Sailing yacht Ula departs Syracuse and works north up the Sicilian coast toward the Messina Straits, covering a series of anchorages over several days.1:03 From Syracuse the crew motors 13 km to Augusta in 6–11 knots, finding it calmer than expected overnight.1:12 The next leg to Capo Molini, roughly 22–25 miles with tacking, ends at a tight anchorage where a mooring ball costs €10 per night but went uncollected; severe multidirectional swell required deploying a stern anchor to reduce rolling.3:13 Leaving at 0600 in 17–23 knots, the crew carries two reefs in the main and one in the genoa, later shaking out the genoa reef as conditions ease past Taormina with Etna visible seven miles off.6:07 The Messina Straits transit runs five to six hours in 20–24 knots on the nose; the crew radios VTS before entering, notes whirlpools and eddies pulling the boat off course, and passes swordfish boats and heavy ferry traffic.10:07 After the straits they anchor in Seca Rosaroma, then motor 30–32 miles to Tindari, a nature-reserve anchorage with a prominent sandbar requiring boats to stay behind yellow markers.12:40 A furling-line pulley problem is identified en route.17:16 The crew notes a week of forecast light winds ahead and discusses pushing toward Sardinia.16:45
