We had Cloud 9 berthed for the winter along the southern coast in Sicily in Marina di Ragusa. About 30 minutes, the ancient town of Ragusa is high in the hills and has been traced back to the 2nd millennium BC. The town has been in the hands of many occupiers including the Carthaginian, Romans, Byzantines, the Arabs (for almost 250 years) and the Normans. A beautiful, historical town.
