Départ des tranquilles et proprettes Anses d’Arlet pour Saint Pierre plus au Nord. En Martinique la nourriture est hors de prix, surtout les légumes, un peu hard quand on est végétarien… &lt;br /&gt;Dilemme pour ces vacances : aller vers le Nord (Dominique, Guadeloupe) ou le Sud (Ste Lucie, St Vincent et les Grenadines) ?? Le temps n’est pas terrible en Martinique depuis quelques jours c’est ce qui fait peut être fait pencher la balance vers le Sud. Indubitablement la plus belle escale sera celle de Soufrière, après Rodney et Marigo Bays: mouillage spectaculaire entre deux pitons à l’odeur de souffre et aux fonds marins poissonneux. Ensuite, direction St Vincent et les Grenadines, enfin nous passons St Vincent, peut être à tort, car nous cédons aux rumeurs qui disent cette étape peu sure. Nous faisons les formalités d’entrée à Bequia, qui est aussi l’occasion de faire l’avitaillement et de remplir nos réservoirs d’eau. A partir de là nous pénétrons dans le bleu piscine des Grenadines encore relativement préservées des promoteurs: Mayreau, Canouan, Tobago Cays et Union, chacune a son charme. Retour en Martinique, à Fort de France pour que Florence et Gilberto puissent attraper leur avion et refaire l’avitaillement avant de retourner au Marin. Les Alizés ont été soutenus tout du long avec un peu de Nord dans l’Est ce qui nous a valu pas mal de vent dans le nez.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;24 novembre : des victuailles pour des mois, réservoirs à ras bord, et du bon vent annoncé, je me décide enfin à quitter Las Palmas, direction les Antilles. Pas de passage par le Cap Vert comme prévu car des amis qui arrivent à la Martinique fin décembre. C’est une navigation sans grande surprise puisqu’il suffit de suivre les alizés, mais 2600 milles en solo est pour moi une nouvelle expérience.&lt;br /&gt;22 jours plus tard Ata Jata est au mouillage au Marin en Martinique. Pas de casse, peu de bateaux croisés (ou bien c’est que je dormais), deux jours de pétole, deux autres de vent très faible, 12 heures de vent assez fort, et même une nuit au près. Quelques dauphins, des milliers de poissons volants, et la dernière nuit avec une hirondelle épuisée.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-B0qJ_2ng_nE/Txc8g_xDBoI/AAAAAAAAAys/I0zWS6gtOhY/s1600/IMG_1783.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer;

La mécanique en a décidé autrement. Dès la mise en route d'inquiétants bruits d'engrenages semblent venir de l'inverseur, seule piece non neuve. Ce fut le début de nouveaux travaux et d'attente qui nous prirent deux mois...Un deuxième inverseur est installé avec adaptation du bati moteur (meulage, soudure alignement...), mais le problème persiste! on attend un troisième inverseur, cette fois il est tout neuf. Re adaptation du bati moteur. Rien n'y fait, toujours cet étrange bruit d'engrenage qui ne tourne pas rond. Après l'avis de plusieurs mécanos, des fabricants du moteur et de l'inverseur, une piste est trouvée: le plateau damper. On nous dit qu'on peut quand même naviguer en attendant que les experts déterminent celui qui convient. Christian nous l'enverra en Corse.&lt;br /&gt;On quitte finallement Sète le 26 juin. Deux chandeliers n'ont pas aimé notre départ.(ils seront réparés sitôt au mouillage à Porto Vecchio. Merci le groupe électrogène qui permet de faire marcher le poste à souder). La météo n'est pas super: peu de vent (dans le pif en plus) de la pétole pour les nuits et un coup de vent à l'approche de la Corse. Trois jours plus tard nous arrivons dans les bouches de Bonifacio, le vent aussi. C'est un bon moyen de voir comment se comporte le bateau. Pas de problème avec un bon 35 noeuds. Ca mouille un peu quand même. Nous jetons la pioche à Rondinara pour deux nuits avant d'aller retrouver Muriel, Stéphane et Elliot dans la baie de Porto Vecchio.&lt;br /&gt;Le plateau damper a été changé depuis, mais même si c'est nettement mieux, il y a toujours un petit bruit dans l'inverseur... on fera avec. &lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;A href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Lw7Lp0bRtYE/ThsVQCI6-wI/AAAAAAAAAtc/qYa7hjmh9oE/s1600/IMG_1220.jpg"&gt;&lt;IMG id=BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5628115524525947650 style="WIDTH: 200px;

On doit faire tomber la dérive pour une vérification complète du système et pouvoir partir tranquille.&lt;br /&gt;Sinon ça commence à prendre forme, le portique est monté, le panneau solaire de 140W fixé, restera encore à installer l’éolienne et à faire quelques améliorations au système électrique et finir de raccorder le moteur.Installer un feu tricolore en tête de mat à la place de l’ancien feu de mouillage a été toute une histoire … pas évident de passer un câble sur 16m dans une gaine. On a perdu le messager deux fois et on a dû aller à la pêche à l’intérieur du mat.&lt;br /&gt;Il y a encore pas mal d’autres bricoles à faire, en particulier Ludo est en train de fabriquer un davier car l’ancre risquait de nous refaire l’étrave à chaque mouillage. Ensuite quelques pots d’antifouling et zou bientôt à l’eau.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;embed src="http://widget-ef.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=gn&amp;il=1&amp;channel=2954361355595128559&amp;site=widget-ef.slide.com" style="width:426px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;div style="width:426px;text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=gn&amp;at=un&amp;id=2954361355595128559&amp;map=1" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://widget-ef.slide.com/p1/2954361355595128559/gn_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=gn&amp;at=un&amp;id=2954361355595128559&amp;map=2" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://widget-ef.slide.com/p2/2954361355595128559/gn_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=gn&amp;at=un&amp;id=2954361355595128559&amp;map=F" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://widget-ef.slide.com/p4/2954361355595128559/gn_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-3115670832162541007?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/3115670832162541007/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=3115670832162541007' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/3115670832162541007'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/3115670832162541007'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2011/01/atajata-enfin-sur-bers.html' title='Ata Jata enfin sur bers !'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/TTshe7k4e9I/AAAAAAAAAsc/dP1rTBPujKs/s72-c/IMG_0962.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-4871617604508921454</id><published>2010-10-05T23:26:00.027+02:00</published><updated>2012-01-31T19:23:56.204+01:00</updated><title type='text'>le nouvel Ata Jata</title><content type='html'>Voici donc le voilier sur lequel on bricole sans relâche depuis fin juillet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/TKua7mBWE5I/AAAAAAAAAqU/z3dF3UJLWBA/s1600/COBRA+VERDE+2.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 218px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/TKua7mBWE5I/AAAAAAAAAqU/z3dF3UJLWBA/s320/COBRA+VERDE+2.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524679716509193106" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;C'est un dériveur intégral de 12m90 bi-safran en acier construit par l'ancien propriétaire chaudronnier de métier sur les plans de S Benusiglio il y a une quinzaine d'années.Le type:Anar 42 (ça ne s'invente pas!).Ne cherchez pas c'est un modèle unique qui n'a qu'un seul petit frère, un Anar 39.&lt;br /&gt;A l'intérieur deux cabines arrières sous le cocpit,une table à carte,une longue cuisine en coursive faisant face au carré,un tatami central (couchette vraiment double),une banquette de quart,puis vers l'avant la salle de bain/toilettes et enfin une cabine dans le pic avant.De nombreux rangements partout.Pour nous c'est un grand changement.&lt;br /&gt;Depuis plus de 6 ans il dormait à sec.C'est une grosse baille et à réveiller ça prend du temps: remplacement du moteur par un tout neuf (Beta Marine 50cv). Changement de quelques toles qui avaient un peu rouillées (dans la baille de mouillage,dans un coffre de la jupe et du compartiment à gaz),nouveaux hublots.La dessus quelques 30 litres de peinture et antidérapant plus toutes les modifications pour le mettre à notre goût.Bref un refit complet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Miss Ka a traversé toute la France en Jumpy pour venir nous récupérer tout désœuvrés, avec tout notre bordel, un bon 400 kilos de trucs divers et variés. Incroyable ce qu’on amasse même dans 9m30 !&lt;br /&gt;Sur la route du retour vers la Bretagne, nous sommes passés par Sète pour revisiter et faire une offre pour un voilier qui nous plaisait beaucoup. Offre qui sera acceptée 3 semaines plus tard alors que nous squattions chez Yvain et Pauline. Encore une petite semaine chez Miss Ka et nous voilà en route vers le sud en 508 (qui n’avait pas roulé depuis 2 ans !) pour prendre possession de notre nouveau chez nous et surtout entamer les travaux.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mais revenons d’abord sur les épisodes précédents de cette longue quête du bateau idéal, qui au passage n’existe pas, sauf pour ceux qui gagnent au loto et qui peuvent se faire construire un Boréal 50 tout neuf !&lt;br /&gt;Nous avons mis Ata Jata en vente en décembre 2009 et avons aussitôt activement cherché son remplaçant (pensant qu'on aurait plein de temps avant la vente. Mais non!). L’idéal aurait été d’acheter un nouveau bateau, de le ramener en Corse avant la fin de notre hivernage, de transférer toutes nos affaires et de remettre Ata Jata ensuite à son nouveau proprio.  Bon, ça c’était l’idéal.&lt;br /&gt;Nous cherchions en gros: un 12m, en acier, en bon état, avec du volume et de la hauteur sous barrot. Pendant que je continue à courrir les conférences de l'ONU, Ludo passe sa vie sur internet à parcourir toutes les annonces au point de connaître parfaitement l’état du marché de l’occase en France et alentours. &lt;br /&gt;Nous partons en Espagne visiter un Caroff Sterven MKII, prix intéressant, bien entretenu et équipé mais c’est pas le coup de foudre; dans le port d’à côté, on tombe sur un Rêve des Tropiques en alu, mal entretenu, intérieur sympa mais avec un gros problème d’électrolyse dans la quille. Le gars était prêt à baisser à fond son prix, mais nous pas à refaire une quille; Ludo avait trouvé le même à vendre en Italie avec le même problème.  Il nous faudra quand même un deuxième voyage en Espagne pour nous convaincre que ce bateau est trop pourri. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nous écumons toujours les annonces, les sites web en français, en anglais. Il y a plusieurs bateaux intéressants aux Antilles mais ça fait loin et c’est compliqué. A Port Saint Louis (2 visites là encore), un broker nous présente un Esquina 38, en bon état, plan de pont sympa, intérieur spécial mais bon, super équipé, le prix nous semble un chouia trop haut du coup on négocie, jusqu’à ce qu’un autre gars l’achète à notre barbe, salaud de broker qui ne nous a pas tenu au courant ! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qu’à cela ne tienne nous connaissons maintenant ce modèle Esquina qui nous plait. Il y en a 3 à vendre en France, celui de Port St Louis nous est passé sous le nez; il en reste un à Toulon et un à Tancarville.  C’est parti, ferry pour Toulon. A la vue du descriptif, celui-là c’est le bon ! Grosse déception : rouille perforante un peu partout, pas de voiles et j’en passe… encore un gars qui n’a pas vu vieillir son bateau et en demande trop cher. Là on est dégouté, on s’apprête à rentrer bredouille en Corse, mais non ! A deux heures de remonter dans le ferry, on loue une caisse à Toulon et c’est parti pour 3000 bornes avec Tancarville en point de mire. J’oubliais de préciser que le voilier de Tancarville appartient à un personnage, bon Normand du cru, pas foutu de nous envoyer des photos potables… Rythme infernal : route, sandwichs, visites de bateau, nuit dans la bagnole : La Ciotat, La Seyne sur Mer, Port St Louis (encore !), Grau du Roi (coucou au bateau de Yann et Pauline), Port Camargue, Cap d’Agde, La Rochelle, Marant, Rochefort, La Roche Bernard, Caen etc… choux blanc et pour finir l’apothéose : Tancarville, où nous attend un Esquina, certes, mais troué comme une passoire et moche. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/TIK6mJGYy2I/AAAAAAAAAps/JOOt09z_UGg/s1600/nautic+diesel.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 210px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/TIK6mJGYy2I/AAAAAAAAAps/JOOt09z_UGg/s320/nautic+diesel.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513174058295413602" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Bref c’est la déprime, retour archi-bredouille. Pourtant, sur notre « longue route », nous étions passés par Sète. On avait flashé sur un bateau à sec, posé là. On s’était dit «ah ouais, celui-là ça serait bien, c’est ce qu’il nous faut, il a de la gueule, il est énorme. Mais bon il n’est peut être même pas à vendre ou hors de prix ». On note le numéro du chantier, on appellera à tout hasard. On perd le numéro immédiatement of course, mais grâce au flicage photographique de google map nous avons pu retrouver l’endroit et le bateau, venir le visiter et entamer les négociations… &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tout ca pour dire que trouver son bateau n’est pas facile, c’est un parcours jalonné de désillusions, mais aussi de rencontres avec des gens sympas et touchants à qui on aimerait bien acheter leur bateau sauf qu’on l’aime pas ; et de gens détestables qui forcément on le bateau dont on rêve et ça fait chier de leur lâcher toutes nos économies.  Mais bon c’est fait ! Maintenant on est dans les travaux qui devaient consister en un rafraichissement mais s’apparentent plutôt à une résurrection.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-5233168674371927286?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/5233168674371927286/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=5233168674371927286' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/5233168674371927286'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/5233168674371927286'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2010/09/recherche-voilier-desesperement.html' title='Recherche voilier désespérement'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/TIK6mJGYy2I/AAAAAAAAAps/JOOt09z_UGg/s72-c/nautic+diesel.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-1119336349222763693</id><published>2010-06-18T16:21:00.016+02:00</published><updated>2010-06-20T09:52:22.460+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Bye bye Ata Jata</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/TBuInZ0A_cI/AAAAAAAAAok/aRDDZTZYKBU/s1600/Cala+de+Algayerens+(18).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/TBuInZ0A_cI/AAAAAAAAAok/aRDDZTZYKBU/s400/Cala+de+Algayerens+(18).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484127181779041730" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ca fait longtemps que je n'ai pas publié sur le blog, pas de l'hiver en fait.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hiver pépère à Porto Vecchio et pluvieux aussi. Les beaux jours sont de retour depuis quelques semaines mais avec un goût un peu amer. Et oui, cette année l'été ne rimera pas pour nous avec mouillages tranquilles, baignades, potes à bord, bronzette et grande bleue...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lundi Ata Jata partira rejoindre son nouveau propriétaire et pour ne rien vous cacher, ça me flanque un sérieux cafard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bien sûr plus d'une fois, j'ai pesté contre cette boîte de conserve: trop rustique, trop petite, trop lente; pas assez ceci, pas assez cela... mais ça va quand même être vachement dur de s'en séparer. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;C'était notre premier bateau, notre chez nous, notre cabane flottante de laquelle on pouvait toujours voir l'horizon. Ata Jata ne nous a jamais fait défaut, c'est un bon bateau et c'était un bon choix. Je me souviens quand on l'a acheté, moi j'y connaissais rien. On a dû se décider très vite, moi je n'étais pas sûre mais rien qu'à voir la tête de Ludo quand il le regardait, c'était celui-là! Si c'était à refaire, je le referai sans hésiter. J'espère qu'il sera autant chouchouté qu'il l'a été et qu'il fera encore bien des milles car il est fait pour ça. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bien sûr si on te vend c'est pour acheter un autre rafiot plus grand pour avoir plus de confort, plus d'autonomie et voyager plus loin, mais il n'empêche que maintenant qu'on y est, ça me fait chier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah et puis c'est peut être le moment de vous le dire : "Ata Jata" c'est de l'hindi et ça veut dire "vient, part" (come and go).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bon vent mon bateau.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-1119336349222763693?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/1119336349222763693/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=1119336349222763693' title='2 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/1119336349222763693'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/1119336349222763693'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2010/06/bye-bye-atajata.html' title='Bye bye Ata Jata'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/TBuInZ0A_cI/AAAAAAAAAok/aRDDZTZYKBU/s72-c/Cala+de+Algayerens+(18).JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-7819653684867066578</id><published>2009-10-21T22:40:00.011+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-23T10:24:10.686+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Breizh connection</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/St9zbjC15CI/AAAAAAAAAjw/UWU0u7G431E/s1600-h/IMG_6371.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/St9zbjC15CI/AAAAAAAAAjw/UWU0u7G431E/s200/IMG_6371.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395157795713967138" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Au printemps on avait essayé de se capter avec Yvain et Pauline quand nous ecumions toutes les calas des Baléares mais c'était trop tard pour des billets d'avions pas chers. Comme ils avaient un besoin urgent d'UV, ils avaient finalement cédé aux sirènes du tourisme all inclusive. Cette fois-ci ça se goupille bien. A leur arrivée en Corse avant de s'attaquer à la deuxième moitié du GR qu'ils avaient commencé il y a deux ans, Yvain et Pauline sont passés voir Ludo à Porto Vec (ça faisait plus d'un an!) et se sont retrouver à nouveau une grosse semaine plus tard pour quelques jours relax à altitude O. Pas de bol, je les rate de peu et avec eux les derniers beaux jours. Pour moi, l'été indien a plutôt des airs de mousson poisseuse à Bangkok, où l'ONU rassemble à nouveau pour deux semaines tous les états afin de préparer l'accord de Copenhague sur le climat qui devrait se conclure en décembre. Autant vous dire que mon optimisme légendaire s'effrite méchamment, vu l'avancée ridicule de la négociation.   &lt;br /&gt;Départ sur Ata Jata de Porto Vec direction la baie de Porto Novo pour la première nuit et les premières baignades. &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/St9zEzbM6UI/AAAAAAAAAjg/9GLTJS4JOE8/s1600-h/IMG_6369.