We plan to depart Palermo today, Saturday and head East across the northern coast of Sicily. Our tentative plan right now is to stop at a little town called Milazzo. This is the last bay before the Straits of Messina. We will anchor out and get a fresh start in the morning for the passage of the straits. We want to be fresh for this passage in case we encounter the Hydra Scilla or the whirlpool Charybdis in the straits. These are just legends of course (Mom) but it's good to be prepared. Ask Homer if you would like more information about the hydra and whirlpool.
Our next port will be Taormina a little bit South of the Straits. Taormina is an ancient Roman-Greek temple site. Charlie has an assignment to do some photography work there.
