Marsala Sicily


After a gentle evening in sardinia time and wind dictated pushing on to Sicily,
a leg of around 180nm, the port of Marsala was elected as our stop which would be just for fuel and a restock of the larder.
Marsala is the town with the largest population in the provice of Trapani. It lies on Cape Boeo, otherwise known as Cape Lilybaeum, at the westernmost tip of Sicily. Well known for the locally produced sweet red wine.
Having previously visited its not the prettiest port around or the sweetest smelling, but it is the first in Sicily for provisions.
After a short 3hr stop we were on our way again.
