11th June

It was a windless night and we all slept well to wake up in our wonderful anchorage. There was time for swimming and paddling the kayak before setting off to Stromboli. Once there we picked up a buoy and went ashore to explore and have an ice cream. At dusk we motored round to see the volcano erupt. About every ten minutes flame shot into the air followed shortly after by a rumble. A few seconds later the boat rocked as a series of waves passed through. We then had to find our mooring buoy in the dark.