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/St9zEzbM6UI/AAAAAAAAAjg/9GLTJS4JOE8/s200/IMG_6369.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395157404974115138" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ensuite cap sur l'île Lavezzi via le passage de Piantarella que Ludo emprunte maintenant les yeux fermés. Et justement un autre voilier qui passe plutôt près des ecueils se plante sur des caillasses...du coup Ata Jata reste sur zone à faire des ronds dans l'eau au cas où, surtout que le skipper du bateau "naufragé" n'a pas l'air d'avoir la bonne réaction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/St9y1vTH1EI/AAAAAAAAAjY/GsS772gKd8M/s1600-h/IMG_6361.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/St9y1vTH1EI/AAAAAAAAAjY/GsS772gKd8M/s200/IMG_6361.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395157146168448066" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Finallement Ludo prévient la vedette de douane qui arrive derrière et qui mettra un zod à l'eau pour aller donner un coup de main; faut bien qu'ils servent à quelque chose des fois.&lt;br /&gt;Ballades et baignades (parfois très matinale pour Yvain) à Lavezzi avant une escale à Bonif' et à Fazziolo. Sur le retour, Yvain s'essaye au kite à Piana puis Rondinara. Une dernière nuit à Saint Cyprien et les voilà reparti en Breizh. Ca a été court mais j'ai cru comprendre qu'on devrait les revoir dans pas si longtemps...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-7819653684867066578?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/7819653684867066578/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=7819653684867066578' title='2 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/7819653684867066578'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/7819653684867066578'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2009/10/breizh-connection.html' title='Breizh connection'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/St9zbjC15CI/AAAAAAAAAjw/UWU0u7G431E/s72-c/IMG_6371.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-4286556069912230828</id><published>2009-09-14T21:15:00.011+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-01T05:09:57.977+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Orages et trombe marine !</title><content type='html'>Ca faisait plusieurs jours que le temps était nuageux et menacant, venteux de Nord Est juste ce qu'il faut pour rendre le mouillage rouleur à Piantarella où Ludo a pu faire du kite deux jours de suite. Ce 13 septembre, nous avions décidé de remonter à Porto Vec dans l'après-m quand le vent devait tourner Ouest. Mais à 9h du mat, un orage se point par l'Ouest ce qui ne va pas le faire si le vent se lève car on est mouillé juste devant le banc de sable. Nous décollons donc sitôt le petit déj avalé dans de la quasi pétole tournoyante. A peine le passage de Piantarella derrière nous, nous sommes presque sous l'orage, le ciel est noir, ca pète autour de nous au point qu'à un moment on met le régul' pour ne pas à avoir à barrer à l'extérieur. Arrivé un peu après la pointe de Capicciolo (entrée Sud de Santa Manza), on remarque qu'une trombe s'est formée derrière nous ! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sq6fDC3HCfI/AAAAAAAAAjQ/0gLAdVqWcIs/s1600-h/IMG_6339.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sq6fDC3HCfI/AAAAAAAAAjQ/0gLAdVqWcIs/s400/IMG_6339.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381413479410764274" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La vache! Elle est super longue, tortueuse et fine. Son point de départ dans le nuage, en forme d'entonnoir est pas loin derrière mais c'est sa base qui nous inquiète. Elle tourne sur elle-même et semble venir vers nous !! On remballe les voiles en urgence et moteur à fond (tout est relatif) on se barre vers le large ! Au bout de 10min environ elle touche la terre et se résorbe...ouf! On restera sur la frange de l'orage jusqu'à Porto Vec. Stephane et Muriel sur Iman, fraîchement repeint en blanc, orange et turquoise, nous rattrapent peu avant l'arrivée. Eux étaient aux Lavezzis et ont vu la trombe de loin; ils se sont fait bien saucer par un méchant grain.  &lt;br /&gt;D'après ce qu'on a pu lire sur le net, l'automne et le printemps sont les saisons des trombes marines quand il commence à y avoir un écart de température important entre l'air et l'eau. Un peu de météorologie: Une trombe marine est une colonne en rotation d'air mélangé avec de l'eau. Elle se forme au-dessus de l'eau. Moins intense qu'une tornade, elle se dissipe une fois sur la terre. Les trombes se forment quand de l'air frais se déplace au-dessus d'eaux relativement plus chaudes. La vitesse des vents associés avoisine les 100km/h. Une autre trombe a causé quelques dégats le lendemain à Ajaccio.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-4286556069912230828?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/4286556069912230828/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=4286556069912230828' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/4286556069912230828'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/4286556069912230828'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2009/09/une-putain-de-trombe-marine.html' title='Orages et trombe marine !'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sq6fDC3HCfI/AAAAAAAAAjQ/0gLAdVqWcIs/s72-c/IMG_6339.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-1591415543684812740</id><published>2009-09-14T20:13:00.008+02:00</published><updated>2009-09-14T21:14:08.444+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Ata Jata - Love Boat</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sq6TG5vk-gI/AAAAAAAAAi4/CE09KWjNcHU/s1600-h/IMG_6332.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sq6TG5vk-gI/AAAAAAAAAi4/CE09KWjNcHU/s200/IMG_6332.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381400351543196162" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Nous avons eu pour la première fois la visite de jeunes mariés à bord ! Karine et Gab étaient en Corse histoire de prendre des vacances après the mariage, prétexte à une grosse teuf avec tous les potes. On s'est d'abord retrouvé à Bonif mais pas de bol, ce jour là, il y avait vraiment trop de vent, du coup pas de sortie en mer, on a juste crapahuté dans la vieille ville. Ca ne sera que partie remise, le 10 septembre, la météo est plus clémente, on se rejoint à Piantarella et on part passer la journée sur l'île Lavezzi. &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sq6TY4_OEMI/AAAAAAAAAjA/pP5uWNfRG-4/s1600-h/IMG_6331.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sq6TY4_OEMI/AAAAAAAAAjA/pP5uWNfRG-4/s200/IMG_6331.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381400660578013378" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L'eau est un peu fraîche à cause du vent des derniers jours mais Ludo, Gab et Karine vont quand même piquer une tête. Ensuite balade sur l'île, une fois les touristes partis, avec concours d'imagination sur la forme des cailloux. Nous avons identifié jusqu'à présent toute une ménagerie : un pingouin, un ours polaire, un dodo, deux éléphants, une tête d'indien, un phalus géant et pis moi je suis désolée, je vois  vraiment un rhinocéros, pas un cochon!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-1591415543684812740?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/1591415543684812740/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=1591415543684812740' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/1591415543684812740'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/1591415543684812740'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2009/09/ata-jata-love-boat.html' title='Ata Jata - Love Boat'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sq6TG5vk-gI/AAAAAAAAAi4/CE09KWjNcHU/s72-c/IMG_6332.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-5834262183281286936</id><published>2009-09-06T18:39:00.012+02:00</published><updated>2009-09-13T21:34:30.601+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Ata Jata "Cruising"</title><content type='html'>&lt;em&gt;August has been friends' month. We have been very happy to host successively Cédric, Vanessa &amp; Théo and Karine. It takes a little bit of organization but it’s very pleasant to have friends with us to share the beautiful spots we already knew in Corsica.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SqPqKNO7FXI/AAAAAAAAAig/fVQUul7QEUo/s1600-h/IMG_6330.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SqPqKNO7FXI/AAAAAAAAAig/fVQUul7QEUo/s200/IMG_6330.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378399841082348914" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Cédric spend about 10 days on board from August 9 till 18. Unfortunately I was away, working in Bonn, Germany at the UN Climate talks. Cedric came on the ferry from Marseille, he likes sailing and usually rent a boat during the summer but this year he had to change his plans. It was his first time sailing in the Med. The two brothers went straight to Lavezzi island with very light wind and then went up the West coast : Figari, Rocapina, Scoglio Blanco, Campomoro, Cala Longa and Bonifacio. Then they crossed the Straits for a quick visit in Sardinia, in Liscia, Porto Pollo and Isola Budelli. The last leg of the trip, brought them back to Piana, Lavezzi, Rondinara and San Cyprien. Cédric is now back to work in Toulouse, good luck!&lt;br /&gt;I came back on August 18 just missing Cédric for a couple of hours. Vanessa and her 10 year old son Théo arrived two days later. It was their first time on a sail boat and the first hours, although the sea was relatively calm, upset Theo’s stomach. We made small steps down south along the coast : we anchored in the Cerbicale islands for a first dive and then spent some time in Rondinara, then Lavezzi, our favorite spot in Cala della Chiesa that we had to leave because of a strong West wind. We sheltered in Piana for 24hours and came back in Lavezzi. &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SqPqlU5rwOI/AAAAAAAAAio/h7UPfq7MFLA/s1600-h/IMG_6233.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SqPqlU5rwOI/AAAAAAAAAio/h7UPfq7MFLA/s320/IMG_6233.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378400306997215458" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Theo and Vanessa particularly enjoyed snorkeling among the fishes in this turquoise pool. Breakfast was hardly finished they already jumped into the water! We didn’t go to Bonifacio as they both rather stay in quiet natural place rather than being drown in the tourist crowd. On the way back to Porto Vecchio we called at very peacefull Porto Novo. The two of them are now back in Lille, good luck for this new school year Théo !&lt;br /&gt;On the same day (August 25) Vanessa and Théo embark on the ferry that brings them back to mainland, Karine, also known as “Miss Ka”, arrived from rainy Brittany. For her too, the first hours at sea require some adjustments for her stomach. Nevertheless on the first day we sail with a fair East wind down to Porto Novo where we spent the night well sheltered from the swell but not from the thunderstorms. Seems like Miss Ka brought some rain in her luggage! But the weather is getting better and better. In Rondinara we spent long hours in the water, swimming and lazzying on the inflatable mattress. Then we went to Piantarella where the wind was quite strong (it’s a lagoon and a windsurf spot!), we went walking along the cliffs of Cape Spérone and enjoyed a good dinner at the beach pizzeria. Then we went to Lavezzi: for someone coming from Brittany it is amazing to see such a similar granite landscape but with sea water at 25°C ! Miss Ka came to Corsica years ago and since then always dreamed to see Bonifacio from the sea. That’s a dream easy to come true. On August 31, we enter the majestic fjord and anchored in La Catena. We spent the day being typical tourists: shopping, eating ice creams and writing postcards. &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SqPq7mMZcvI/AAAAAAAAAiw/_8ByxyFyb10/s1600-h/IMG_6312.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SqPq7mMZcvI/AAAAAAAAAiw/_8ByxyFyb10/s200/IMG_6312.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378400689596232434" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;After Bonif, we spent the last night with Karine in the nearby Paragnano bay before bringing her to Figari where she caught a taxi for the  airport. She is now back up there, in rainy and stormy Brittany, good luck with your projects!&lt;br /&gt;It feels a little strange to be only the two of us again. Since Miss Ka left, we’ve been stuck in Bonifaccio for few days as I had work to do and the weather was getting gusty. We still have no plan for the coming months as many things can happen…&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-5834262183281286936?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/5834262183281286936/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=5834262183281286936' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/5834262183281286936'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/5834262183281286936'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2009/09/ata-jata-cruising.html' title='&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ata Jata &quot;Cruising&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SqPqKNO7FXI/AAAAAAAAAig/fVQUul7QEUo/s72-c/IMG_6330.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-96486000678383798</id><published>2009-09-06T15:13:00.012+02:00</published><updated>2009-09-06T15:55:39.177+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Ata Jata Croisières - Miss Ka</title><content type='html'>&lt;A href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SqO16G1cFCI/AAAAAAAAAgA/7-oUy8n2Uis/s1600-h/P1000140.JPG"&gt;&lt;IMG id=BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378342389882295330 style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SqO16G1cFCI/AAAAAAAAAgA/7-oUy8n2Uis/s200/P1000140.JPG" border=0&gt;&lt;/A&gt;25 août- A peine Théo et Vané embarqués pour le continent, Miss Ka débarque de sa Bretagne ! Pour cette première soirée tranquille à Porto Vec, petit resto dans la ville haute, Karine a la grosse frite et nous amène des nouvelles des potes. Le lendemain, après quelques courses, départ vers le Sud. Le temps est un peu couvert et orageux, on aura même quelques gouttes ; à croire que Karine en avait ramenées dans ses bagages. Le vent est Est-Nord-Est avec une petite houle de côté fort désagréable. Après une tentative à Santa Guilia trop agitée, nous optons pour le mouillage plus peinard et abrité de Porto Novo, où nous essuyons un orage. Un cata dérape à la faveur d’une saute de vent presque jusqu’à la plage mais c’est un cata, donc il suffit à ses occupants de sauter à l’eau et de le pousser en ayant de l’eau à peine à la taille ! Le lendemain le temps est encore couvert, ce qui n’est pas plus mal pour éviter à Miss Ka de brûler dés les premiers jours. Elle se tartine néanmoins d’indice 50, deux précautions valent mieux qu’une quand on a Cassiopée en grains de beauté sur le bide et le reste de la voie lactée dans le dos ! Notre parcours est désormais bien rodé, escale suivante : Rondinara. L’eau est trop bonne, du coup le matelas gonflable est de sortie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-fbb0c729a7c647c9" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v5.nonxt3.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3Dfbb0c729a7c647c9%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1330299349%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D5B7940CC1EE9A9D30938A8BFC29185F2AADDA936.5C00F7CEB855A7413C330889EA158F107E28C08E%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Dfbb0c729a7c647c9%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DtmwEL8V8GMq2g1SEnH_rm_k4IpI&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v5.nonxt3.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3Dfbb0c729a7c647c9%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1330299349%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D5B7940CC1EE9A9D30938A8BFC29185F2AADDA936.5C00F7CEB855A7413C330889EA158F107E28C08E%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Dfbb0c729a7c647c9%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DtmwEL8V8GMq2g1SEnH_rm_k4IpI&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt; Puis, vient Piana et son lagon où nous nous prenons un petit coup de vent d’Ouest. S’il a resoudé son harnais Ludo a toujours trop mal aux doigts pour sortir son kite, dommage. Balades le long de la côte de Spérone et de l’île Piana, soirée sympa à la paillotte pizzeria de Piantarella chez les windsurfers. Dés que le vent retombe un peu nous partons pour Lavezzi, Cala della Chiesa bien sûr ! &lt;br /&gt;Il y a toujours autant de poissons qui grouillent autour du bateau et des rochers. On avait prévenu Miss Ka qu’il y a là-bas une espèce d’oiseaux, les Pufins Cendrés, qui ont un cri inimitable, entre le miaulement du matou en rut, les pleurs de bébé affamé et le youki en plastique du chien qu’on écrase. &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SqO9CaGHaBI/AAAAAAAAAgg/MRlsHfxaXTc/s1600-h/puffin.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 141px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SqO9CaGHaBI/AAAAAAAAAgg/MRlsHfxaXTc/s200/puffin.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378350229072865298" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Avec Vané et Théo on les avait à peine entendus mais cette fois ce sera un véritable concert entre 1 et 3h du mat’... Le 31 août le vent est nickel pour aller à Bonif et ainsi offrir à Miss Ka, depuis la mer, le panorama de la citadelle qu'elle avait envie de voir depuis longtemps. Mouillage à la Catena puis shopping, glace, squat de terrasse, resto, dur quoi ! Ca sent quand même déjà la fin de saison à voir le port presque vide et le grand sourire des locaux enfin débarrassés des « toutou(riste)s » ! &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SqO9e4G-qNI/AAAAAAAAAgo/Td0qkTutIuo/s1600-h/lavezzi+(34).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SqO9e4G-qNI/AAAAAAAAAgo/Td0qkTutIuo/s200/lavezzi+(34).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378350718165887186" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Miss Ka repart de Figari dans 2 jours il est temps de s’en rapprocher. Une ultime escale à Paragnano, une baie à 2M à l’Est de Bonif’ histoire de profiter encore un peu de l’eau bleue et chaude, puis le lendemain nous ralierons la baie de Figari en grande partie au moteur. Alors que Karine s’envole, nous battons en retraite vers Bonif’ car un vilain coup de vent d’ouest est annoncé. A bientôt à Pontrieux ou ailleurs !&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-96486000678383798?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='enclosure' type='video/mp4' href='http://www.blogger.com/video-play.mp4?contentId=fbb0c729a7c647c9&amp;type=video%2Fmp4' length='0'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/96486000678383798/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=96486000678383798' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/96486000678383798'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/96486000678383798'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2009/09/ata-jata-croisieres-miss-ka.html' title='&lt;strong&gt;Ata Jata Croisières - Miss Ka&lt;/strong&gt;'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SqO16G1cFCI/AAAAAAAAAgA/7-oUy8n2Uis/s72-c/P1000140.