We had a nice crossing last night from the "sole" to the "heel" of Italy. We are now anchored in the marina of Santa Maria di Leuca. The winds were very calm and the seas flat last night so we were motoring most of the way. We got a little wind around 3 AM and were able to sail almost the rest of the way into port.
The calm seas last night offered some great star gazing after the moon set. Reflections of the stars, planets and the Milky Way could easily be seen across the ocean. Keep an eye out tonight for aurora lights at all latitudes because of a big geomagnetic storm heading towards earth. I know I will!
