We decided the next day was the day to head off and cross from the boot to the heel of Italy as bad weather was approaching and we didn't have enough time...
Sailing Sunday
We Leave the marina in Roccella Ionica after refueling, refilling our water tanks and getting alllllllllll the laundry done we continued our journey.
What really happens when you pull into a marina? We fix everything quickly and take Jackson for another adventure to explore the town of Roccella Ionica, Italy
We begin navigating the south coast of Italy which is not popular for cruisers due to the lack of sheltered bays and marinas!
We spent an entire day around Naxos and then made the trek up the mountain to Taormina, it was such a hot day and we took the LONG way up!!
We say goodbye to Malta after 2 months of great memories and amazing people! Bittersweet to say goodbye, sad to go but excited for the next part of our journey!
On the morning we were set to leave the yacht club we accidentally get salt water in our fuel tank, which becomes an entire ordeal trying to sort out parts...

After an awesome overnight stay in Blue Lagoon, Comino Island/Malta we moved anchorages to avoid the crazy crowds of tourists and meet up with our friends.
We sail over to St Julians bay to meet up with Paul and Lucy overnight! Had a great time swimming, relaxing and enjoying some drinks!
We give you guys a little boat tour as requested from family and friends, and explain our short-term plans. We are invited to a boat party but I stay home.
We head down to the southern part of Malta to Ras Il-Fniek to a secluded bay! it was gorgeous and quiet with only a few other cruisers the first night!
After being charged triple of what we expected at the Grand Harbour Marina, we moved to the Royal Malta Yacht Club to a temporary pontoon!
The boat is almost ready to go and take out for our first excursion next week after we provision and change marinas with the help of our new friends.
We head to the grocery store and do a huge shop, get a few more boat jobs done, and start getting the boat ready for our first sail!
We still haven't been able to find the correct gas pipe for the stove to replace the old one with, so we take the ferry into Valletta for a little expedition.
Ryan organised to have a Bimini built so we can sit outside under shade comfortably and not burn his pale Scottish skin!
Our Gas lines for our stove needed replacing as they had expired back in 2012. Until we find the right part its Cheese and bread for us!!
When we set off to go cruising, we made the decision to leave our pets that we love dearly and leave them with our parents. Why? Why not take them cruising? ...