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-3868634537751692147</id><published>2009-08-31T13:31:00.008+02:00</published><updated>2009-08-31T18:40:18.410+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Ata Jata croisières - Vanessa et Théo</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Spv6NcJ-LlI/AAAAAAAAAfo/6CIaaP_ze-w/s1600-h/IMG_6229.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Spv6NcJ-LlI/AAAAAAAAAfo/6CIaaP_ze-w/s200/IMG_6229.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376165689000078930" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Le soir du 18 août je rentre de Bonn, claquée et avec une bonne crève, merci la Clim des salles de conférence ! Nous cueillons Théo et Vané à leur descente du ferry deux jours plus tard. Un petit déj vite avalé, quelques courses de frais et c’est reparti ! Théo prend la barre dés l’ancre levée. La première nav est un peu beurk alors on fait une petite halte baignade à Piana aux îles Cerbicales. Théo est le premier à l’eau et Vané inaugure ses palmes. L’eau est super claire et il y a plein de poissons différents et ça fait du bien car le soleil cogne dur. Le vent est faible mais nous nous trainons tout de même jusqu’à Rondinara. &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Spv6ySbPv_I/AAAAAAAAAfw/qeIaHnxbkJI/s1600-h/IMG_6239.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Spv6ySbPv_I/AAAAAAAAAfw/qeIaHnxbkJI/s200/IMG_6239.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376166322043338738" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Et là le rythme infernal des vacances en bateau va commencer : dormir, manger, plouf, dormir, manger, plouf, parfois un ghost rider ou un Simpson passent par là. On a pas le temps de finir notre café du matin que Vané est déjà en train de barboter.&lt;br /&gt;Le 21 août, direction notre mouillage fétiche des Lavezzi, Cala della Chiesa, histoire d’aller faire un tour en Bretagne ;-) &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Spv8Up0iSxI/AAAAAAAAAf4/9lssVfHv9Ig/s1600-h/IMG_6261.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Spv8Up0iSxI/AAAAAAAAAf4/9lssVfHv9Ig/s200/IMG_6261.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376168011950607122" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Dans cette petite anse super protégée on est peinard et on peut se balader en fin de journée quand les promène-couillons ont rembarqué leur chargement. Théo nous fait une petite démonstration de kung-fu en équilibre sur les rochers, watata !! &lt;br /&gt;Allez un petit tour au lagon de Piana tout proche, balade le long de la côte, kite surf pour Ludo qui nous fait une variante et se tord deux doigts en cassant la boucle inox de son harnais. Bon et pis comme Lavezzi c’est trop bien, on y retourne, histoire d’aller retrouver nos potes les poissons (interro après chaque baignade, attention !) qui à chaque visite nous font un nettoyage de la coque. Vané va bientôt avoir les pieds palmés.&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Spv3zEK9_gI/AAAAAAAAAfg/lH8JG3a3hpw/s1600-h/IMG_6255.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Spv3zEK9_gI/AAAAAAAAAfg/lH8JG3a3hpw/s200/IMG_6255.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376163036861955586" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le mot de Théo : « Ce voyage était grandiose ! Lors de notre escale aux Lavezzi, nous avons vu plus de 9 espèces différentes de poissons, comme le Diplodus annularis, le Sarpa salpa, Oblada melanura et enfin le Bothus podas. Nous avons fait quelques escales dans différents ports et fini par une baignade en pleine mer ».  &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Spv26QuWANI/AAAAAAAAAfY/0nOtGRuP4MQ/s1600-h/IMG_6242.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Spv26QuWANI/AAAAAAAAAfY/0nOtGRuP4MQ/s200/IMG_6242.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376162060979011794" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mais le temps passe trop vite, il faut déjà se mettre sur le chemin du retour. Nous cherchons un endroit bien abrité pour la nuit où nous n’avons pas encore fait escale, ce sera Porto Novo la double baie avant celle de Santa Giulia . On dirait un lac suisse, tout plat et entouré de collines boisées. Le lendemain, cap sur Porto Vec car le ferry part en fin de journée. Un dernier plouf près du banc de Benedettu, juste de quoi se rafraichir avant d’embarquer… à la prochaine !&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-3868634537751692147?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/3868634537751692147/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=3868634537751692147' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/3868634537751692147'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/3868634537751692147'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2009/08/ata-jata-croisieres-vanessa-et-theo.html' title='&lt;strong&gt;Ata Jata croisières - Vanessa et Théo&lt;/strong&gt;'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Spv6NcJ-LlI/AAAAAAAAAfo/6CIaaP_ze-w/s72-c/IMG_6229.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-6146696373836737607</id><published>2009-08-31T13:17:00.005+02:00</published><updated>2009-08-31T13:39:58.668+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Ata Jata croisières - Cédric</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SpuxzIrcL3I/AAAAAAAAAew/dEndCcNn-UY/s1600-h/route_sardaigne+(3).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SpuxzIrcL3I/AAAAAAAAAew/dEndCcNn-UY/s200/route_sardaigne+(3).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376086072257949554" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Alors que je m’échine à sauver la planète sous le climat frais et pluvieux de Bonn, Cédric débarque du ferry de bon matin, ce 9 août, sous le soleil de Porto Vecchio.  &lt;br /&gt;Direct les deux frangins tatent de la pétole pour se rendre par petit vent d’Est à la Cala della Chiesa sur l’île Lavezzi [20M]. &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SpuyM1zdMeI/AAAAAAAAAe4/I_lr-guZRW8/s1600-h/anse_de_rocapina+(31).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SpuyM1zdMeI/AAAAAAAAAe4/I_lr-guZRW8/s200/anse_de_rocapina+(31).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376086513867895266" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Le lendemain encore quelques 16M pour atteindre la baie de Figari par un vent de Nord Ouest qui monte progressivement jusqu’à force 5. Un saut dans la belle anse de Rocapina, préservée de toute construction, puis parmi les cailloux de Scoglio Bianco (Cap Sénétosa) pour ensuite remonter vers la baie de Propriano et Campomoro qui n’était pas top donc retour vers le Sud à Cala Longa, avant l’inévitable escale à Bonifacio, dans la petit calanque de la Catena. &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Spuzgqtz5fI/AAAAAAAAAfA/wgS_zcf-n8M/s1600-h/cala_longa+(11).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Spuzgqtz5fI/AAAAAAAAAfA/wgS_zcf-n8M/s200/cala_longa+(11).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376087954000438770" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Histoire d’aller faire un tour en Sardaigne, le 15 août cap sur les Madallena, pause déjeuner en face des îles dans la baie de Liscia parmi les kite surfeurs puis balade vers Spargi. Ne sachant pas s’il faut un permis pour y mouiller et voyant les autres bateaux déguerpir en fin de journée, replis stratégique à Porto Pollo. Le lendemain passage par l’île Budelli puis retour côté corse des Bouches, Piana étant bondée comme d’hab, Ata Jata prend ses quartiers à nouveau à Cala di Chiesa. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Spuz5yM4_gI/AAAAAAAAAfI/r_v4uxlDqNc/s1600-h/campomoro_senetosa+(37).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Spuz5yM4_gI/AAAAAAAAAfI/r_v4uxlDqNc/s200/campomoro_senetosa+(37).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376088385506573826" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Mais il faut déjà songer à remonter vers Porto Vec vu que le vent n’est pas très coopératif. Petite pause dans les eaux turquoises de Rondinara, puis dans celles poissonneuses de l’autre Piana (Cerbicales) pour enfin passer la dernière nuit à bord à Saint Cyprien.&lt;br /&gt;Cédric était venu pour voir ce que c’est la nav en Méditerranée, ben maintenant il sait : pas de vent ou trop de vent, avec des changements brusques et souvent dans le pif…&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-6146696373836737607?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/6146696373836737607/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=6146696373836737607' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/6146696373836737607'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/6146696373836737607'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2009/08/ata-jata-croisieres.html' title='&lt;strong&gt;Ata Jata croisières - Cédric&lt;/strong&gt;'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SpuxzIrcL3I/AAAAAAAAAew/dEndCcNn-UY/s72-c/route_sardaigne+(3).JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-5218608057503621458</id><published>2009-08-06T22:23:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-08-06T22:24:45.321+02:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;p style="visibility:visible;"&gt;&lt;object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://widget-e2.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" height="320" width="426" style="width:426px;height:320px"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://widget-e2.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" /&gt;&lt;param name="quality" value="high" /&gt;&lt;param name="scale" value="noscale" /&gt;&lt;param name="salign" value="l" /&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"/&gt;

Comme la mer est un peu agitée nous contournons les Lavezzis plutôt que d’emprunter le passage entre les cailloux pour atteindre le mouillage de Piantarella. Un lagon peu profond en plein dans les Bouches de Bonifacio, le coin le plus venteux de France, ça sent le spot de kite ! L’endroit est beau mais surpeuplé, la journée des dizaines de zodiacs plus ou moins gros s’ajoutent aux voiliers et aux grosses vedettes déjà au mouillage. Heureusement maintenant Ludo maîtrise le slalom en kite et commence à faire de petits sauts, pour l’instant plutôt en crapaud style difficilement réceptionnés, mais ça vient. &lt;br /&gt;Après quelques jours à Piana et une voile de kite explosée, nous partons voir à quoi ressemble Bonifacio. &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SnspKhJAkeI/AAAAAAAAAeg/AZpYqgfsUSY/s1600-h/Bonif+(15).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SnspKhJAkeI/AAAAAAAAAeg/AZpYqgfsUSY/s200/Bonif+(15).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366928641613664738" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Nav sympa au pied des falaises de calcaire blanc de la Pointe Spérone en passant par le Cap Pertusato (soit disant le gouvernail de la Corse mais faut vraiment avoir de l’imagination) et arrivée impressionnante sur Bonif. Un fjord aux hautes falaises à pic de 1,5km de long sur à peine 100m de large qui s’ouvre au dernier moment devant l’étrave. A l’intérieur c’est un gros bordel constitué des va et vient incessants des promène-couillons, des méga-yachts qui manœuvrent, des ferrys qui arrivent à fond et des plaisanciers qui attendent à la queue leuleu de se voir attribuer une place. On prend l’option gratos en allant mouiller dans la petite calanque de la Catena, perpendiculaire au fjord principal. C’est notre premier mouillage « méditerranéen » : on jette l’ancre et on recule jusqu’au plus près de la falaise sur laquelle on amarre des bouts à des anneaux ou des arbres. Balade dans la ville haute et la citadelle en plein cagnard puis le lendemain déjà marre de la foule. &lt;br /&gt;Retour à Piana où nous retrouvons l’équipe du zod Black Dog qui attend l’arrivée imminente du Rainbow Warrior II, navire amiral de Greenpeace. Celui-ci arrive le lendemain alors hop retour à Bonif’ avec une entrée, par hasard, parfaitement synchro avec le Rainbow dans le port. Il va au Quai du Commerce, nous à nouveau à la Catena. &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SnsqGcVYmRI/AAAAAAAAAeo/GtluKiqMuWg/s1600-h/RW+%C3%A0+Bonif+(9).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SnsqGcVYmRI/AAAAAAAAAeo/GtluKiqMuWg/s320/RW+%C3%A0+Bonif+(9).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366929671115544850" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Ca fait 3 semaines qu’une équipe mobilise plaisanciers, assos écolos du coin et clubs de voileux pour rassembler une flottille le 3 août pour protester contre le passage dans les Bouches de Bonif’, l’un des endroits les plus craignos pour la navigation en Méd, de cargos transportant des matières dangereuses nuisibles à cet environnement sensible. L’objectif est d’obliger les cargos à contourner la Sardaigne et de classer la zone en réserve marine effectivement protégée. Pas de bol, un coup de vent d’Ouest annoncé par BMS le matin même de la manif conduira à annuler la flottille. Néanmoins l’impact politique semble avoir été positif à voir les journalistes et les élus se bousculer pour monter à bord du Rainbow malgré la douche intégrale garantie lors du transfert en zod…&lt;br /&gt;Après ces quelques jours en bonne compagnie, nous repassons par Piana et Rondinara sur le chemin de Porto Vec où Cédric le frère de Ludo va rejoindre le bord  tandis que moi je m’envole pour la ville la plus chiante du monde, Bonn en Allemagne, ou se déroule la semaine prochaine une conférence de l’ONU sur le climat.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-2413610146458638700?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/2413610146458638700/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=2413610146458638700' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/2413610146458638700'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/2413610146458638700'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2009/08/sud-corse.html' title='Sud Corse'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SnsoGQfUo_I/AAAAAAAAAeY/2IfW3F7IT4E/s72-c/%C3%AEle+Piana+.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-1376642390535933851</id><published>2009-08-06T20:28:00.005+02:00</published><updated>2009-08-06T20:55:55.250+02:00</updated><title type='text'>South Corsica</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SnshpydyEjI/AAAAAAAAAeA/sAurggIVSZU/s1600-h/%C3%AEle+Piana++(29).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SnshpydyEjI/AAAAAAAAAeA/sAurggIVSZU/s320/%C3%AEle+Piana++(29).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366920382747120178" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;After Rondinara, we leave with the end of a West gale (yes another one !) for Piana island. The sea is a bit agitated so we prefer to sail around the Lavezzis islands instead of following the transits in between the rocks to reach the Piantarella anchorage. A low lagoon, right in the middle of the Strait of Bonifacio, le most windy area in France, looks like a kite surf spot! The place is really nice but very busy; in daytime innumerable inflatables of all sizes add up to the already anchored sailing boats and motor yachts. Happily Ludo can now dodge them while kite surfing and he starts to jump, so far in a rather interesting frog style with difficult landing but it’s improving.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Snsi8-5kcGI/AAAAAAAAAeI/Wp_o8xrYrgM/s1600-h/Bonif+(19).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Snsi8-5kcGI/AAAAAAAAAeI/Wp_o8xrYrgM/s200/Bonif+(19).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366921812014035042" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;After few days in Piana and a torn kite, we go to have a look at Bonifacio. Nice sailing along the white lime stone cliffs of the Spérone Point, the Cape of Pertusato (supposedly the rudder of Corsica with a lot of imagination) and impressive entrance into Bonif.  It’s a 1.5km long fjord, only 100m wide between steep high cliffs which opens up at the very last moment before the bow. Inside it’s a huge mess consisting in a heavy traffic of day tripper boats, mega-yachts manoeuvring, ferries arriving full speed and pleasure boats waiting in line to get a berth. We take the free option and go to the small Catena anchorage, perpendicular to the main fjord. It’s our first med style anchoring: we drop the anchor and run in reverse as close of the cliff as possible and tight the ropes to rings or trees. We go for a walk in burning sun across the old city and the citadelle, the next day tired of the crowd we go back to Piana.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SnskD9AN6aI/AAAAAAAAAeQ/dmnHG9dFOHY/s1600-h/Rainbow+Warrior.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SnskD9AN6aI/AAAAAAAAAeQ/dmnHG9dFOHY/s320/Rainbow+Warrior.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366923031275760034" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;When we arrived in Piana we meet the Black Dog team who’s waiting for the Rainbow Warrior II, Greenpeace flagship that should arrive anytime soon. She indeed arrives the next day, so we leave for Bonif again and make by chance a perfectly synchronized entrance with her into the harbor. She gets a berth at the Quai du Commerce and we go back to the Catena anchorage. For the last three weeks, a team has been mobilizing local associations, pleasure yachts and sailors clubs to build a flotilla on August 3 to protest against the crossing of the Bouches de Bonifacio, one of the most dangerous area in the Med, by cargos carrying hazardous materials that could damage this sensitive ecosystem. The aim is to force the cargos to sail all around Sardinia instead and to classify the area as an effectively protected marine reserve. Bad luck, a gale warning on the very morning of the event caused the cancellation of the flotilla. Nevertheless, the political impact seemed positive when you see local politicians and journalists fighting to get on board the Warrior despite the guaranteed shower during the taxi in inflatable…&lt;br /&gt; After these few days in good company, we go back to Piana and then Rondinara on our way to Porto Vecchio where Cédric, Ludo’s brother will come onboard while I’ll be leaving to fly to the most boring city in the world, Bonn in Germany where a UN conference on climate change is taking place.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

