This morning Bravo watch woke up to glassy seas which allowed us to get some sleep.  Even in light air it can be pretty noisy downstairs.  Sails furling in and out require big winches to do there jobs and the interior of modern carbon race boats serve as acoustic amplifiers for those down below.  We have our new drifter up and the zero is hooked up and ready to go.  Phaedo 3 is just up ahead of us a mile or so, looks like they need breeze like everyone else.

The town of Messina is off to port and Mount Etna, all 11,000 feet of her is in view off our stern.  So far this race has provided plenty of things to look at, including the glowing lava flows of Mt Etna last night.

The wind is expected to swing left into Southwest at some point this morning which will have reaching and running out of the Strait.  Until then we’ll wait.
