Discovering Sicily: A Land of History, Flavor, and Beauty Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean, is a jewel waiting to be explored. With its stunning coastline, ancient ruins, and rich cultural tapestry, this Italian island offers something for every traveler. From the Greek temples of Agrigento to the Baroque streets of Noto, Sicily tells the story of civilizations that have come and gone, leaving behind architectural wonders and timeless charm. Mount Etna, Europe’s tallest active volcano, looms over the island, offering adventurous hikes and breathtaking views. The cuisine of Sicily is just as unforgettable. Fresh seafood, savory arancini (stuffed rice balls), and sweet cannoli showcase the island’s culinary excellence. Don’t forget to sip on a glass of Marsala wine as you enjoy the sunset over the sea. Whether you’re wandering through Palermo’s bustling markets, soaking up the sun in Cefalù, or exploring the hidden corners of Syracuse, Sicily promises an experience like no other. It’s a place where history, nature, and flavor come together in perfect harmony—an island you’ll long to return to.

We did a major refit on our sailboat, and one of the key jobs was replacing the cutlass bearings — the parts that support the propeller shafts and keep vibrations low when the props spin. To do this, we hauled the boat out of the water, dropped the rudders, pulled the shafts, and used a heat gun to loosen the glue holding the old bearings in place. Once they slid out, we pressed in brand-new bearings, reinstalled everything, and got ready to launch again! It’s one of those behind-the-scenes jobs that makes a huge difference in how smooth and reliable the boat feels underway. Follow along for more sailboat refit projects, cruising life, and ocean adventures!