Nous alternons entre la baie de Stagnolu et le mouillage devant le port de plaisance quand nous devons ravitailler et faire de l’eau. La baie de Stagnolu est un mouillage pratique, bien abrité d’à peu près tous les vents, à l’inverse de celui devant le port qui se prend de sévères rafales descendant des montagnes quand ça souffle ouest. Et des coups de vent on en a eu, en gros un par semaine qui dure autour de 48h. Le premier nous a un peu surpris et nous avons passé une nuit de merde à déraper et à re-mouiller. Le fond est du sable vaseux mais recouvert d’un bon tapis d’algues qui empêche de bien accrocher. En un mois, nous avons vu un paquet de bateaux déraper et finalement renoncer et partir ailleurs ; il y en a un qui est allé sur la plage une nuit, un deuxième a bien failli mais Ludo, dans une bouffée d’altruisme a plongé pour lui planter son ancre avant qu’il ne touche le fond. Le dernier coup de vent (45 nœuds établis, 55 dans les rafales mesurés à La Chiappa à l’entrée du Golfe) était particulièrement gratiné. Nous n’avons pourtant pas été inactifs. Ludo progresse en kite surf et tire maintenant des bons bords. Il est devenu expert dans le rafistolage de boudins de kite. &lt;A href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Smhv77j4vHI/AAAAAAAAAdY/otRMMiUhjKo/s1600-h/Porto+Vecchio+(25).JPG"&gt;&lt;IMG id=BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361658431775751282 style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Smhv77j4vHI/AAAAAAAAAdY/otRMMiUhjKo/s200/Porto+Vecchio+(25).JPG" border=0&gt;&lt;/A&gt;Moins fun j’en conviens, j’ai télé-travaillé comme traductrice pour un institut scientifique allemand qui participe, via son projet à but non lucratif PREVENT à un programme d’aide aux pays en développement dans la négociation climat en vue de la Conférence de Copenhague (www.climateanalytics.org et www.eurocapacity.org ). J’ai passé un nombre incalculable d’heures à pester contre les nuées de jet-skis, skieurs nautiques et autres saucisses gonflables tractées par des bateaux sur-motorisés et pilotés par des kékés qui s’la pètent flanqués de poufs braillantes. Tous prenaient Ata Jata pour une bouée à virer et nous tournaient autour, faisant tout valdinguer à bord !! Où qu’elle est la crise ? Ici connaît pas, y a de la tune à cramer dans l’essence ! En parlant de ça, un méga-yacht euh… pardon, giga-yacht nommé « A » est venu mouiller dans le Golfe. La barcasse faisant quand même 118m de long, 3 piscines à bord, 42 membres d’équipage et un plein de gasoil de 1 million d’Euros tous les 15 jours, excusez du peu !&lt;A href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SmhxERGJIvI/AAAAAAAAAdg/HGzToZZg2uE/s1600-h/IMG_6091.JPG"&gt;&lt;IMG id=BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361659674507158258 style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SmhxERGJIvI/AAAAAAAAAdg/HGzToZZg2uE/s200/IMG_6091.JPG" border=0&gt;&lt;/A&gt; Sinon nous avons aussi commencé à faire notre pain, aux céréales, aux noix...Ludo a aussi repris la guerre contre la rouille à coups de Féral et de HB, on sait que l’armistice sera de courte durée. On est allé faire un tour à Saint Cyprien à la sortie du Golfe mais un autre coup de vent nous à rapatrier dès le lendemain à Stagnolu. A Saint Cyprien comme Santa Giulia ou Rondinara, où nous sommes de retour depuis hier, il y a foule, toujours une bonne quarantaine de bateaux au mouillage et les plages bondées mais l’eau est délicieuse !&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-1863816813317252608?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/1863816813317252608/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=1863816813317252608' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/1863816813317252608'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/1863816813317252608'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2009/07/rythme-corse.html' title='Rythme corse'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Smhu81juxhI/AAAAAAAAAdQ/twSEyO3yDSs/s72-c/Porto+Vecchio.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-4385684289032700571</id><published>2009-07-23T15:36:00.012+02:00</published><updated>2009-07-25T17:24:51.080+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Corsican pace</title><content type='html'>&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Smhp8mZjp-I/AAAAAAAAAc4/voKJudxYKWc/s1600-h/Porto+Vecchio+(13).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Smhp8mZjp-I/AAAAAAAAAc4/voKJudxYKWc/s200/Porto+Vecchio+(13).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361651846205384674" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;It’s been a month we are wandering around the Gulf of Porto Vecchio. We alternate between the Stagnolu Bay and the anchorage in front of the harbor when we need to buy food and get water. The Bay of Stagnolu is a convenient anchorage, well sheltered from all winds, contrary to the one near the harbor where you’re hit by severe gusts funneling down the hills when the wind blows from West. And we did endure strong wind, an average of a gale per week, lasting at least 48 hours. The first one caught us unprepared and we spent a shitty night dragging our anchor again and again. The bottom is made of sand and mud carpeted with weeds, anchoring is therefore uneasy. In a month we saw a good bunch of boats drag their anchors and finally give up and leave; one even run ashore one night and a second one would have followed if magnanimous Ludo didn’t plunge to bury her anchor before she hits the ground. The last gale was a particularly nice one with 45knots established and gusts at 55knots measured by La Chiappa signal station at the entrance of the Gulf. &lt;br /&gt;Nonetheless we haven’t been lazzying. &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Smhq44QMq9I/AAAAAAAAAdA/i6r7esK0OPM/s1600-h/IMG_6065.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Smhq44QMq9I/AAAAAAAAAdA/i6r7esK0OPM/s200/IMG_6065.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361652881790118866" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Ludo has made tremendous progress at kite surfing and can now tack up and down the wind. He has also become an expert in fixing punctures in blades! Less funny I admit, I have been busy doing translation work for a German scientific institute that, through its non-profit project PREVENT, supports developing countries in the climate negotiations leading to the Copenhagen conference (www.climateanalytics.org and www.eurocapacity.org). I also wasted countless hours cursing numerous jet-skis, wake boarders and other inflatable sausages dragged by over-motorized crafts handed by machos and their screaming bimbos, running full speed around Ata Jata as if she was a buoy and turning the cabin into chaos. Where is the economic depression? No here obviously: there’s always money to fill the tanks! Speaking of that, a mega-yacht hum…sorry a giga-yacht named “A” came to anchor in the Gulf. 118 meter long, 3 swimming pools and 42 crew members on board, and a €1 million bill to fill the tanks every two weeks, we took pity of them really.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SmhsqCk1izI/AAAAAAAAAdI/Qhy4AM_Utko/s1600-h/Porto+Vecchio+(7).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SmhsqCk1izI/AAAAAAAAAdI/Qhy4AM_Utko/s200/Porto+Vecchio+(7).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361654825886255922" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Beside all that, we also started to cook our own bread, with cereals and nuts. Ludo also re-open the war on rust armed with Féral and HB but we already know the cease-fire won’t last very long. We went to Saint Cyprien in the Northern entrance of the Gulf but a gale brought us back to Stagnolu after a day. In Saint Cyprien, Santa Guila or Rondinara, where we are back today, there are now about 40 boats anchored and the beaches are packed, but sea water is delicious!  &lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-4385684289032700571?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/4385684289032700571/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=4385684289032700571' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/4385684289032700571'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/4385684289032700571'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2009/07/corsican-pace.html' title='&lt;em&gt;Corsican pace&lt;/em&gt;'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Smhp8mZjp-I/AAAAAAAAAc4/voKJudxYKWc/s72-c/Porto+Vecchio+(13).JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-396137148972929964</id><published>2009-06-25T22:02:00.010+02:00</published><updated>2009-06-30T21:29:06.500+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Corse</title><content type='html'>Le 9 juin, départ tardif d’Isola Rossa, le vent est encore faible de SO. Nous ne sommes pas encore décidés sur notre programme : poursuivre vers l’archipel des Maddalena ou traverser les Bouches de Bonifacio pour être en Corse avant le rush touristique ? On verra bien comment ça se présente de toute façon on pourra explorer la côte Nord et Est de la Sardaigne lorsqu’on redescendra vers la Sicile. Nous nous trainons comme d’hab et en fin de journée nous atteignons finalement la pointe Nord de la Sardaigne et mouillons dans la Baia Reparata derrière le Cap Testa.&lt;br /&gt;Nous sommes à l’entrée des Bouches et l’île Lavezzi est à 8M, vu le vent prévu pour le lendemain et les jours suivants la côte Est de la Corse offre pas mal d’abris dont  le mouillage de Rondinara qui a l’air sympa d’après ce que nous avons vu sur le site de Quasar. Le lendemain nous filons donc vers l’Ile Lavezzi  et choisissons de mouiller dans l’étroite Cala di Grecu. &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SkPYeKxGHoI/AAAAAAAAAcY/kLuq2Vl4sbU/s1600-h/1.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SkPYeKxGHoI/AAAAAAAAAcY/kLuq2Vl4sbU/s200/1.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351358795044232834" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;La pression touristique est déjà pesante, trois bateaux viennent déversés leurs passagers sur ce petit bout de terre rocheux, classé en parc naturel. Pas de doute c’est joli, un chaos de blocs de granit blancs et roses sculptés par le vent et la mer, une nature intacte (mis à part les déchets charriés par la mer qui jonchent les plages), de l’eau turquoise et enfin à une température permettant la baignade. Nous devions seulement rester pour le déjeuner mais finalement nous y passerons la nuit et profiterons du paysage pour nous presque tout seuls après le départ des touristes…c’est ça l’avantage du bateau.  &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SkPbOJ6vHOI/AAAAAAAAAco/DDObLMW7MqE/s1600-h/9.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SkPbOJ6vHOI/AAAAAAAAAco/DDObLMW7MqE/s200/9.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351361818473209058" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le lendemain un petit coup de vent d’Ouest est annoncé, nous partons donc tôt pour rejoindre Rondinara 8M au nord, avant le début des hostilités. A 10h, nous jetons l’ancre dans cette baie en forme de coquille Saint-Jacques, bien protégée et à l’eau translucide. Ca va souffler pas mal pendant 2 jours et une nuit avec des rafales à force 8, les Bouches de Bonif’ ne sont pas si loin et le vent y accélère. Tout cela ne nous empêche pas de nous baigner et d’inspecter la coque d’Ata Jata dont la moustache verte repousse sans arrêt. &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SkPah8OQBkI/AAAAAAAAAcg/CKTnI-i484s/s1600-h/5.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SkPah8OQBkI/AAAAAAAAAcg/CKTnI-i484s/s320/5.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351361058882717250" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nos provisions touchant à leur fin, le 14 juin, nous mettons le cap sur Porto Vecchio.

We don’t know yet about our program: go on to the Maddalena archipelago or cross the Strait of Bonifacio and enjoy being in Corsica before the touristic rush? We’ll see how it goes, we can also explore the northern and eastern coast of Sardinia later anyway, on our way down to Sicily. As usual we progress slowly and late in the day we finally reach the northern tip of Sardinia and anchor in Baia Reparata right behind Testa Cape.&lt;br /&gt;We are at the door of the Bonifacio Strait and Lavezzi Island is just 8M away. In the coming days the wind will be strong and from the W, the East coast of Corsica offers a few good shelters, including the bay of Rondinara which looks nice from what we saw on Quasar’s web site. &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SkPPcKjbJkI/AAAAAAAAAbo/H0PRRX_SNts/s1600-h/2.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SkPPcKjbJkI/AAAAAAAAAbo/H0PRRX_SNts/s200/2.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351348865022502466" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;So the next day we leave for Lavezzi and choose to anchor in the narrow Cala di Grecu. The touristic pressure is there already, three charter ships come to unload their dozens of passengers on this small rocky land, now a natural reserve. For sure it’s really beautiful: a chaos of pink and white granite blocks carved and brushed by the wind and sea, an intact nature (only spoiled by rubbish washed ashore), pristine water and at last warm enough for swimming. We planned to stay only for lunch but we can't resist to stay overnight and enjoy the scenery for us alone (almost) once the tourists are gone…that’s the advantage of living on a boat.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SkPQfliPJlI/AAAAAAAAAbw/fBi10LAwaGw/s1600-h/4.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SkPQfliPJlI/AAAAAAAAAbw/fBi10LAwaGw/s200/4.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351350023316514386" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The next day there’s a gale warning, we leave early to rally Rondinara 8M up north before it starts blowing hard. At 10am we drop the hook in this round shell shaped bay, well sheltered and with transparent water. The wind will be strong up to force 8 during two days and one night; the Strait of Bonifacio is not far from here where the wind is accelerating. &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SkPR7RmyZ8I/AAAAAAAAAcA/xojW89bWLCA/s1600-h/6.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SkPR7RmyZ8I/AAAAAAAAAcA/xojW89bWLCA/s200/6.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351351598514857922" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It doesn’t prevent us to swim and check Ata Jata’s hull whose green mustache keeps re-growing. Our provisions are coming to an end, on June 14 we set course to Porto Vecchio. Once again we have to motor to reach destination before dark. We anchor in Stagnolo Bay (locally named “Golfo di Sogno”) where we meet Muriel and Stephane on Iman who are living here after they spent the winter in Bonifacio. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-7676944941922419160?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/7676944941922419160/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=7676944941922419160' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/7676944941922419160'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/7676944941922419160'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2009/06/corsica.html' title='&lt;em&gt;Corsica&lt;/em&gt;'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SkPPcKjbJkI/AAAAAAAAAbo/H0PRRX_SNts/s72-c/2.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-2671959027026336148</id><published>2009-06-25T16:50:00.007+02:00</published><updated>2009-06-25T21:50:47.811+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Along the Sardinian coast</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SkPTJRZHRHI/AAAAAAAAAcI/OjZziM37TWE/s1600-h/8.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SkPTJRZHRHI/AAAAAAAAAcI/OjZziM37TWE/s320/8.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351352938487301234" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;We spent two nights anchored in Porto Conte to catch up from our slow but nevertheless tiring passage. On June 5 at 9:30, we leave for Stintino, 25NM up NE, a small village whose wealth from tuna fishing is long gone. We motor along the cliffs of Cape Caccia to have a close look at the caves, then we sail slowing along the rather deserted coast for most of the day. Only around 3pm, the wind picks up and we reach 5 knots; the sky gets more and more cloudy.&lt;br /&gt;From a distance, we see three boats ahead of us getting their sails down to enter the Fornelli passage. You have to follow carefully the transits to get through this narrow passage between rocks, only several tens of meters wide and only 3m deep. This short cup makes you save the 20NM you would need to round Isla Asinara. We do the same, bring the sails down and start the motor when we see the wind is much stronger in this bottle neck. There’s something strange, the other boats are following a course much more north than the transits show. Ludo did prepare the navigation and the GPS route tells us not to follow them but I’m not confident. In a panic we check the course on the computer, Ludo was right and we make it without problem. As we exit the passage we have an even stronger wind on the nose. Big black clouds are gathering right behind us and we are expecting a thunderstorm to crack anytime now. We change the genoa for a gib and reef the main sail, we’ll reach Stintino, only 2,5NM far from the passage, around 9pm.&lt;br /&gt;New pontoons have been built behind the breakwater but it seems it’s still allowed to anchor. Bad luck: this harbor is open only to the South and the wind will continue to blow South all night and all next day generating a big fetch that guarantees a good shower each time we go ashore with the dingy. There’s not much to do in Stintino, except waiting for better weather and chat with our neighbors Barbara and Julian on Brinestar. They were also anchored in Cala Taulera in Mahon and left earlier for Sardinia. They have been stuck in Andraixt on Majorqua for quite some time as they found jobs there but they are now very enthusiastic to sail again and head to Greece. The reception of our Navtex is not good which is annoying when we don’t have access to internet, but we still have the SSB and the sweet electronic voice of the Italian weather forecast on channel 68 as back up.  &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SkOQShp0E3I/AAAAAAAAAbQ/FRc3EPItlcc/s1600-h/4.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SkOQShp0E3I/AAAAAAAAAbQ/FRc3EPItlcc/s200/4.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351279430192075634" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On June 7, 9:15am we take off, soon followed by Brinestar, for Castelsardo 21NM up north. In the surroundings of Porto Torres there’s a heavy traffic and we closely cross the way of a cargo and two ferries. Castersardo harbor is affordable (15 Euros). We go for a walk along the steep and tortuous streets of the old city and catch the opportunity to have our first truly Italian pizzas and ice creams. &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SkPUwb-30SI/AAAAAAAAAcQ/zbx0-JWamRA/s1600-h/6.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SkPUwb-30SI/AAAAAAAAAcQ/zbx0-JWamRA/s200/6.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351354710856552738" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Less funny we also have to do the usual chores: fill up water tanks, food shopping and cloth washing “a la mano”.The next day the flat calm is threatening but with courage we decide to leave the harbor anyway and set course to Isla Rossa a good weather anchorage in front of a small marina. It will take us three good hours to cover hardly 10NM with a weak wind against us. Nothing extraordinary here, just a small kitschy beach resort where we spent a good night despite the full on Italian pop music from the beach…&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-2671959027026336148?