once again! What an incredible sight!

Here we are in San Vito Lo Capo, with its stunning and unmistakable coastal landscape. It almost feels like Rio de Janeiro, with mountains rising dramatically above the beach. Tomorrow we continue towards Palermo to meet the owner and guests, forming the crew for the great passage from Sicily to Liguria…wind permitting!

Fuel in Trapani and decisions to be taken: Check the generator here or sail to Palermo. EDIT: We decided to change oil and filters of the motor and generator in Trapani, do some laundry and stay at the port for two nights. And finally try the amazing home made Cassata in a restaurant here😋

Not everyday could be a good day.. I feel a bit sick, but with this view🤩

Approx tracking of a sailing in Favignana.. to busy to start tracking before leaving the bay😁

Fooooooodish! Three days in Sicily feel like gaining 10 kilos of happiness! Irresistible food, endless flavors, and the true taste of the island. Sailing here is not only about the sea, but also about culinary experiences!

After two nights in Trapani waiting for Aeolus to calm down, we finally set course for Favignana. Our guests asked for a marina stop…and so a marina it is! Now we’re hoping for a beautiful sunny day tomorrow to continue our Sicilian sailing adventure.
