Prawie osiedliśmy na Sycylii. Wejście do portu na styk. Odc. 171

After 700 nautical miles and a week at sea, we reach Sicily! But the island doesn't let us in easily. Entering the marina at San Vito Lo Capo is a minefield: underwater rocks, an obstructed channel and a sandy shoal where — despite all our caution — we come to a stop. The depth sounder reads 0.1 m under the keel, and we still have a battle with tangled mooring lines ahead of us. The reward waits ashore: one of the most beautiful beaches in Sicily, the Sanctuary of Saint Vitus, and pizza… with potatoes. We also tell the story of how Daedalus fled to Sicily and how King Minos, who chased him there, met his end — and why Saint Vitus is always shown with dogs. Then we set course for Cefalù: racing dolphins along the way, and discovering on arrival that a floating pier can also be a rocking pier. How do you leave a port clearing the bottom by a hair? And who wins a race against a dolphin? 0:00 How do you moor when the lines are tangled? 0:17 Approaching Sicily after 700 nautical miles 0:41 Capo San Vito – a tricky marina entrance 1:50 Three marinas to greet us – we pick Costa Gaia 2:08 Aground!