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/2671959027026336148/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=2671959027026336148' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/2671959027026336148'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/2671959027026336148'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2009/06/along-sardinian-coast.html' title='&lt;em&gt;Along the Sardinian coast&lt;/em&gt;'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SkPTJRZHRHI/AAAAAAAAAcI/OjZziM37TWE/s72-c/8.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-416349096646084782</id><published>2009-06-08T22:19:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2009-06-08T22:30:42.116+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Le long de la côte sarde...</title><content type='html'>Nous passons deux nuits à Porto Conte à récupérer de notre traversée à deux à l’heure. Le 5 juin à 9h30 départ pour Stintino, petit village autrefois riche de sa pêche au thon, à 25 milles au nord est. Nous longeons les falaises du cap Caccia au moteur, puis nous nous trainons à la voile le long de la côte assez déserte une bonne partie de la journée. A partir de 15h, le vent se décide à monter nous permettant d’avancer à 5 nœuds ; le temps se couvre peu à peu.&lt;br /&gt; Au loin, on voit les trois bateaux devant nous remballer leurs voiles pour s’engager dans le passage Fornelli, étroit passage de quelques dizaines de mètres de large et 3m de fond. Ce raccourci permet d’éviter de faire tout le tour de l’île d’Asinara (20M) et vous fait passer entre les cailloux en suivant des alignements.  On fait pareil en constatant que ca souffle beaucoup plus fort dans ce goulet.  Il y a quelque chose de bizarre, ils prennent tous très nord par rapport à l’alignement. Ludo a préparé la nav et la route GPS nous indiquent de ne pas les suivre mais je ne suis pas tranquille. Une vérification un peu en panique sur l’ordi nous permettra de passer sans encombre. Par contre à la sortie on a le vent encore plus fort qui nous arrive dans le pif. Les nuages s’amoncellent derrière nous et on s’attend à ce que ca pète en orage à tout moment. On change de voile d’avant et on prend un ris dans la grand voile ; on n’atteindra Stintino (à seulement 2,5M du passage) que vers 21h.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Si1yvA33dCI/AAAAAAAAAa4/XXzgTSxMEE0/s1600-h/1.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Si1yvA33dCI/AAAAAAAAAa4/XXzgTSxMEE0/s200/1.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345054484772385826" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;De nouveaux pontons ont été construits dans l’avant-port  mais il est toujours possible de mouiller. Pas de bol, le port est ouvert au Sud et le vent continuera à barder Sud assez fort toute la nuit et encore plus le lendemain toute la journée, levant un bon clapot qui vous assure une bonne douche à chaque débarquement en annexe. Il n’y a rien à faire à Stintino, sinon attendre que ca passe et discuter avec nos voisins de mouillage Barbara et Julian sur Brinestar, déjà croisés à Mahon. Ils viennent de scotcher pas mal de temps à Andraixt sur Majorque où ils avaient trouvé du boulot mais sont maintenant très enthousiastes à l’idée de naviguer à nouveau et d’aller en Grèce. Notre Navtex  reçoit mal, c’est embêtant surtout quand il n’y a pas d’accès internet à proximité mais il nous reste toujours la BLU et la douce voix électronique de la météo italienne sur le canal 68…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Si1zEdGqCMI/AAAAAAAAAbA/Gy0D6yN-1j0/s1600-h/2.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Si1zEdGqCMI/AAAAAAAAAbA/Gy0D6yN-1j0/s200/2.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345054853127866562" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Le 07 juin, 9h15 nous décollons bientôt suivi par Brinestar, direction Castelsardo à 21M plus au nord. Devant Porto Torres, il y a pas mal de trafic et nous croisons de près la route d’un cargo et de deux ferrys.  Le port de Castelsardo n’est pas trop cher (15 Euros). Nous allons nous dégourdir les jambes sur les pentes de la vieille ville et en profiterons pour nous enfiler nos premières pizzas et glaces italiennes. Les corvées sont expédiées, lessive « a la mano », plein d’eau et de bouffe. &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Si1zYKZVKmI/AAAAAAAAAbI/dF92nJJo0iE/s1600-h/3.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Si1zYKZVKmI/AAAAAAAAAbI/dF92nJJo0iE/s200/3.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345055191703300706" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Le lendemain, la pétole menace ; malgré tout nous mettons courageusement le cap en fin de matinée sur l’Isola Rossa, un mouillage de beau temps juste devant une petite marina. Il  nous faudra  trois bonnes heures pour venir à bout d’une dizaine de milles le tout au près.  Rien d’extraordinaire, c’est une petite station balnéaire un peu ring’ avec pop italienne à plein volume, pédalos, transats et parasols  du même tissu orange et jaune que les rideaux de caravanes de notre enfance.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-416349096646084782?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/416349096646084782/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=416349096646084782' title='2 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/416349096646084782'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/416349096646084782'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2009/06/le-long-de-la-cote-sarde_08.html' title='Le long de la côte sarde...'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Si1yvA33dCI/AAAAAAAAAa4/XXzgTSxMEE0/s72-c/1.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-7764823882256791772</id><published>2009-06-08T17:05:00.006+02:00</published><updated>2009-06-08T17:13:17.616+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Des Baléares à la Sardaigne</title><content type='html'>Nous passons encore quelques jours à Mahon et continuons nos visites culturelles, Liz étant au courant du moindre évènement ou visite de musée gratos à portée d’annexe ! Nous rencontrons Bert et Annette sur Adventyr (aperçu en Galice l’été dernier), ce sont des potes de Vida Vagabond et ils ne tarissent pas d’éloges sur  Madère et les Canaries où ils ont passé l’hiver. Le 31 mai, après de longs palabres avec nos voisins de mouillage et avoir passé en revue les Navtex, Grib et autres RTTY, on décide d’enfin se bouger de là ! On dit au revoir à Liz et Tom avec qui on aurait bien fait un bout de chemin car ils sont super cools mais voilà nous allons dans des directions opposées, mais on se reverra peut être…&lt;br /&gt;10h du mat le 1er juin, finalement nous levons l’ancre (bien enfoncée par deux coups de vent) et quittons Mahon, les Baléares et l’Espagne où sommes restés près de 9 mois. Cap sur la Sardaigne, 190M à l’Est.&lt;br /&gt;Nous savons d’avance que ca ne va pas dépoter, le vent aura une composante Ouest même s’il varie mais il est annoncé faible pour les 2-3 prochains jours, force 2-3 maxi. Les premières 24h sont honorables puisque nous couvrons 90M malgré un intermède de pétole de 4h et grâce à un bon passage à force 4 entre 2 et 6h du matin. Dans le sillage du bateau, on voit plein de Pelagia Noctiluca des méduses roses le jour, phosphorescentes la nuit. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Si0p_bM3DiI/AAAAAAAAAaY/pghkeYpBp-I/s1600-h/travers%C3%A9e.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Si0p_bM3DiI/AAAAAAAAAaY/pghkeYpBp-I/s320/travers%C3%A9e.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344974502368841250" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Au petit jour, Ludo me réveille en sursaut après avoir lui-même avoir sursauté quand une (ou deux difficile à dire) baleine a fait surface juste à côté du bateau. La mer est plus agitée et on a du mal à la distinguer mais on voit son jet et Ludo en voit nettement une plonger. Ce deuxième jour est plus pénible le vent est variable à peine de force 2, pourtant la mer reste un peu agitée et on prend la houle de côté ce qui fait rouler le bateau qui n’a pas de vitesse. Inévitablement, j’envoie par-dessus bord le contenu de mon estomac pendant mon quart de nuit. Juste avant la tombée de la nuit nous rencontrons notre premier dauphin de Risso, ou plutôt c’est lui qui vient à notre rencontre. On l’intrigue apparemment, il va rester plusieurs heures à jouer avec l’étrave du bateau et à nous observer du coin de l’œil. Parfois il va faire un tour puis revient et pour nous le faire savoir, il s’approche du bateau et claque sa queue fortement contre l’eau. Les dauphins de Risso ont une tête carrée différente du flipper qu’on connait tous.  Il a un grand aileron dorsal et il est assez imposant de 3 à 4m et est tout balafré, résultat de combats avec ses congénères et avec les calmars. En ce deuxième jour de traversée, on ne fera que 55M sur 24h !&lt;br /&gt;Le troisième jour, soyons honnêtes, on en a marre et on voudrait bien arriver ! &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Si0pku2RU0I/AAAAAAAAAaQ/71h97Xjch6A/s1600-h/Porto+Conte+(11).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Si0pku2RU0I/AAAAAAAAAaQ/71h97Xjch6A/s200/Porto+Conte+(11).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344974043786335042" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il reste une cinquantaine de milles à parcourir, il n’y a pas de vent et la perspective de refaire une nuit en nav dans la pétole ne nous enchante pas,  on s’entête encore un peu et puis on craque … moteur&lt;br /&gt;Vers 23h le 3 juin, après 30M au moteur nous atteignons Porto Conte au Nord Est de la Sardaigne; mouillage bien protégé dans une grande baie gardée par les impressionnantes falaises à pic de 180m de haut du Cap Caccia.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-7764823882256791772?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/7764823882256791772/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=7764823882256791772' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/7764823882256791772'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/7764823882256791772'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2009/06/des-baleares-la-sardaigne.html' title='Des Baléares à la Sardaigne'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Si0p_bM3DiI/AAAAAAAAAaY/pghkeYpBp-I/s72-c/travers%C3%A9e.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-7184498667724949600</id><published>2009-06-08T17:03:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2009-06-08T17:04:42.832+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Minorque / Menorca</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Si0oZd9ZcJI/AAAAAAAAAaA/CP7NACDfYDs/s1600-h/minork.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 257px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Si0oZd9ZcJI/AAAAAAAAAaA/CP7NACDfYDs/s400/minork.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344972750762635410" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-7184498667724949600?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/7184498667724949600/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=7184498667724949600' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/7184498667724949600'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/7184498667724949600'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2009/06/minorque-menorca.html' title='Minorque / Menorca'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Si0oZd9ZcJI/AAAAAAAAAaA/CP7NACDfYDs/s72-c/minork.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-5296242772642232833</id><published>2009-06-08T17:00:00.006+02:00</published><updated>2009-06-08T19:32:31.462+02:00</updated><title type='text'>From the Balearics to Sardinia</title><content type='html'>&lt;em&gt;We spent some more days in Mahon and did more cultural visits. Indeed, Liz knows about each and every free events or museums we can reach by dinghy! We meet Bert and Annette on Adventyr (we saw them also in Galicia last summer), they are friends of Vida Vagabond. They are unstoppable at telling us about the great time they had on Madeira and on the Canarias where they spent the winter. On May 31, after endless discussions with our neighbors and comparisons of all navtex, grib and RTTY available we decide to get out of here. We kiss Liz and Tom good bye, we would have enjoyed travelling a little bit with them as they are super cool but we are heading in different directions, maybe we will see them again one day.&lt;br /&gt;10am on June 1rst we finally pick up the anchor (buried after two gales) and leave Mahon, the Balearics and Spain where we have spent almost 9 months.  We set course to Sardinia, 190NM toward East.&lt;br /&gt;We know that the wind won’t be strong (max 2-3 Beaufort), it will variable but always with some West in it. The first 24hours are ok, we cover 90NM despite a flat calm for 4 hours and thanks to a good force 4 between 2 and 6am. In the wake of Atajata we see a lot of Pelagia Noctiluca, jellyfishes pink at day and fluo at night. &lt;br /&gt;At dawn, Ludo wakes me up after he jumped himself when a whale surfaced just near the boat (maybe two whales, hard to say). The sea is more agitated and it’s not easy to spot them but we can clearly see water spurts and Ludo sees one whale plunging. This second day is painful, the wind is variable force 2 but the sea remains agitated and we have the swell from the side which makes the boat rolling. Inevitably I throw over board the content of my stomach during my night watch. Just before dark we meet our first Risso’s dolphin. He is rather curious and stays several hours playing with the boat and observing us. Sometime he swims away then comes back and to let us know he come close to the boat and whips the water with his tail. Risso’s dolphin are different from the usual dolphins we all know, they have a square head, a big dorsal fin, are 3 to 4m long and full of scars from fights with other dolphins and squids. During the second day we score only 55NM!&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Si0n4l9uBKI/AAAAAAAAAZ4/PdlFIk5dRtA/s1600-h/Porto+Conte+(5).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Si0n4l9uBKI/AAAAAAAAAZ4/PdlFIk5dRtA/s320/Porto+Conte+(5).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344972185975784610" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the third day, let’s be honest, we are fed up and we really want to arrive! 50NM left, no wind and we are not looking forward another night stuck at sea. Stubbornly we try to take advantage of the lightest breath but finally we give up and start to motor.&lt;br /&gt;Around 11pm, on June 3rd, after motoring for 30NM, we reach Porto Conte, North East of Sardinia. It’s a well sheltered anchorage in a large bay, guarded by impressive abrupt 180m high cliffs of Cape Caccia.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-5296242772642232833?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/5296242772642232833/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=5296242772642232833' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/5296242772642232833'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/5296242772642232833'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2009/06/we-spent-some-more-days-in-mahon-and.html' title='From the Balearics to Sardinia'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Si0n4l9uBKI/AAAAAAAAAZ4/PdlFIk5dRtA/s72-c/Porto+Conte+(5).JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-7676648398586927748</id><published>2009-05-29T11:18:00.005+02:00</published><updated>2009-05-29T11:51:28.310+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Mahon</title><content type='html'>Le coup de vent de Nord Ouest est passé, il est temps de bouger mais le vent n’est pas très coopératif. Nous faisons une première tentative mais on l’a parfaitement dans le nez et on fait des bords presque carrés, après quelques milles péniblement gagnés, nous abandonnons et revenons à notre bouée à Fornells ; au moins on aura pris l’air. &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sh-pAq_9MEI/AAAAAAAAAZY/SGYvmdcMLxA/s1600-h/S%27Arenal+d%27es+Moro+(2).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sh-pAq_9MEI/AAAAAAAAAZY/SGYvmdcMLxA/s200/S%27Arenal+d%27es+Moro+(2).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341173512092332098" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Le 18 mai, nous partons avec un vent léger, au près bien sûr. On se traîne pendant 13M et on s’arrête  à l’abri de l’Isla Colom dans la toute petite crique Arsenal d’es Moro, pas loin de Grao. Cette île n’est pas du tout construite et remplie de goélands veillant sur leurs petits et qui s’affolent au moindre de nos mouvements. &lt;br /&gt;Le lendemain nous partons plein d’enthousiasme pour Mahon la capitale mais on finira par faire les 11M qui nous en séparent au moteur car c’est pétole totale. &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sh-pr0XdH1I/AAAAAAAAAZg/MtM_LjCjmFE/s1600-h/S%27Arenal+d%27es+Moro+(20).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sh-pr0XdH1I/AAAAAAAAAZg/MtM_LjCjmFE/s200/S%27Arenal+d%27es+Moro+(20).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341174253341187922" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Par contre ce temps calme nous permet de voir notre première tortue (peut être une tortue caouanne mais on n’est pas des experts), elle reste en surface au lieu de plonger pour nous fuir : soit elle n’est pas super en forme, soit elle n’a pas peur du tout de nous. Notre première nuit à Mahon se fera au ponton Sunseeker (le moins cher mais quand même 29,7 Euros, eau et électricité à volonté) : douches, grand lavage du bateau, remplissage des réservoirs et de tous les récipients, seaux et bassines du bord ; courses et lessive. &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sh-rn1l1a1I/AAAAAAAAAZo/oeb3_V4sczM/s1600-h/Cala+Taulera+Mahon+(2).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sh-rn1l1a1I/AAAAAAAAAZo/oeb3_V4sczM/s200/Cala+Taulera+Mahon+(2).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341176383973714770" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Le lendemain après un plein de gasoil (17l quand même!) nous rejoignons la Cala Taulera, mouillage protégé et très fréquenté car encore gratuit dans la Baie de Mahon, au pied de la forteresse de La Mola.&lt;br /&gt; Nous rencontrons un couple de canadiens de Vancouver, Tom et Liz sur leur Spencer 51pieds « Feel free » ; ils vivent et voyagent en bateau depuis 30ans : Hawaï, Californie, Mexique, Iles du Pacifique, Australie, NZ, Japon, Chine, Indonésie, Malaisie, Thaïlande, Andamans… j’en passe (www.boatus.com ). Ils ont remonté la Mer Rouge et emprunté le Canal de Suez il y a deux ans et depuis ont passé un hiver en Turquie et un à Malte et sont en route pour les Canaries, le Cap Vert et les Caraïbes. Ils ont des tas d’histoires à raconter ;  inévitablement nous échangeons bouquins et films. Avec eux on va faire une petite visite culturelle au musée de Mahon et sur le site préhistorique Talayot de Tebuco. &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sh-sZ7TYI_I/AAAAAAAAAZw/RmvW6OFOv3k/s1600-h/IMG_5865.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sh-sZ7TYI_I/AAAAAAAAAZw/RmvW6OFOv3k/s200/IMG_5865.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341177244500370418" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Le lieu de culte du site, la Taula ressemble un peu à un dolmen sur une seule patte. Tom et Liz comme nous adorent récupéré des trucs recrachés par la mer, ils ont trouvé une échelle de bain sous l’eau devant leur bateau, ils nous l’offrent. Ca tombe bien on en avait pas; après que Ludo lui ait donné un coup de brosse elle est nickelle. Vivement que l’eau soit chaude qu’on l’essaye ! Toujours pas de fenêtre météo idéale pour la Sardaigne mais plutôt un bon coup de Mistral et Tramontane depuis 2 jours.