Bit rusty but here goes!
Thursday 5th May
After a day and a half of blowing old boots we made the break and headed out from Cagliari (which felt very odd after nearly six months). Luckily the sea was not still whipped up and we had a very swift passage towards Sicily.
First half motor sailing with buzzes from several pairs of dolphins, lots of sunbathing turtles and hundreds of very odd sailing discs is the only way I can describe them. They were transparent, about the size of a 50 pence piece and had a semi circular sail vein that stood proud of the surface. Jellyfish possibly. Might be the reason for so many turtles?
Richard and Ruth in Waveney Harrier left in the early hours instead of our lazy 11am. 25 hours later, few passing ships, a very starry night with shooting stars and satellite watching (obligatory) we arrived very tired at the Egadi Islands West of Sicily. Found Ruth and Richard in a sheltered cala (Cala Rotonda) and had a celebratory beer and siesta on Friday afternoon.

Drinking a toast to Paul who is 30 today!! Happy Birthday Paul. Will organise a dolphin fly past in celebration when you come out... promise x
