August 2020 - Sardinia West and South coast

-
Image
The west coast of Sardinia is a savage coast, often difficult to navigate when the strong mistral blows and without many shelters.  We left Asinara after a great moon night. These are our suggested spots: 1. Fornelli passage 2. Grotta di Venere 3.  Capo Caccia 4. Port Conte 5. Alghero 6. Bosa Marina 7. Mal di Ventre island 8. Cala Domestica 9. Porto Flavia e Pan di zucchero 10. Carloforte island 11. Porto Scudo 12. Porto Giunco 13. Villasimius 1. First nice passage from Asinara island is the Fornelli ; one mile long and less than 80 meters wide with an average of 5 meters shallow waters. Westward follow 301° dromes alignment, eastward 72° alignment. 2. The Grotta di Venere , is a cave reachable only by land climbing down 650 steps. By sea you just can approach it but anchoring is not allowed. 3.  Capo Caccia  is the  culmination of  an impressive  15 miles long cliff up to 400m high.   4. Port Conte , a protected large bay just between Capo Caccia and Alghero. Very good holding and 3 s

For the last stage of 2021 two superlative visits: - Palos (Spain) , place of preparation of the 3 caravels and departure point of the Greatest Expedition of Cristoforo Colombo; - Ria Formosa (Faro-Portugal) , the Heaven on earth for anchorage; Palos  is located on the left bank of the Tinto River estuary where it joins the Odiel River. It' s famous because from its small village of La Rabida , on August 3, 1492, Cristoforo Colombo aboard the Santa María, Vicente Yáñez Pinzón aboard the Niña and Martín Alonso Pinzón aboard the Pinta set sail for the Greatest adventure:  Prove to the world that for the 1st time sailing to the West they could discover new islands and new continents. Having studied and researched the texts of Colombo ( Diario di bordo ), of his son Fernando (in Le Historie ) and of Monsignor Las Casas (in  Historia de las Indias ) as a great fan of the 15th century Descobritores I feel compelled to report some little-known facts of this great adventure. the 3 caravel

August 2021- Guadalquivir sailing up to Seville

-

  A true sailing enthusiast CANNOT avoid sailing up the Guadalquivir up to Seville. The navigation of the Guadalquivir is not binding but must be planned carefully by contacting the: Port Authority of Seville,  T +34 954 24 73 00 -  puertodesevilla@apsevilla.com The port authority releases all the informations relating the tides and relative timetables to be respected for navigation up to the first dam lock (buoy n.72) where you must arrive on time in the late evening for the dam to open and then continue the navigation to the drawbridge entrance to the center of Seville. It's a full day of motoring because sailing is prohibited. The peculiarity of this navigation is to plan well your average speed in order to be able to arrive at the locks and the drawbridge at the booked times. In fact it is forbidden to anchor on the entire course of the river! Once you leave the last town, Bonanza, the navigation develops in the splendor of the Parque Nacional del Estoario del Guadalquivir . Fe
