We left Sweden in the end of April and flew down to Fuimicino, Rome. It was a great moment to see our lovely boat again after 5 months. We had a wonderful time together with other sailors in the marina. You could smell the smoke from the BBQ almost every evening. After 3 weeks we left the marina and sailed along the Italian coastline to the south. We visit a lot of wonderful places, Ponza, Capri, Amalfi and so on. We stayed almost every night on our anchor, but in Capri we went in to the marina. One night there, was the same prize as for a month in Rome!! But it was worth it.
After Capri we sailed to Amalfi and then down to the Liparian islands. It is a few islands north of Sicily with active volcanoes. It was a great feeling to drop the hook beside an active volcano and see bubbles coming up from the seabed just beside our boat and to smell the sulphur from the crater of the volcano. After two weeks we crossed over to Sicily and enjoyed all of lovely anchoring bays on the north side of the island. From Sicily we sailed down to a little island, Pantelleria. From here we continued down to the African continent and stayed there for a month.
On our way back to Sicily we visited Lampedusa and then Malta. We spent a wonderful time on Sicily before we sailed eastwards to Greece.
In the end of august we entered the Greece archipelago together with a whale (!).
The Greece islands in the Ionian Sea are like the paradise (I think!). A lot of wonderful island and anchoring places for all of us.
Now is s/y Ayla on hard stand just outside Preveza town, Greece. Our plans are to start the next sailing- season for 2008 in April.
