Up relatively early to prepare for departure from Isola Alicuda for Isola Liapari at 07:15. Mill pond conditions, under motor. The anchor winch had been squeaking for for some time and was not lifting the chain at the right speed. Mick and I pulled the capstan and gypsy off and noted extreme wear in the gypsy, resulting in the chain starting to encroach into the rope jam section of the gypsy, hence the higher load when the chain was trying to release into the chain locker. Clean and greased as a temporary measure. On the list to be replaced over the winter along with a check and service of all the Lewmar winches over the winter break. Anchored off Punta Scaliddi, Isola Lipari. Clean bilge, swim, to shore for lunch and supplies. In the evening we caught up with Angus, India, Alice and Josh for dinner. They were spending a few days at Lipari after India and Angus' wedding. Good night.

Dinner in Lipari with newly weds and some of the wedding party
