Plenty of yachts cruising around here in SE Sicily. Several boats from Licata are now here in Siracusa and it looks pretty busy on the AIS with yachts heading towards Greece in hopes of them opening for boats on July 1st. Our friends who wintered in Greece send pictures of empty bays, but I think that's about to change drastically (unless they decide to not open at the last minute).

And of course it's Italian summer holiday season (and weekend to boot), so lots of small local boats, waterskiers, kitesurfers, windsurfers and such all around. Not a lot of UK boats around compared to previous years, but perhaps they've all reflagged like us! :unsure:
