17th September

We set off after an early breakfast to climb the volcano once again. We came back via Antonio's for a granita and booked a table for the evening at Maurizio's. Tomorrow's winds look favourable. After that it's going to be hard to make progress westward. David and Nanci checked into a room for the night as we were considering leaving to sail overnight and make the most of the weather. After much discussion and dithering we decided to stay as did most of the other boats. Sadly the Rally is in danger of falling apart.
