The Experience

We were already out past the port of Trapani before I realized how salty the air tasted—like it clung to my lips. Our skipper, Marco, was whistling something half-familiar as he steered us towards Favignana. The sea was that glassy blue you think is fake until you see it. First stop was Cala Rossa. I remember the sudden hush when the engine cut—just water lapping, gulls somewhere overhead, and Marco pointing out the old tuff quarries carved into the cliffs. He told us stories about smugglers hiding there (maybe true, maybe just Sicilian humor). I tried snorkeling but mostly just floated, staring up at that sky.

There was this moment at Cala Azzurra where someone handed me a cold drink—lemony, sharp—and my hands were still wrinkled from swimming. We drifted for a while before heading into Favignana’s port. The village felt sleepy; old men playing cards outside a café, laundry flapping above narrow lanes. Lunch was just grilled fish and tomatoes in some tiny trattoria Marco recommended (he waved at everyone like he knew them all). I tried to order in Italian—got laughed at gently by the owner, but she brought us extra olives anyway.

After that we skirted around Levanzo—the stack rising up suddenly like some movie set—and stopped at Cala Fredda. The pebbles there are smooth as eggs; I pocketed one without thinking (is that allowed?). Swimming over the beds of Poseidonia felt strange—soft and springy underfoot. Marco let us decide how long to linger everywhere; no rush at all. By late afternoon, sunburnt and happy-tired, we sipped another drink as pine trees leaned over the last quiet cove. I still think about that silence sometimes—you know?
