Cruising the Aeolian Islands in summer involves navigating heavy ferry traffic, frequent hydrofoil wakes, and crowded anchorages. The crew reports that anchorages at Vulcano, Salina, Panarea, and Lipari are consistently busy, rolly, and subject to significant swell from passing commercial vessels. At Vulcano, the crew anchored in 8 meters over a mix of sand and rock, noting the island's active volcanic steam and heat.1:41 Salina offers a marina and town amenities but suffers from constant ferry noise and gusty conditions. Panarea presents similar congestion, with high prices and limited space for dinghies. To view the lava flows on Stromboli, the crew opted for a 50-euro excursion boat from Lipari rather than sailing their own vessel, citing unpredictable winds and easier logistics.12:02 The transit from Lipari to the Sicilian coast covers approximately 55 miles.17:55 While refueling at the yard in Termini-Imerese, the crew observed the salvaged superyacht Bayesian, which sank near Porticello following a severe weather event.18:59
