South east corner

We had a slowish passage from Marina di Rugosa. The first four hours we sailed (drifted) an hour, then motored an hour. Eventually the breeze filled in and we had a good sail. This is Isola della Correnti (actually a peninsular), the south eastern tip of Sicily. We could see boats anchored inside the cape, and the pilot identifies it as a jumping off point for Malta. We kept going a little while, for better shelter.
