Our first day in Capo d’Orlando was spent cleaning Arctura and getting the shore lines ready for the forthcoming storm. We’ll be here for a few days, probably until Saturday as it’s to windy to go the the Aeolian island and do some anchoring, which is our intention. Winds in the marina hit 42 knots and perhaps more when the log wasn’t recording.

Just after 1400 we ventured to the Marina office and met the very charming Laura who helped us with local information and car hire companies etc.

We then walked a few hundred yards to “Ristorante Villa Bagnoli di Nibali Giuseppe”. A very nice local place and we were presented with a fantastic seafood starter, a swordfish steak and chocolate desert.
