EP 155 SAILING THE AEOLIAN ISLANDS LIPARI PART 01· Discovering Hidden Island of Mediterranean Sea

What are you doing here?

From here I have a beautiful view

of the volcano and the fumaroles

In this Marina di Vulcanello

it have this small private beach
where you can go down

It's beautiful!

The sailors are really
nice and friendly

I love it!

Are you okay here at
Marina di Vulcanello?

If you arrived here after a storm

you could come onto land and lie down

Look, a skydiver!
I've saw several today

In that little wooden house
among the trees

is the office of the
Marina di Vulcanello

We're leaving Vulcano,

In the middle of a forest,
black sand

with hammocks,
in a private beach

We're leaving Vulcano Island

let's get the mooring lines

and get away from this pretty buoy

in Marina di Vulcanello

- Good!

- Are you ready?

- Yes

- Are you removing the fenders to see if
they'll hire you on that boat?

- Hire me, please,
hire me!

- No, I don't want to work as a sailor
on a boat like that

It's a 60-meter Perini

Here we have the Vulcanello,
the small volcano

and on the other side Lipari

Guys, as you can see, having internet access
while we're sailing

is essential!

To check the weather forecast,

access port reservations, and above all,

to stay in touch with you,

upload videos,
and reply to your emails.

It's very important for us the Internet

That's why we want to talk about Saily.

It's an app we've installed on our phones,
and it's been very useful.

Previously, we had
traveled to several countries

looking for phone cards.

I remember when we had
to look for SIM cards in Italy

while sailing on a boat.

Imagine how much work
we're saving ourselves now!

With Saily, you'll have internet
from the very first minute.

Just download it and
choose the country you're traveling to

and where you need this internet data.

Saily has service in over 180 countries

Just download the Saily app
or if you can't access it

go directly to the website Saily.com/Mylife

'Coz the goal of everything we do
is to continue

discovering beautiful landscapes.

How about we continue
discovering Lipari?

-Fantastic!

Let's continue discovering
more aspects of Lipari!

Three rocks, let's see if I can
avoid it, ha ha ha

Here we have Lipari, Panarea
and Stromboli

We haven't stopped the motor yet and
I've jumped in to look at the anchor

because in this area there are
so many rocks, seaweed, and everything

It's stuck, not well stuck,

but enough to hold the boat up.

Here, in theory, according to Italian
regulations, you can't stay here

because you can't anchor
so close to the beach.

Guys, we found
this beautiful beach

as you can see,
can only be accessed by sea

Many of the comments
we receive,

are about
our lifestyle,

and how wonderful it
looks in our videos

Most of the time, this is true.

But in order to enjoy
this lifestyle,

it is essential to understand
that on board a sailboat

we are not in control
of our destiny.

It is the sea that decides
at every moment.

When we arrived here,
in the south of Lipari

we immediately fell in love
with this wonderful place,

We would liked to stay here for the overnight and

film this beautiful beach

in the light and loneliness
of the early morning.

But the conditions are not good and
we must continue sailing.

We are heading northwest
of the island of Lipari

to find protection

from the southwest wind
that continues to blow.

I’m going to give a bit of forward throttle

because when it's windy

it's not good for the anchor windlass

has to do all the work
of dragging the boat

Look, guys!
You can see the town of Lipari

It's the most important town
in the Aeolian Islands

Lipari!

As always, we need
a reason to celebrate something

to open this extraordinary bottle of wine

that we had saved
for a special occasion

It's a bottle of wine,
It's not Sicilian wine

It's a very special wine
that came from Argentina

A friend of ours brought it
from a winery

it's a Sunal wine, from 2019

- Shall we eat?

- Give me a piece

- Delicious, full-bodied, eh

- I've had enough
for now

We are now in the town of Lipari.

Let's discover Lípari!

Look at those streets
so narrow!

- And full of flowers!

- Shall we go this way?

- Yes

- What do you think?

- Very pretty

We're in Lipari,

we've come down to see the town
and have breakfast

- Look, they have dried tomatoes and
fresh tomatoes

- Very good!

With its little port and
the boats lined up

Lipari is the most touristy island
of all the Aeolian Islands

This has contributed to it losing
its authentic charm

It is full of shops, bars,
terraces

Now we are going to go up
to the castle of Lipari

as always,
stairs to climb

- Oh, look, Josep!

- A beautiful view,
full of boats anchor

- Look how cool!

Looks like we're here.

I can see the gate to get
inside the castle walls

Lipari is divided by two bays

one longer and one shorter
and in between

and higher up is this fortification

and the other one is smaller

where there are some small fishing boats

and it's in the center of town

- Shall we go there to see it?

- Yes, let's go

A very beautiful landscape
of all the roofs of Lipari

houses, the church

After climbing stairs
now we have to go down it

- Shall we start?
-Let's go!
