EVENING STROLL - Weekend 19 / 20 May, days 26 & 27.
Some photos of the lovely beach side promenade and town
square of Marina di Ragusa.
Pizza, pasta, other Italian specialities and of course Sicilian
ice cream are everywhere. After work and siesta on Saturday we did some late
food shopping and enjoyed an ice cream on a beach looking at the sea.
Meet the various ducks who live in the Marina (known here as
Porto Turistico, Marina being a coastal place not a boat place, as in Spanish).In
total there are about 6.
Each day we need to relax. Anita was doing yoga on the
pontoon with the black storm approaching and lightening. She did not finish
before the rain started. We went into the boat but it did not last long.
The
next crochet project is also taking place, an off the shoulder top to keep
upper body from constant exposure to dangerous sun rays. She follows YouTube
videos but has no pattern so it is fun to see her trying it for size every few
rows.
We follow wind and weather forecasts from windy.com and
windfinder.com. The forecasts from the latter seem often to underestimate the
actual wind and gusts in the marina. Our flower pots have been blowing over
from the cactus / basil garden. On Sunday afternoon there was a lull in the
“moderate’ East wind. Actually it was more than moderate today. A few minutes
later it sarted blowing lightly from the West and a few minutes later the wind
was making music throughout the Marina in the rigging as it increased in
intensity. Perhaps the centre of low pressure passed right over us, or a
weather front passed?
