Another nice day with great weather, so we headed from Salina to Filicudi. Service battery was low so we had to start the generator but after 2 hours nothing charged? Dohh, might help to have the right settings and set it to charge properly. Got there without issue and this time remembered to two the dinghy without the outboard on! Not much happening on shore and as it was a very hot day, just swam and chilled and napped and swam and chilled and napped and … .
Fun in Filicudi
The modern name of “Filicudi” is a corruption of the ancient Greek name for the island, Phoenicusa (Phoenician island). The island, like the other Aeolian Islands, was settled since the Neolithic Age, around 3000 BCE. As evidenced by archaeological findings, the island was occupied by a new people during the Bronze Age. The island was uninhabited for many centuries until occupied by the Greeks. Roman and Byzantine remains can also be found on the island.
