We will depart in the morning, Monday, for Sarucusa, Italy. It is a 313 NM passage and will take about 54 hours if we can make 6 knots. Our objective is to arrive during daylight hours so as long as we leave here by 7:00 AM and make 5 knots we will arrive before dark.
We do intend to do some touring in Sicily and may stay a week before moving on to Hammamet, Tunisia.
We’re comfortable here in Pilos but have no shore electricity or water. We can make both onboard of course so no problem. We have about 200 gallons of water onboard and our main battery bank is at 91% so we’re fine.

Sincerely,
Randal Johnson
