Past L'Infresco with its lovely harbour of refuge, lonely as a bay in a desert island, its silent shade and its ancient spring.

The wind is south by west at first, but it will go round in an hour or two, and before noon you will make Scalea--stand out for the reef, the only one in Calabria--with a stern breeze.

You have passed the most beautiful spot on the beautiful Italian coast, without seeing it.

There, between the island of Dino and the cape lies San Nicola, with its grand deserted tower, its mighty cliffs, its deep, safe bay and its velvet sand.

What matter?
The wind is fair and you are for Calabria with twenty tons of macaroni from Amalfi.
