9th September

Once again the forecast was for light winds becoming stronger from the direction we were aiming for. Today the sun was actually up, just, as we left harbour. We headed for San Leone, 20 miles up the coast. The plan was to get there early enough to visit Agrigento in the afternoon. Agrigento was the fourth largest city in the known world. This was some time ago. It is now, apparently, Sicily's most impressive Greek ruins. We spent a couple of interesting hours there although one roped off temple and several piles of old stones do not compare to Petra or the Parthenon.
