Wandering Cefalù – Quiet Streets and a Bright Idea - Sailing Helios S03E08
We leave the anchorage under light winds and motor-sail along the northern coast of Sicily to the beautiful and historic town of Cefalù. This is our second visit, and it’s just as enchanting as we remember. With tourist season only just beginning, we enjoy wandering the quiet streets, soaking up the atmosphere without the crowds.
After two peaceful nights at anchor in the harbour, it’s time to move on—but not before we put a new idea to the test. We’ve been searching for a better solution to our anchoring lights, and we think we’ve finally found one that improves both stern navigation visibility and cockpit lighting.
Join us as we explore a Sicilian gem and plan a small upgrade that could make a big difference onboard.