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-7676648398586927748?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/7676648398586927748/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=7676648398586927748' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/7676648398586927748'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/7676648398586927748'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2009/05/mahon_29.html' title='Mahon'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sh-pAq_9MEI/AAAAAAAAAZY/SGYvmdcMLxA/s72-c/S%27Arenal+d%27es+Moro+(2).JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-2654336447251048886</id><published>2009-05-29T11:04:00.008+02:00</published><updated>2009-05-29T11:51:54.492+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Mahon</title><content type='html'>&lt;em&gt;The North West wind gale is over, time to move on but the wind doesn’t feel like helping us. We give it a try, but we have the wind perfectly on the nose. After a few miles painfully gained, we give up and sail back to our mooring in Fornells. At least we got some fresh air. On May 18, we leave again with a light wind, against us again. We sail slowly for 13NM until we reach Isla Colom. &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sh-l5Ppq6bI/AAAAAAAAAY4/QLB1eABS6qk/s1600-h/S%27Arenal+d%27es+Moro+(2).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sh-l5Ppq6bI/AAAAAAAAAY4/QLB1eABS6qk/s200/S%27Arenal+d%27es+Moro+(2).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341170085957134770" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;We drop the hook in the well sheltered small cala “Arsenal d’es Moro”, near Grao. The island is unspoilt, not built up and host  of thousands of seagulls, busy taking care of their babies and panicking at every move we make.&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sh-mgpxttWI/AAAAAAAAAZA/qu3qdKO1578/s1600-h/S%27Arenal+d%27es+Moro+(21).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sh-mgpxttWI/AAAAAAAAAZA/qu3qdKO1578/s200/S%27Arenal+d%27es+Moro+(21).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341170762985092450" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the next day we take off for the capital city, Mahon. We ended up motoring all the way, on the 11M, because it’s flat calm. But it allows us to see our first turtle (maybe a loggerhead turtle, but we’re not experts). It stays at the surface instead of plunging and fleeing us; either it’s not in a very good shape or it’s not afraid of us at all. We spend our first night in Mahon at the Sunseeker pontoon (the best bargain but still 29,7Euros per night water and electricity included): showers, deep cleaning of the boat, filling up all the tanks (and other containers such as solar showers, bucket and bowl), provisioning and laundry. The next after filling the gasoil tank (17 liters!) we go to Cala Taulera, a sheltered and busy anchorage still free in the Bay of Mahon , at the foot of La Mola fortress. &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sh-nj3JeZ7I/AAAAAAAAAZQ/RQnN3HwMnHA/s1600-h/Cala+Taulera+Mahon+(17).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sh-nj3JeZ7I/AAAAAAAAAZQ/RQnN3HwMnHA/s200/Cala+Taulera+Mahon+(17).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341171917625649074" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We meet a Canadian couple from Vancouver, Tom and Liz on their 51 foot Spencer “Feel Free”. They have been leaving and travelling on boats for 30 years : Hawai, California, mexico, Pacific Islands, Australia, NZ, Japan, China, Indonesia, Malaisia, Thailand, the Andamans… and I’m miss a lot more (www.boatus.com ).  They have sailed up the Red Sea and through the Suez Canal about two years ago and spent two winters in the Med, one in Turkey, one in Malta. They are on their way to the Canaries, Cape Verde and the Caribbean. They have tons of great stories to tell. We also exchange books and movies. &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sh-nHLaqhyI/AAAAAAAAAZI/JRcrBtziQmA/s1600-h/IMG_5862.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sh-nHLaqhyI/AAAAAAAAAZI/JRcrBtziQmA/s200/IMG_5862.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341171424850249506" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Together with them we go ashore for a cultural day, first to the museum then to  the prehistoric Talayot site of Teluco. In this settlement the Taula enclosure was the religious place. It looks like a Breton dolmen on a single leg…Tom and Liz like to collect things washed off by the sea on the beach as much as we do. They found a short ladder on the sea bed near their boat and offered it to us. After Ludo cleaned it, it looks almost brand new. We didn’t have any for the boat so we are looking forward to testing it when the water will be warmer. Still no ideal weather window for Sardinia instead we’ve been enduring another Mistral and Tramontana blow for the last two days. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-2654336447251048886?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/2654336447251048886/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=2654336447251048886' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/2654336447251048886'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/2654336447251048886'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2009/05/mahon.html' title='Mahon'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sh-l5Ppq6bI/AAAAAAAAAY4/QLB1eABS6qk/s72-c/S%27Arenal+d%27es+Moro+(2).JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-5748660350072564098</id><published>2009-05-15T14:34:00.006+02:00</published><updated>2009-05-16T21:12:54.360+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Cala de Algayerens - Fornells</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sg1iLYOlefI/AAAAAAAAAYY/2N5FqvyHqa8/s1600-h/Cala+de+Algayerens+(18).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sg1iLYOlefI/AAAAAAAAAYY/2N5FqvyHqa8/s320/Cala+de+Algayerens+(18).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336029081125616114" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Après deux nuits à Ciudadela, nous quittons la Cala Degollador et mettons le cap sur Fornells, bientôt suivis par nos voisins de mouillage sur « Gran Slam », un voilier Rô (si, si, et même un jour on vous parlera des catamarans Prout) de construction espagnole. Ca souffle pas mal, comme annoncé, la mer moutonne, un bon 6 de Sud Est. On a pris un ris dans la grand voile et changé le génois pour le yankee mais c’est encore beaucoup de toile dans les rafales. Passé le Cap Binicous à l’ouest de Ciudadela, la mer devient toute plate et du coup on file à 6,5noeuds. La côte défile rapidement, si ça pouvait toujours être comme ça …Gran Slam nous rattrape et s’amuse à nous prendre en photo tellement on gîte avec tout notre foc alors qu’eux ont deux ris dans la grand voile et un mouchoir de poche à l’avant.&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sg1inQjUNCI/AAAAAAAAAYg/KqeTb3pgo1M/s1600-h/Cala+de+Algayerens+(10).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sg1inQjUNCI/AAAAAAAAAYg/KqeTb3pgo1M/s200/Cala+de+Algayerens+(10).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336029560101418018" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; On les voit rentrer dans une Cala à mi-chemin de Fornells, un coup d’œil dans le  guide Imray : Cala de Algayerens, ça a l’air pas mal, du coup on y va aussi, avec entrée à la voile au près évidemment! En effet, ça aurait été dommage de ne pas s’y arrêter, aucune construction, deux jolies petites plages entourées de falaises rouges (Punta Rotja la bien nommée) et derrière les dunes, une rivière et un « lagon » en fait une grande mare avec oiseaux, roseaux et libellules. Intermède bucolique. Nous avions placé quelques espoirs dans une source indiquée sur la carte mais elle est tarie ou c’est pas ce qu’on a trouvé, donc toujours économies d’eau obligées. Le soir apéro sur Gran Slam avec Andy, sa femme, Martin un de leur pote écossais hilarant ; Ollie et Allan US/Kiwi sur Summer Wind (super beau bateau de 13,5m qui nous fait tripé depuis qu’on l’a croisé à Espalmador et à Cala Llonga, ce sont des potes de Vida Vagabond rencontré l’année dernière à Camarinas, vous suivez ?) et Trevor et Lesley, un couple d’anglais adorable qu’on retrouvera à l’étape suivante. Echanges de mésaventures, blagues et d’expériences maritimes et alcoolisées. &lt;br /&gt;Le lendemain cap sur Fornells, cette fois avec un ris dans la grand voile et un dans le foc mais pas de bol après un bon départ le vent se casse la gueule complètement à 5M de l’arrivée, floc, floc ; moteur ; floc, floc puis il revient et on finit au près. C’est marrant depuis qu’on est à Minorque le temps n’est pas top et les nav se ressemblent : branlée, pétole, dans le nez…&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sg1jGhqEzpI/AAAAAAAAAYo/HV4cX_phPaA/s1600-h/Fornells+(6).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sg1jGhqEzpI/AAAAAAAAAYo/HV4cX_phPaA/s200/Fornells+(6).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336030097269116562" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Nous voici à Fornells, grande baie protégée au nord est de l’île, pas encore ravagée par les promoteurs, c’est encore très nature et boisé. Corps mort gratos, cool. Nous échangeons des bouquins avec Lesley et Trevor. A bord de leur Westerly « Kishorn » s’organise un diner auberge espagnole avec makis, chili et salade de raviolis. Ollie et Allan ont bossé sur des bateaux de luxe et nous raconte des histoires de RPP (Rich People Problems) ; les millionnaires sont vraiment à plaindre ! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sg1jollldWI/AAAAAAAAAYw/RFKfDfiqoYo/s1600-h/Fornells+(8).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sg1jollldWI/AAAAAAAAAYw/RFKfDfiqoYo/s200/Fornells+(8).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336030682439578978" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Le Lendemain tout le monde ou presque s’en va pour Mahon, capitale et plus grand port de l’île, en effet un coup de vent force 7-8 de N-NO est annoncé mais il en faudrait plus pour qu’on abandonne un mouillage gratos avec wifi pour un port payant…Le coup de vent devrait durer une douzaine d’heures, on triple les amarres pour dormir tranquille et on attend que ça se passe.

It’s blowing hard, as forecasted, the sea is choppy with a good force 6 SE. We took a reef in the main sail and change the genoa for the yankee but it’s still too much in the gusts. After passed the Binicous Cape, west of Ciudadela, the sea becomes flat and so we are speeding at 6.5knots. The coast passes by quickly, we wish it would be always that easy…&lt;br /&gt;Gran Slam catches up and has fun taking pictures of us, we are so heeled with our full gib when they have two reefs in the main sail and a handkerchief at the front. We see them heading into a cala mid-way from Fornells, we check the Imray guide book : it’s the Cala de Algayerens, looks interesting.&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sg1gUNLlEsI/AAAAAAAAAYI/jv1x38QOMXM/s1600-h/Cala+de+Algayerens+(12).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sg1gUNLlEsI/AAAAAAAAAYI/jv1x38QOMXM/s320/Cala+de+Algayerens+(12).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336027033755783874" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; We make up our mind and go for it, we enter with the sails on and close to the wind, of course. Indeed it would have been a shame to miss it: no buildings, two nice little beaches enclosed in reddish cliffs (the well named Punta Rotja) and behind the dunes a river and a lagoon (in reality a big pond with birds, reeds and dragonflies). We placed some hopes in a spring marked on our map but it has either dried out or it’s not what we found. So we keep on saving water.&lt;br /&gt;In the evening, gathering on Gran Slam for a drink with Andy and his wife (hosting) and their hilarious Scottish friend Martin; Ollie and Allan (US/Kiwi) travelling on Summer Wind (a gorgeous 13,5m boat we are kind of dreaming of since we saw her in Espalmador and Cala Llonga; they are friends of Vida Vagabond crew we met last year in Camarinas, are you following?) and Trevor and Lesley a lovely and funny couple we’ll see again in the next cala. We exchange experiences; jokes; embarrassing, alcoholic and funny stories about life at sea. &lt;br /&gt;The next day we take off for Fornells, this time with a reef in the main sail and in the yankee but it’s bad luck, after a fair start, the wind drops and we are stuck 5M before arrival. Motor a little bit then the wind suddenly comes back and we finish by tacking into the bay. The funny thing is that since we are in Menorca, the weather hasn’t be that nice and sailing is always : gusty then flat calm then on the nose…Here we are in Fornells, a large bay, quite sheltered in the north east of the island, still unspoiled by touristic development, hilly and wooded. &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sg1hL1ikIyI/AAAAAAAAAYQ/yXNTNfI-NSQ/s1600-h/Fornells+(12).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sg1hL1ikIyI/AAAAAAAAAYQ/yXNTNfI-NSQ/s200/Fornells+(12).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336027989482414882" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The mooring near the”town” is free, cool. We trade books with Lesley and Trevor. A dinner is organized onboard Kishorn, Makis, Chilli (sin carne) and raviolis salad, we didn’t starve for sure. Ollie and Allan have been working on luxurious boats and share with us some stories about RPP (rich people problems), how hard to be a millionaire ! &lt;br /&gt;The next day almost everybody leaves for Mahon, capital city and largest port of the island. A N-NW gale is coming but it’s not enough for us to give up a free mooring with wifi! Bad weather should last 12hours, we triple the rope to the buoy to sleep confident. When will we have a good weather window to cross to Sardinia ?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-1258650734188540403?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/1258650734188540403/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=1258650734188540403' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/1258650734188540403'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/1258650734188540403'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2009/05/cala-de-algayerens-fornells-bay.html' title='Cala de Algayerens - Fornells Bay'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sg1gUNLlEsI/AAAAAAAAAYI/jv1x38QOMXM/s72-c/Cala+de+Algayerens+(12).JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-9180134403063922273</id><published>2009-05-10T17:38:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2009-05-10T17:43:13.473+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Minorque</title><content type='html'>Le 6 mai nous quittons Porto Colom après avoir fait le plein de bouffe, de gasoil mais toujours pas d’eau car celle du port n’est pas potable. Nous rationnons…heureusement une eau de mer aussi claire nous permet de faire la vaisselle sans problème, on s’habitue au petit gout salé de la première gorgée du café du matin.  Nous allons à nouveau à la Cala Arsenau pour passer la nuit mais c’est au près et dans la pétole, on finit par abdiquer et faire ces 4 pauvres milles au moteur.  Le lendemain départ à 10h30 pour le nord-est de l’île, le vent est nickel S-SE force 3-4, belle nav sous le soleil [18,5M].&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sgb1e-m2FGI/AAAAAAAAAX4/YEzyg4E1gRM/s1600-h/IMG_5721.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sgb1e-m2FGI/AAAAAAAAAX4/YEzyg4E1gRM/s320/IMG_5721.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334220721217737826" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Nous jetons l’ancre dans la Cala Molto vers 14h30 à côté d’une famille suédoise sur un petit bateau bien bas sur l’eau. &lt;br /&gt;A peine le petit déj avalé, le lendemain nous partons pour Minorque. Le vent est correct au début et nous permet de bien avancé mais les 10 derniers milles sont pénibles car on doit serrer le vent et la mer devient désordonnée surtout près de la côte où les falaises renvoient la houle. Sur cette partie de la côte il n’y a pas beaucoup de calas protégées du SE et celle que nous visions (Macarella) est agitée. Nous nous décidons pour la Cala Santa Galdana à 1M plus à l’est, un peu mieux protégée mais défigurée par les barres d’immeubles à touristes et avec des bouées délimitant la zone de baignade qui nous repoussent presque à l’extérieur. Nous jetons l’ancre en fin de journée après avoir parcouru 27,8M. &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sgb14E-J5sI/AAAAAAAAAYA/ruZvQIDtsh8/s1600-h/Ciutadella+(9).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sgb14E-J5sI/AAAAAAAAAYA/ruZvQIDtsh8/s200/Ciutadella+(9).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334221152422848194" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Petite nuit rouleuse, réveil grincheux. Par acquis de conscience nous repassons dans la jolie cala de Macarella le lendemain, mais c’est toujours aussi agité. Cap sur la baie de Ciutadella, l’ancienne capitale de l’île, où nous mouillons dans la cala de Degollador à peine à 500m du centre historique ; c’est une bonne alternative au port, gratis et protégée…et avec un nom pareil on ne pouvait pas ne pas y aller. &lt;br /&gt;Quasar (Fabien et Marjo) et Feng-shui (Al et Sonja) sont bien arrivés en Sardaigne, ça va être dur de les recroiser maintenant mais qui sait.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-9180134403063922273?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/9180134403063922273/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=9180134403063922273' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/9180134403063922273'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/9180134403063922273'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2009/05/minorque.html' title='Minorque'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sgb1e-m2FGI/AAAAAAAAAX4/YEzyg4E1gRM/s72-c/IMG_5721.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-7823408056874579656</id><published>2009-05-10T17:37:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-05-10T17:38:08.215+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Majorque - Mallorca</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sgb008UD-QI/AAAAAAAAAXw/2vofveqBMX4/s1600-h/majork.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 260px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sgb008UD-QI/AAAAAAAAAXw/2vofveqBMX4/s400/majork.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334219999047579906" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-7823408056874579656?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/7823408056874579656/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=7823408056874579656' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/7823408056874579656'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/7823408056874579656'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2009/05/majorque-mallorca.html' title='Majorque - Mallorca'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sgb008UD-QI/AAAAAAAAAXw/2vofveqBMX4/s72-c/majork.