2002 Map

Anchoring stern-to and with the bow anchor on a very long chain almost on the other side of the small town harbour of Santa Marina Salina, observing a few hours later - when the wind had picked up and had started to blow in gale force from the SE right onto our beam - a Siremar ferry which entered the harbour and moored right on top of our anchor thus rendering it impossible for us to retrieve our anchor or to bring out a second bow anchor and eventually ending up running our engine in gear for more than 8 hours in order to keep our stern off the jetty - sailing means learning.

Matt: Hiking from Salina Marina to the summit of the 962-m high extinct volcano Monte Fosse delle Felci, being caught by heavy downpours and subsequently getting seriously lost for hours in the uninhabited, densely wooded mountains.

Refuelling with 150 litres of diesel fuel for € 0.93 per litre from the fuel jetty in Santa Marina Salina.

DM Konni: Scubadiving at the u/w mountain of Secca del Capo which rises out of the deep blue up to a minimum depth of only 12 m right in the middle of the Tyrrhenian Sea at N 38° 37.312' E 014° 54.640', after having completed a search operation with GPS and echo sounder, milling and circling around with the ship for two hours in order to find this spectacular submerged rock tower and dive spot.
