Wendy, Chris and I are now in Trapani, on the NW coast of Sicily after a lovely 30 hour crossing from Sardinia. Wendy and I spent 5 days getting Cara Mara back in the water after the winter, before Chris joined us for the crossing. The weather was very kind and we had a very gentle sail, only running out of wind for the last few miles. Trapani is a very old city first established by the Phoenician's, a real mixture of very run down splendour and some lovely restored streets.

| Wendy was fascinated by the flamingos arriving at the salt lagoons just outside Cagliari, where Cara Mara spent the winter. We were told there were none a few days before, but we saw hundreds, with more arriving each day. |
