19th September

In the night the wind had done a U turn. After a rolly night we didn't want to stay so headed out. It was hard work motoring to windward but we persisted. We struggled on for 9 hours and fifty miles until we rounded the final headland and could sail the last twelve miles to our destination of Castellamarr Del Golfo where we moored next to Armando, our leader. On mooring I managed to get a rope around the propeller. Once that was sorted we had time for drinks, a light meal and an early night, for once safely attached to a stable pontoon.
