Vulcanic islands and sailing boats

On this sailing trip during Easter, we explored Sicily and the Lipari Islands, also known as the Aeolian Islands.

This sailing trip was organised by SIRUB, the sailing club of Ruhr-University Bochum. If you live in the Ruhr area and want to learn sailing, feel free to visit SIRUB.com.
