Today we got to Capo San Vito, the most NW tip of Sicily. The wind died down, the water was turquoise blue so we decided to anchor just South of the marina. There were several other boats already here. The lighthouse sits on a low-lying point in the distance.
After settling in we deployed the dinghy and headed to shore. Definitely a tourist town with many shops and restaurants. We headed to the beach and found a Happy Hour going on at one of the bars. We sat in the Roto-Molded chairs (John was so excited to see that someone could do that…he used to roto-line shipping containers and knows the process well). We decided they need cup holders and ottomans to match…in every color. We ordered a Coca Light (the European way to say Diet Coke) and a Rum. All we got were two glasses of Coca Light. We began to explain that we would like a shot of rum as well. After many moments of communication failure the waitress finally understood Rum (pronounced like Room we found out) and brought us two cups half full of Rum…OMG. Well, we diluted the Rum and ate some of the Antipasto treats and enjoyed watching people on the beach. Finally it was time for dinner and we headed to a place for Sicilian pizza. We were a bit disappointed because it was not square like we expected so we might have to try again. A wonderful anchorage for the night!
