North exit of Messina straight from Scylla
Departed Reggio at 06.30 to gain calm conditions and the whole trip was straight forward . No whirlpools or sea monsters . A Policia Finanzia came along side and told me to follow them to the middle of the channel which was odd because for my size and favorable currents you’re supposed to stay inshore and out of traffic lanes. I think they were helping me as I got 5.5 kts where they left me I only had 3.8 before. Then a very large coast guard ship radios me to say keep to his starboard which put me off course , but no problem as I’m now in Scylla home of the mythical monsters.
It’s lovely and I’m in the cheap seats on anchor because they wanted €60 for a buoy!! Thieves..
That’s Katrilli the white blob furthest away..
Winter camouflage to disguise boat from authorities!
If you zoom in on the red blob that was my view of Etna coughing last night from the marina 20 miles away. Through the binoculars it was a brilliant view!