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-3813096329269496495</id><published>2009-05-10T17:30:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2009-05-10T17:44:26.769+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Menorca</title><content type='html'>On May 6, we leave Porto Colom fully loaded with food and gasoil but still without water, as the one we could get from the harbor isn’t not potable.  We save water as much as possible until the next opportunity to refill our tanks. The sea water is so clear that we don’t mind washing the dishes with it and we got use to the salty taste of the first sip of our morning coffee.  We go back to Cala Arsenau to spend the night but the wind is weak and on the nose so we give up and cover these 4M with the motor. The next day, we take off at 10:30am for the north-east of the island, the wind is just right S-SE force 3-4. Nice sailing under the shinning sun [18,5NM]. We drop the anchor in Cala Molto at about half past two next to a Swedish family on a small boat very low on water.&lt;br /&gt;Right after breakfast, the next day we leave for Menorca. The wind is ok at first and we move on a honorable speed but the last 10NM are painful, we are very close to the wind and the sea becomes messy especially as we get closer to the coast and the cliffs are echoing the swell. On this stretch of coast there are not many sheltered calas from SE swell, the one (Macarella) we were aiming for is agitated. &lt;br /&gt;We end up in Cala Santa Galdana 1M further east, a little bit better sheltered but disfigured by high touristic buildings and buoyed off for swimmer so far from the beach we are almost excluded outside. &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sgbz53kZSJI/AAAAAAAAAXg/rLHtH7qS97c/s1600-h/Ciutadella+(7).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sgbz53kZSJI/AAAAAAAAAXg/rLHtH7qS97c/s320/Ciutadella+(7).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334218984161626258" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;We drop the anchor at the end of the day after 27,8NM covered. Sleepless rolly night, we get up in a bad mood. We give it another try and sail to Macarella again but it’s still as agitated as yesterday. We set our course for the bay of Ciutadella, the former capital city of the island.&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sgb0cAwLArI/AAAAAAAAAXo/xTtoTBbR550/s1600-h/Ciutadella+(2).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sgb0cAwLArI/AAAAAAAAAXo/xTtoTBbR550/s200/Ciutadella+(2).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334219570742493874" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;We anchor in the Cala Degollador, about 500m from the historic center, it’s a good alternative to the usually crowed marina, it’s free and well sheltered.&lt;br /&gt;Quasar (Fabien et Marjo) and Feng-shui (Al et Sonja) made it to Sardinia, it’s gonna be hard to meet them again now but who knows…&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-3813096329269496495?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/3813096329269496495/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=3813096329269496495' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/3813096329269496495'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/3813096329269496495'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2009/05/menorca.html' title='Menorca'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Sgbz53kZSJI/AAAAAAAAAXg/rLHtH7qS97c/s72-c/Ciutadella+(7).JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-3132634888333129887</id><published>2009-05-05T22:32:00.022+02:00</published><updated>2009-05-06T12:08:36.550+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Calas Mitjana-Arsenau- Magraner- Porto Colom</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SgCi_-iMItI/AAAAAAAAAWg/NAIh8IyCN4E/s1600-h/1.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SgCi_-iMItI/AAAAAAAAAWg/NAIh8IyCN4E/s320/1.JPG" border="0"alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332441178808525522" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Le 30 avril, nous quittons Porto Petro sans regret pour la Cala Mitjana à peine à 3 milles au nord. Et là nous découvrons la « cala enchantée ». Une toute petite cala très protégée, entourée de villas de luxe avec en son centre un bassin d’eau turquoise en plein milieu duquel nous mouillons. Les flancs sont paysagés par des jardiniers qui s’affairent autour de nous. Des fleurs qui dévalent les falaises, une pelouse taillée au millimètre digne d’un parcours de golf…et cerise sur le gâteau, le wifi qu’on reçoit même à l’intérieur du bateau ! Nous y passons quelques heures et puis on a trop l’impression de mouiller dans la piscine d’une résidence de star alors on fait moins d’un demi mille pour rejoindre la Cala voisine Arsenau. &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SgCjnbPFIkI/AAAAAAAAAWo/oLsS_cucVWs/s1600-h/2.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SgCjnbPFIkI/AAAAAAAAAWo/oLsS_cucVWs/s200/2.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332441856527901250" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Celle-ci est plus populaire et aussi très sympa, plage de sable, eau bleue, vous connaissez le topo. Cette partie de la côte est percée de nombreuses grottes creusées par la mer dont certaines  très spectaculaires au point qu’on a l’impression qu’on pourrait y entrer avec le bateau. &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SgCkQcTqSdI/AAAAAAAAAWw/2rmDl0g_V8U/s1600-h/3.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SgCkQcTqSdI/AAAAAAAAAWw/2rmDl0g_V8U/s200/3.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332442561190185426" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Après une petite nuit à cause du roulis et comme le temps se gâte, on retourne à Mitjana, quitte à être ballotés au moins on pourra surfer sur internet.  Nous célébrons donc le 1er mai en squattant la piscine des riches (pendant qu’eux travaillent !). Le lendemain nous allons nous taper 8M interminables à tirer des bords merdiques au près serré dans un bon force 6 pour aller à la Cala Magraner. &lt;br /&gt;Entourée de hautes falaises, cette cala est encore totalement épargnée par le développement touristique. Elle a comme seuls habitants permanents un troupeau de biquettes et une grosse colonie de goélands qui nichent en ce moment. Une bonne vingtaine de jeunes, pour la plupart des grimpeurs y établissent le camp pour le week end malgré le gros panneau d’interdiction. Du coup l’ambiance est cool et la première nuit on est les seuls au mouillage. Nous aussi on profite du site avec ses voies équipées de tous niveaux.  Le 5 mai retour à la dure réalité, nos réserves d’eau et de bouffe (surtout le frais) commencent à baisser : retour 4 milles en arrière à Porto Colom pour la récurrente corvée de courses…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SgCk2Wj2NFI/AAAAAAAAAW4/543Q6BuVdLE/s1600-h/4.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SgCk2Wj2NFI/AAAAAAAAAW4/543Q6BuVdLE/s320/4.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332443212482491474" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;On April 30th we leave Porto Petro without regrets for Cala Mitjana, only 3M up north. And when we arrive, we discover an “enchanted cala”. A rather small cala, very sheltered, encircled by luxurious villas with in the middle a turquoise pool, in the middle of which we drop the anchor. The sides are landscaped by gardeners busy around us. Flowers are getting down the cliffs; the grass got a perfect shave, good enough for a golf field… and cherry on the cake: wifi inside the cabin! We stay a couple of hours, then we get the impression we are mooring in the swimming pool of a star’s residency, so we sail about half a mile farther to reach the nearby cala Arsenau.&lt;br /&gt;This one is more for common people and also nice, sandy beach, blue water, you get it. This part of the coast line is pierced by caves carved by the sea; some of them are so spectacular we think the boat could fit in. After a not-so-good night and as the weather is getting gusty, we go back to Mitjana. If it has to be rolly, then at least let’s surf the web. We celebrate the Worker’s day by squatting rich people’s swimming pool (while they are at work!). .&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SgFeLvWtrrI/AAAAAAAAAXI/NleJvvHH3qY/s1600-h/5.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SgFeLvWtrrI/AAAAAAAAAXI/NleJvvHH3qY/s200/5.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332646989566684850" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The next day we will endure 8 endless miles tacking with a good force 6 wind on the nose to rally Cala MagranerEnclosed in high cliffs, this cala is completely preserved from touristic development. The only permanent inhabitants are a bunch of goats and sea gulls that are nesting at the moment. About twenty young people, most of them climbers, have settled a camp for the week end despite the big “camping forbidden” sign. &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SgFg1owikZI/AAAAAAAAAXY/xnNZDJPbR94/s1600-h/6.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SgFg1owikZI/AAAAAAAAAXY/xnNZDJPbR94/s200/6.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332649908373721490" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The atmosphere is laid-back and the first night we are the only one anchored there. We also enjoy this site equipped for every levels of climbing skills. On May 5, back to reality, our food (especially fresh veggies) and water reserves are getting low and we have to sail 4M down to Porto Colom for the always boring food shopping.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-3132634888333129887?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/3132634888333129887/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=3132634888333129887' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/3132634888333129887'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/3132634888333129887'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2009/05/cala-mitjana-arsenau-magraner-porto.html' title='Calas Mitjana-Arsenau- Magraner- Porto Colom'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SgCi_-iMItI/AAAAAAAAAWg/NAIh8IyCN4E/s72-c/1.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-8388879910278462332</id><published>2009-04-30T14:15:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2009-04-30T14:16:51.703+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Aujourd'hui c'est piscine !</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SfmWmCnUH-I/AAAAAAAAAWY/wzxORf79DP8/s1600-h/Cala+Mitjana+(6).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SfmWmCnUH-I/AAAAAAAAAWY/wzxORf79DP8/s400/Cala+Mitjana+(6).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330457214250655714" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-8388879910278462332?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/8388879910278462332/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=8388879910278462332' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/8388879910278462332'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/8388879910278462332'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2009/04/aujourdhui-cest-piscine.html' title='Aujourd&apos;hui c&apos;est piscine !'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SfmWmCnUH-I/AAAAAAAAAWY/wzxORf79DP8/s72-c/Cala+Mitjana+(6).JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-5807993713463558297</id><published>2009-04-29T19:21:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2009-04-30T13:15:01.482+02:00</updated><title type='text'>La rapita- Cabrera - Puerto Petro</title><content type='html'>Nous passons deux nuits à San Jordi et finissons par obtenir notre permis pour Cabrera, seulement 1 journée :-( et en plus ce jour là, le 26 il va pleuvoir et le vent est prévu assez fort et pile dans le nez pour aller là-bas. Ne pouvant pas rester là où nous sommes mouillés avec cette météo , nous partons pour le Port de la Rapita où nous nous posons deux jours, histoire de faire une vidange, un peu d’avitaillement et de laisser passer ce petit coup de vent et surtout les grosses vagues. Nous faisons la connaissance d’un couple d’anglais sympa, Al et Sonia qui croyez le ou pas, bougent sur un plus petit bateau que nous ! Ils sont partis mi-mars de Lagos au Portugal et se baladeront jusqu’en Sicile pour rentrer en Août en Ecosse. Je passe un coup de fil aux rangers du Parc de Cabrera pour savoir si on peut décaler notre arrivée et à entendre les blagues du gars que j’ai en ligne ça a l’air détendu. Sonia m’avait déjà dit qu’il y avait à peine 6 bateaux pour une capacité de 50, donc on peut y aller sans craindre de se faire jeter (même sans permis). &lt;br /&gt;Nous quittons La Rapita le  27 vers 10h le vent est tombé mais la houle reste encore chiante. On va même devoir faire une bonne heure de moteur pour ne pas rester à se faire balloter. Finalement le vent se lève en début d’après m et on arrive avec lui et le ciel bleu à l’île de Cabrera vers 16h. &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SfmHxbOVJ3I/AAAAAAAAAWI/xdc5ibxQFrg/s1600-h/cabrera+(63).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SfmHxbOVJ3I/AAAAAAAAAWI/xdc5ibxQFrg/s320/cabrera+(63).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330440917160896370" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cette île est un parc naturel, autrefois propriété d’un particulier chanceux, elle est maintenant le terrain de jeu d’une garnison de militaires et de biologistes. Elle est découpée en plusieurs zones maritimes où on peut tantôt juste passer, mouiller à la journée, voire carrément ne pas accéder. Tout y est réglementé mais c’est sans doute le prix à payer pour garder intacte une si belle île qui, au vu de la côte espagnole, l’a quand même échappée belle ! Dans « le port », en fait une baie protégée, interdit de jeter l’ancre, on se met à la bouée, heureusement gratuite. Dés notre arrivée on débarque (sur le jetty principal c’est la seule zone de débarquement autorisée) et on part à l’assaut du fort d’où on a un super panorama sur toute la baie. Pour la balade là encore c’est restreint : on peut aller au château, au musée (fermé), à la plage de s’Espalmador , en gros on peut faire un demi tour de la baie et monter au phare d’Anciola. &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SfmIHst5DII/AAAAAAAAAWQ/T7w5Y7IQmlQ/s1600-h/cabrera+(60).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SfmIHst5DII/AAAAAAAAAWQ/T7w5Y7IQmlQ/s320/cabrera+(60).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330441299813796994" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;L’île est parsemée de panneaux barrant l’accès aux autres chemins…dommage. Malgré notre permis pour un seul jour et de toute manière périmé, on passera deux nuits ultra paisibles à Cabrera. &lt;br /&gt;Le 29 nous décollons vers 10h pour Puerto Petro sur la côte est en passant derrière les îles Conejera (« lapin » en espagnol, merde j’ l’ai dit !), Plana, Pobre et Horadada. Le vent au début plutôt sympathique de N-O force 3 va devenir de la pétole de n’importe quoi une fois passée la Punta Salinas pour ensuite s’orienter N-E. Nous choisissons la Cala d’Es Homos Morts pour jeter l’ancre, le retour au béton c’est dur.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-5807993713463558297?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/5807993713463558297/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=5807993713463558297' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/5807993713463558297'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/5807993713463558297'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2009/04/la-rapita-cabrera-puerto-petro_29.html' title='La rapita- Cabrera - Puerto Petro'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SfmHxbOVJ3I/AAAAAAAAAWI/xdc5ibxQFrg/s72-c/cabrera+(63).JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-4097020911904443971</id><published>2009-04-29T19:20:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2009-04-30T14:20:09.663+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Balades à Cabrera (cliquez pour agrandir / click to enlarge)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SfiMfKTx1CI/AAAAAAAAAVw/8G2GlpkoY_A/s1600-h/Cabrera+montage.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 283px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SfiMfKTx1CI/AAAAAAAAAVw/8G2GlpkoY_A/s400/Cabrera+montage.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330164625964127266" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-4097020911904443971?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/4097020911904443971/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=4097020911904443971' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/4097020911904443971'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/4097020911904443971'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2009/04/blog-post.html' title='Balades à Cabrera (cliquez pour agrandir / click to enlarge)'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SfiMfKTx1CI/AAAAAAAAAVw/8G2GlpkoY_A/s72-c/Cabrera+montage.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-604416809438528231</id><published>2009-04-29T19:18:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2009-05-06T11:52:55.858+02:00</updated><title type='text'>La rapita- Cabrera - Puerto Petro</title><content type='html'>&lt;em&gt;We spend 2 nights anchored in San Jordi Bay and we finally get the permit to go to Cabrera but only for one day and on that day, the 26th it will be raining with strong wind on the nose. We can’t stay anchored here with this weather, we leave for La Rapita harbor where we stay two nights enough time to change the oil of the motor, make some provisioning and let the strong wind and big waves pass their way. We meet Al and Sonja, a friendly English couple, who –believe it or not- are traveling on a smaller boat than us! They left Lagos in Portugal mid-March and will go down to Sicilia before going home in Scotland in August. I call the rangers of the Park of Cabrera to know if it’s possible to delay our arrival, the guy is joking on the phone, it seems quite relax. Sonja already told me that only 6 boats where moored there against a capacity of 50, we can go there with no fear to be kicked out (and even without a permit).&lt;br /&gt;We leave La Rapita on 27th at 10am, the wind has weakened but the swell is still there. We will have to sail with the motor for a good hour so we don’t stay stuck and rolling.  At last the wind starts blowing in the beginning of the afternoon and we arrive pushed by it and with blue sky in Cabrera around 4pm. &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SfmG79ul8CI/AAAAAAAAAV4/Ui2iVqUNwa8/s1600-h/Cabrera+(40).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SfmG79ul8CI/AAAAAAAAAV4/Ui2iVqUNwa8/s320/Cabrera+(40).