After visiting Pompeii and hiking to the top of Mt. Vesivius, we left Procida and sailed by Capri over to the town of Positano, on the Amalfi coast, where we anchored for one night. It is a beautiful place, but packed with young American couples and students. The anchorage is very rolly (even on a cat) due to all the boat traffic. We left Positano the next morning early and sailed to Sapri, a small town on the southwest coast. We spent a day in Sapri walking around the town waiting for the Tramonte to wind down in the Adriatic (strong winds in the Adriatic on the other side of Italy). We then sailed to Vibo Valencia, sailing fast, and covering 84 miles in about 10 hours or so. We sailed over to Scilla, planning to transit the Straights of Messina, which is one of the trickier channels for small boats to pass through due to ship traffic and strong currents. Scilla is one of the towns Odysseus visited in Homer’s Odyssey and where Scilla (a 12-legged monster) lived attacking passing ships.
