The bow slips free of Trapani's harbor at 09:30, the sail filling as the island chain comes into focus — limestone cliffs, whitewashed houses and the water changing color in every direction. Wind and sea set the day's tempo: short reaches between coves, quiet anchorages for swims and a slow afternoon approach into the tiny ports of Favignana and Levanzo.
