Journal of the ninth day on board

11th May, 1999

After two months of work and organisation the Alicudi left Arbatax today, and reached us in Gallipoli after 80 hours of navigation.
Franco (the shipowner), Stefano, (the captain) and Adriana (the mate) are tired but excited about the expedition which is starting and which will give them the opportunity to stay on board for many weeks.
