The beginning of our second Charter. Filicudi

For those of you who have been wondering... This is the yacht that takes us places. All decked out for charter, anchored in Aranella and waiting for the guests.
With the guests onboard the moon put on a show. She was in full splendour for most of the charter. That's one of the tiny, wee ferries that stop in here...
Off we set, leaving the mainland behind, on a windy but flat sea day. 8 hours of sailing with Alicudi beckoning us from hours away, we finally dropped anchor in a Filicudi bay to a deep pink sunset, blood moon and sapphire blue, crytal clear water...enjoyed by the mass of jelly fish.
With decent holding for our anchor the Captain and I actually got to do stuff! We went ashore and 'explored' with the guests, the proof being my feet on this typical pebble beach. Amazingly not a black sand beach like all the other Eolian Islands so far.

And then there was the grotto exploration. We took the dingy into The Cave, almost missing it as the entrance is substantially smaller than the interior. This photo shows the entrance with the cave pebble beach in the background
