Time also to go back a couple of days to Christmas Eve when on our trip out we stopped at the top of the hill leaving the bay of Peschici to get a shot of the glorious beaches to the West when we noticed that the bar across the narrow track down to the trabucchi we can see from our house on the far side of the bay was open.
So down the track we went and met a man who said that he was open but only had white or rosé wine. That was OK with us so armed with a tumbler of local rosé we investigated this working fishing platform.
It has so much standing and running rigging it's like being high up in an old square rigger.
All the standing rigging is galvanised wire and everything is supported back to holes in the rock.
Joints in the wood are made with wire lashings
The blocks are handmade
and so are the windlasses
After a great photographic hour we headed off for lunch.
