Journal of the thirtyfourth day on board

5th June, 1999

Have you ever seen Siracusa from the sea?
It is a fabulous sight. Unfortunately we arrived as the sun was setting and we stayed just one night.
The Coast Guard has been efficient and always ready for us. Thanks to their help we have been able to take equipment as well as researchers on and off while remaining at sea and without interrupting the pasturing of the sea.
The only regret has been not enjoying Siracusa.
The pasturing was interrupted for around 33 hours but we didn't see anything.
In the evening we disembarked at Marzamemi, the most southerly tourist port of Italy, where you can still see sail boats constructed by hand.
