with Mario M. 59 years old
SATURDAY
Boarding in the afternoon in the Portorosa marina, Furnari (Messina). After filling the galley and taking a seat in the cabin we are ready to set sail, we leave Sicily behind and with a fresh cross wind we sail towards Lipari along the island of Vulcano which welcomes us from its always active crater. We spend the night in Lipari in the port of Pignataro.
SUNDAY
Lipari - Pumice Quarries - Evening Panarea. After the classic breakfast with mulberry granita we take an excursion to the Castle of Lipari which rises on the sea in a rich archaeological area, we are in the upper part of the city and from there we overlook the entire bay of Marina Lunga and Marina Corta and the city low. The medieval cloister of the ancient Benedictine-Norman monastery is annexed to the Spanish cathedral, here, immersed in total silence and surrounded by the shimmering sparkle of the sea, we still feel the ancient sacredness of the place. Back on board we pull up the sails and driven by the wind we head towards Panarea, along the way we stop in the northern part of Lipari for a refreshing swim in the turquoise sea under the now disused pumice quarries. We spend the night in Panarea aperitif on board and everyone ashore for dinner.
MONDAY
Wake up in Panarea - Stromboli evening
After the classic bath granita, white bone with gaseous bubbles and stop in Basiluzzo. We head towards the Sciara del Fuoco, the side of the island of Stromboli where the volcanic materials emitted in the eruptive explosions from the main crater of the volcano accumulate. The show that Stromboli offers us with the continuous eruptions is unique and thrilling. Dinner and aperitif ashore. We spend the night at anchor, between Strombolicchio and Piscità, a fraction of Stromboli.
In the afternoon we sail to Pollara on the western side of Salina, the natural set of the film Il Postino. The evening promises to be peaceful and we decide to stop at anchor in the bay of Pollara, protected by the high cliffs while in the distance the moon sets behind Filicudi. Night at anchor dinner on board.
TUESDAY
Stromboli - evening in Salina
Leaving Stromboli we head to Salina which is the greenest island of the Aeolian Islands and for those who love the mountains the extinct volcano of Monte Fossa delle Felci with its 962 meters. it is an irresistible challenge.
