We chose to check out from Italy at Porto Empedocle so we wouldn’t have to go around to Trepani. Another day of motoring into headwinds with only a few hours of sailing was ahead. Conditions were better than the day before and we arrived in Porto Empedocle at 1700 where Giuseppe helped us into a berth.
