Palermo to Favignana Island, Sicily

12 October 2018
Left early at 6 am and motor sailed to Cala Rotondo on Favignana Island in the Egdali Islands, western end of Sicily. Really nice spot, and semi enclosed bay, another yacht here, so hopefully a settled night, no wind to speak of, wonderful rock formations.
13 14 15 16 October
Sailed from Egdali islands to Sardinia
We arrived in the late night to Porto Malfalto and anchored in the big bay with a German catarmaran and several other yachts to our starboard, the night was less than perfect, windy and rolly, but glad to get some sleep, in the morning we moved around to behind the Island and had a much better deal there, less roll and wind, stayed a night there, rain and cold but nice to not be moving again.
