Aeolian Flotilla, With the Weather In the Loop
A marine-planning site for an Ocean Reef Yacht Club flotilla through Sicily’s Aeolian Islands.
- For
- Skippers planning the 3–10 October Aeolian flotilla
- Worth noticing
- It compares ECMWF, ItaliaMeteo–ARPAE, and Météo-France guidance, then scores real legs and berths against shelter thresholds.
Field notes
The page treats the flotilla as a repeatable planning problem rather than a static itinerary: each route leg is tested at departure, midpoint, and arrival against forecast wind and sea conditions. It also exposes model disagreement instead of collapsing every source into one answer. The Stromboli guidance includes a specific mooring location, an anchoring warning, and links to volcanic-monitoring sources, while the site explicitly limits itself to planning aid rather than navigation.
