Siracusa – Marina di Ragusa

Bit of a tough day. We had 59 miles to make and knew it was going to be motoring into it. Choppy wind over current conditions with late afternoon thunderstorms made for an uncomfortable ride and gusty conditions.

Our day was peachy by comparison to the German boat that ran over fishing nets some ways before Ragusa, in the middle of a thunderstorm. We could not understand why they were slowly tacking into 25 knots and rain until they got to the harbour entrance. We were well impressed by these “real sailors”!
