we had a very pleasant 3 day sail towards sicily accompanied with dolphins. only in the last five hours when we crossed the gap between the tip of italy and sicily the weather turned bad. the winds blew at force 7 at least (35 knots) and the sea became nasty. the boat was with minimum sail and was healing a lot and of course we were soaked, specially esteban who was at the helm. it was quite the little storm. nothing happened to us or the boat but we started feeling a bit scared of crossing the messina strait in a few days. we had already read that it was bad, but with a lot of wind and from the wrong direction, it could be really really bad… but we continued towards sicily and decided to worry about crossing the messina strait to the north later.
