We just threw out the anchor in a nice little anchorage off the coast of Sicily. We spotted the lights of Sicily around midnight last night. The northwest coast of Sicily is just beautiful. There are very large majestic cliffs along the edge of the ocean. We pulled into a little cove a bit west of Palarmo, Sicily. We only plan to stay here one night and move over to Palarmo in the morning.
The pictures are a sunrise shot of the coast of Sicily followed by a view of some of the cliffs. Note the small lighthouse buildings at the base of the cliff and the walls built behind it to protect it from falling rock. The last shot is of the shoreline from our current anchorage. Check out the walls up on the point of the cliff. They are actually the support for a road that winds its' way to the top. This is a busy little place with a lot of recreating going on around us. Boats are coming and going in the anchorage and wind and kite surfers are zooming all around. Hopefully it will settle down a bit tonight!
