This week we’re sailing from Scilla,in Calabria to Sardinia via the Aeolian Islands. We talk about cruising apps, connectivity and what makes a good charter destination, and much more.

But all this is no excuse for the STAR CLIPPER to pump clouds of toxic black exhaust fumes into the sky above the bay for hours on end. They steamed into the anchorage around 0700 with a particularliy nasty belch of fumes and then settled down to emit the steady stream you see in the picture, until we left around mid day. (and who thought it was a good idea to rum the exhaust pipe up the mast!)

This episode comes to you from Roccella Ionica, Calabria.
Links to stuff we discussed:
- SYRACUSE, ARCHIMEDES AND THE SEIGE OF SYRACUSE
- UNOFFICIAL SPONSOR // LA ICONICA - Aussie Chicken empire - we applaud your place of birth!
- BOARDWALK - Owned by US Ambassador to Italy and significant Trump supporter - Tilman Fertitta - utterly offensive

Images from Sicily- “Throughout the history of the human race, no land and no people have suffered so terribly from slavery, from foreign conquests and oppression, and none have struggled so irrepressibly for emancipation as Sicily and the Sicilians.”-―Marx and Engels

This episode comes to you from west coast of Sicily, near Siracusa. Apologies in advance for the sound quality. This is what happens when you try and make a podcast, on deck, while you're sailing, with an engine going...We're chatting southern Sicily, Greek ruins, cloud inversion, Sam and Jim.

Episode Three- Crossing from Sardinia to Sicily, anchors, holding tanks and pistachio gelato.

This episode comes to you from TORRE DELLE STELLE - Tower of the Stars 15nm east of Cagliari on Sardinia.
