Waiting Out The Storm

Every morning we wake up to 40 or more knot winds – and it’s unclear when this will abate. 

Our decks appear dull red till we clean them each day. They’re covered in the dark orange sand blown in from the Arabian and Sahara desserts  – the Sirocco has arrived.

We’ve enjoyed our few days in Trapani, but are now eager to get moving again. 
We hope for a better forecast for tomorrow… and we hope for a window in the winds…
