| Afterwards we visited the Benedictine cloister with its many slender columns. Each alternating pair was exquisitely decorated with mosaics, and each capital portrayed a different theme. |

| Early Monday afternoon, June 12, we departed Palermo for Cefalu, 33 nautical miles away. A special memory will always be the departing waves from the staff of this small sailing club as they undid our lines. Six hours later we approached the headland at Cefalu. This headland, known as �La Rocca�, provided a dramatic backdrop to the town. Cefalu�s cathedral and twin towers dominated over the medieval town in front. We anchored just inside the harbor breakwater on the other side of �La Rocca.� |

| Cefalu with its narrow streets was quite charming and was now a popular tourist resort in Sicily. On Wednesday we went into town for a few hours to explore. Unfortunately at this time our walking was limited as Mary had acquired an acute case of bursitis in her left knee. Her knee had become irritated just after our haul out in Arbatax, and she had been using a walking stick ever since. The great amount of walking around Palermo, though, had caused more irritation and now her knee was quite swollen. |
