| An Italian fishing trawler that greeted us. |
At last! After 5.5 days, we finally hove in sight of land.
A cheerful passing Trapani fishing trawler greeted us as we approached the harbour. We called up the Harbourmaster on the VHF and were enthusiastically directed towards our new berth for the night. So far, so good.
Timing was perfect – as just after we reached the mouth of the harbour, the Sirocco wind began to pick up…
By this point I had been preparing the Can Opener’s next shopping list for about 3.5 days. These sorts of things need planning.
And now we had arrived in the Land of Food and could put my plan in action!
After docking, checking in with the marina office and customs (one and the same), the storing of much gear and a quick hosing down of the boat, I took the Can Opener and crew out for a hearty pizza dinner.
Even better than the pizza we agreed, was the Patati con Mozzarella!