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330439998710083618" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;This island is a natural national park, formerly property of a lucky landlord, it is now the playground of a bunch of militaries and biologists. It is divided into several maritime zones where you can only sail, anchor at day, or not access. Everything is regulated but it’s probably the price to pay to keep this beautiful island intact. In the “harbor”, in reality a sheltered bay, it is forbidden to anchor and you have to use the buoys, happily they are free. As soon as we arrive we go on land (we land at the main jetty, the only authorized place to do so) and we climb to the castle from which we get a great view point on the whole bay. Trekking is also restricted: we can go to the castle, the museum (closed), s’Espalmador beach, you can indeed walk around half of the bay and go up to the Anciola lighthouse.  &lt;br /&gt;The island is sprinkled with “no trespassing” signs, forbidding access to all the others pathways. Frustating… Despite our one day and out of date permit we spent two peaceful nights in Cabrera.&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SfmHT7z3vzI/AAAAAAAAAWA/HUYjIZtbx9Y/s1600-h/Puerto+Petro.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SfmHT7z3vzI/AAAAAAAAAWA/HUYjIZtbx9Y/s200/Puerto+Petro.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330440410512211762" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the 29th we take off at 10am for Puerto Petro on the East Coast, we set our course to pass behind the Conejera (« rabbit » in Spanish, shit did I say it?), Plana, Pobre and Horadada islands. At first the wind is fine N-W force 3 but will become nothing from anywhere once we passed the Punta Salinas and finally will set N-E. We choose the Cala d’Es Homos Morts to drop the anchor, to be back on a very built coast line is quite a shock…&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-604416809438528231?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/604416809438528231/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=604416809438528231' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/604416809438528231'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/604416809438528231'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2009/04/la-rapita-cabrera-puerto-petro.html' title='La rapita- Cabrera - Puerto Petro'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SfmG79ul8CI/AAAAAAAAAV4/Ui2iVqUNwa8/s72-c/Cabrera+(40).JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-527331733934463410</id><published>2009-04-24T11:14:00.008+02:00</published><updated>2009-04-24T11:28:07.792+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Mallorca- Bay of Palma - south coast</title><content type='html'>&lt;em&gt;April 17, we wake up unusually early and leave Cala Portinatx at 6:45am. It’s hard. The wind is S-SW force 5 then 4, with nice waves which will after some time make me throw up an apple I just had precisely at halfway. We have set our favorite superb patchworked genoa (we call it “full beaten” as opposed to “full batten”) and we ‘ll keep all the sails on till the end of the 52M. We arrived at the end of the day at Cala Portals in the west entrance of the bay of Palma. In this cala, very crowed at week end (of course we come in on a Friday) here are caves used as worship places since the Phenicians and recently reconverted into public toilets. &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SfGDx9GnG-I/AAAAAAAAAVI/mwUZAALhYGk/s1600-h/Cala+Portals+(6).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SfGDx9GnG-I/AAAAAAAAAVI/mwUZAALhYGk/s200/Cala+Portals+(6).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328184728395127778" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;On Saturday we watch the flow of tourists coming on catamaran tour boats and luxury yachts that anchor just like you park a car. And if you you do it badly and end up to close to other boats around you, no problem, you set fenders all around and anyway you won’t land and instead spend the day sipping drinks onboard and activate the bow propeller from time to time to avoid bumping into your neighbors.  On Sunday we sail to the north of the bay, cross the way of a regatta involving very large yachts with giant colorful spinnakers and anchor in west of Las Illestas where we will stay a couple of day. &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SfGEPChm2TI/AAAAAAAAAVQ/fY-k5zKtyrY/s1600-h/Palma+(5).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SfGEPChm2TI/AAAAAAAAAVQ/fY-k5zKtyrY/s200/Palma+(5).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328185228066740530" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;We go for a walk in Palma, make some food shopping before leaving to the south coast and the Cabrera Island which is a national park for which you need a special permit. In the huge marinas of Palma there’s a collection of super-mega yachts and one in particular is much bigger than other with a very special look and name “Predator” which says much on her owner’s good spirit. In a word we will be happy to escape this place where Ata Jata and her 9.3 meters of modest rusty steel can’t afford the luxury of marinas and dreams of nice peaceful anchorages with jet-skis and flashy motor yachts. On the 22sd we leave the Bay of Palma for the Cala Pi [18M] on the South Coast. &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SfGEnvfUwII/AAAAAAAAAVY/N6GUQdfS5Ws/s1600-h/Cala+Pi+(7).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SfGEnvfUwII/AAAAAAAAAVY/N6GUQdfS5Ws/s200/Cala+Pi+(7).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328185652453621890" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;It’s a surprising cala, rather a narrow canyon where boats usually moor with one line to the shore to limit swinging; after few rounds about, we drop the anchor right in the middle. The beach at the end of the cala is in fact the mouth of a small now dried up river that used to flow down between the cliffs. Nice walk, sweet night, we take off again at noon the next day without knowing exactly where to go, we just want to find a way to apply for the permit to go to Cabrera. &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SfGFSicQ0PI/AAAAAAAAAVg/HtYsRhALEXQ/s1600-h/Colonia+de+Sant+Jordi+(10).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SfGFSicQ0PI/AAAAAAAAAVg/HtYsRhALEXQ/s200/Colonia+de+Sant+Jordi+(10).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328186387685495026" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Finally we choose to anchor close to the small and not classy harbor of Colonia de Sant Jordi where the friendly employees help us to fulfill the form and fax it for us to the office in Palma.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-527331733934463410?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/527331733934463410/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=527331733934463410' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/527331733934463410'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/527331733934463410'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2009/04/mallorca-bay-of-palma-south-coast.html' title='Mallorca- Bay of Palma - south coast'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SfGDx9GnG-I/AAAAAAAAAVI/mwUZAALhYGk/s72-c/Cala+Portals+(6).JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-1513895705956858139</id><published>2009-04-24T11:06:00.005+02:00</published><updated>2009-04-24T11:25:19.273+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Majorque – Baie de Palma - côte sud</title><content type='html'>17 avril, lever à l’aube, départ de Cala Portinatx à 6h45, putain dur ! Le vent est Sud, Sud- Ouest force 5 puis 4, idéal sauf qu’il y a quand même des belles vagues qui à force vont me faire gerber une pomme fraichement avalée, précisément à mi-parcours. On a ressorti notre superbe génois patchwork (le « full beaten » comme on l’appelle affectueusement) et on va garder toute la toile jusqu’au bout des 52M.  Arrivée en fin de journée à Cala Portals à l’entrée ouest de la Baie de Palma. Dans cette cala très encombrée le week end (forcément on arrive un vendredi) il y a quelques grottes utilisées comme lieux de cultes depuis l’époque des Phéniciens mais depuis reconvertie en toilettes publiques. &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SfGBj4sydvI/AAAAAAAAAUw/n0JNyFfLfxs/s1600-h/Cala+Portals+(3).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SfGBj4sydvI/AAAAAAAAAUw/n0JNyFfLfxs/s200/Cala+Portals+(3).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328182287671654130" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Le samedi on assiste au déferlement de touristes sur des catamarans promène-couillons et de yachts super classes qui prennent le mouillage comme on gare une bagnole. Et pis si c’est raté et qu’on est trop près les uns des autres, c’est pas grave on sort les pare-bats, de toute façon on débarque pas on sirote l’apéro toute l’après midi et on donne un coup de propulseur d’étrave de temps en temps. Le dimanche on bouge vers le Nord de la baie, on croise des grosses bailles qui régatent tout spi dehors et on se pose à Las Illetas où on restera quelques jours le temps d’aller faire un tour à Palma et de faire l’approvisionnement avant de partir pour la côte sud et l’île de Cabrera pour laquelle il faut un permit spécial. &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SfGB_tJ3T7I/AAAAAAAAAU4/K-jr_f3M-K8/s1600-h/r%C3%A9gate+baie+de+Palma+(3).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SfGB_tJ3T7I/AAAAAAAAAU4/K-jr_f3M-K8/s200/r%C3%A9gate+baie+de+Palma+(3).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328182765608718258" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Dans le port gigantesque de Palma c’est une collection de yachts monstrueux, dont un en particulier qui surpasse tous les autres en démesure et en « m’as-tu vu », son nom démontre le bon esprit de son propriétaire : Predator ! Bref vivement qu’on se casse d’ici. Ata Jata et ses modestes 9m30 de rouille, qui malgré tout ne lui permettent pas de se payer le luxe des marinas, à envie de mouillages plus peinards sans jet-skis et sans gros yachts rutilants.  Le 22 on quitte la Baie de Palma pour rejoindre la Cala Pi [18M] sur la côte sud. C’est une cala surprenante, plutôt un canyon étroit où les bateaux mouillent habituellement avec un bout tiré à la paroi, mais après plusieurs tours sur nous même nous jetons l’ancre en plein milieu. En fait la plage au fond de la cala est l’embouchure d’une rivière tarie qui descend en serpentant entre les falaises. &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SfGCjvS49zI/AAAAAAAAAVA/MbgkRSDCkdk/s1600-h/Cala+Pi+(5).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SfGCjvS49zI/AAAAAAAAAVA/MbgkRSDCkdk/s200/Cala+Pi+(5).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328183384658736946" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Petite balade, nuit peinarde, départ le lendemain à midi sans but très précis, il faut juste qu’on  trouve le moyen de faire le permis pour aller à Cabrera. On finit par se décider à aller mouiller devant Colonia de Sant Jordi un petit port sans yachts classes et avec des employés sympas qui nous aident à remplir la demande et la fax au bureau de Palma.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-1513895705956858139?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/1513895705956858139/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=1513895705956858139' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/1513895705956858139'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/1513895705956858139'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2009/04/majorque-baie-de-palma-cote-sud.html' title='Majorque – Baie de Palma - côte sud'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SfGBj4sydvI/AAAAAAAAAUw/n0JNyFfLfxs/s72-c/Cala+Portals+(3).JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-7915704091963369672</id><published>2009-04-24T11:04:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-04-24T11:06:07.258+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Formentera &amp; Ibiza (cliquez pour agrandir)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SfGA9dfB3fI/AAAAAAAAAUo/C8zeUphsfWg/s1600-h/ibiz.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 338px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SfGA9dfB3fI/AAAAAAAAAUo/C8zeUphsfWg/s400/ibiz.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328181627531156978" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-7915704091963369672?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/7915704091963369672/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=7915704091963369672' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/7915704091963369672'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/7915704091963369672'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2009/04/formentera-ibiza-cliquez-pour-agrandir.html' title='Formentera &amp; Ibiza (cliquez pour agrandir)'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SfGA9dfB3fI/AAAAAAAAAUo/C8zeUphsfWg/s72-c/ibiz.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-3412106073424659245</id><published>2009-04-21T14:57:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2009-04-21T15:38:39.025+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Sauts de puce de Botafoch à Cala Portinatx</title><content type='html'>Le 11 avril en milieu d’après-m, nous quittons la marina Botafoch d’Ibiza pour une courte nav vers Cala Llonga 5 miles plus loin. Bon ben c’est une cala tout en longueur comme son nom semble l’indiquer, dont on ne distingue l’entrée qu’une fois l’avoir presque dépassée. La encore, l’eau est claire, nous choisissons une étendue de sable pour jeter l’ancre en évitant les algues. Malheureusement pour elle, cette cala a bénéficié d’un développement touristique de mauvais goût avec des barres d’immeubles énormes dignes encore une fois d’une bonne vieille cité HLM. &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Se3GhRoaO9I/AAAAAAAAAT0/7-LWTs-Xm6w/s1600-h/Cala+Llonga+(3).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Se3GhRoaO9I/AAAAAAAAAT0/7-LWTs-Xm6w/s200/Cala+Llonga+(3).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327132209220041682" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Nous y retrouvons un voilier hollandais, Vida Vagabond déjà croisé à Espalmador que nous avions rencontré en juillet l’année dernière à Camarinas en Galice. Le coin est désert, pas un shop ou un bar d’ouvert. Nous y passerons trois nuits venteuses car le relief agit comme un goulet. Nous repartons le 14 à 11h, pensant mouiller à Santa Eulalia quelques heures le temps d’une balade mais la houle nous en dissuade.  Nous poursuivons donc notre chemin, contournons l’île de Tagomago et arrivons en début d’après-m à Clot d’es Llamp [11miles]. C’est une cala spectaculaire entourée de hautes falaises plissées dans tous les sens et percées de grottes à leur bases. Nous mouillons sur du sable tout près de la paroi, nous y sommes bien abrité du vent toujours SO force 5. Un petit tour en annexe dans les grottes, un coucou aux méduses ; Ludo récupère du bois pour réparer le support de la boussole sur laquelle il s’est vautré le matin même.&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Se3HZDuGSfI/AAAAAAAAAT8/ZEXdG5_X6IA/s1600-h/Clot+d%27es+Llamp+(23).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Se3HZDuGSfI/AAAAAAAAAT8/ZEXdG5_X6IA/s320/Clot+d%27es+Llamp+(23).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327133167558478322" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Juste avant la tombée de la nuit arrive une vieille connaissance, le superbe ketch en acier Elendil qui était au sec en même temps que nous à Kerpalu en avril 2008. Il était alors en réparation après une rencontre fort peu amicale avec un Cachalot qui avait défoncé l’avant à bâbord et bousiller l’arbre d’hélice. Nous avions sympathisé avec son ancien propriétaire Thierry qui depuis l’a revendu à la famille suisse que nous regardons amusés s’y reprendre à 3 fois pour mouiller.  Le lendemain 10h30 nous quittons ce cirque de falaise pour la Cala Portinatx au nord ouest. Le vent est variable et pétolesque jusqu’à la Punta Moscarté où enfin nous touchons du SO force 5 pour le dernier mile … Cette cala a trois branches n’est en fait pas super abritée ni du vent ni des vagues. Nous mouillons au fond devant la plage et ça roule, c’est chiant. Aujourd’hui 16 avril le ciel est redevenu bleu et le vent semble correct pour partir demain à Majorque à une 50aine de milles. On va essayer de se lever tôt pour avec un peu de chance atterrir de jour.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-3412106073424659245?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/3412106073424659245/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=3412106073424659245' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/3412106073424659245'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/3412106073424659245'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2009/04/sauts-de-puce-de-botafoch-cala.html' title='Sauts de puce de Botafoch à Cala Portinatx'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/Se3GhRoaO9I/AAAAAAAAAT0/7-LWTs-Xm6w/s72-c/Cala+Llonga+(3).JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-6075551011647205883</id><published>2009-04-16T17:39:00.008+02:00</published><updated>2009-04-16T17:56:27.229+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Baby steps between Botafoch and Cala Portinatx</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SedR5irkFuI/AAAAAAAAATY/9wS5pBYSW90/s1600-h/Cala+Llonga+(14).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SedR5irkFuI/AAAAAAAAATY/9wS5pBYSW90/s320/Cala+Llonga+(14).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325315133392819938" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;On April 11 in mid-afternoon, we leave the Botafoch Marina in Ibiza for a short sailing to Cala Llonga, 5M up north. Well, it’s a long cala as its name says whom you can see the entrance only once you almost passed it. Here again the water is clear, we choose a sand patch to drop the anchor avoiding the weeds of poor holding.&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately this cala has endured a heavy bad taste touristic development with big social housing  like buildings. We meet again Vida Vagabond a Dutch sailboat we saw quickly in Espalmador but that we first met last year in July in Camarinas, Galicia. The “town” is as dead as it can be in low season, not a single bar or shop open. We stay there for 3 windy nights as the mountains in the background form a bottle neck in which the wind funnels down. We take off on April 14 at 11am, we feel like anchoring off Santa Eulalia for a couple of hours and go for a walk in town but the swell makes us change our mind. We go on then, passing by the Tagomago island and arrive at the beginning of the afternoon at Clot d’es Llamp [11M]. It’s a spectacular cala, circled by high cliffs, folded and bended in every direction and pierced with caves at their feet. &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SedTUAQXxkI/AAAAAAAAATk/PkHw8Mul9qo/s1600-h/Clot+d%27es+Llamp+(32).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SedTUAQXxkI/AAAAAAAAATk/PkHw8Mul9qo/s320/Clot+d%27es+Llamp+(32).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325316687520056898" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We anchored on sand very close inshore, right under the wall. It’s a good shelter from the wind which is still SW force 5. We go with the dinghy to have a look at the caves, say hello to pink jellyfishes. Ludo collects some wood to repair the support of the compass he broke this morning by falling down on it. &lt;br /&gt;Just before sunset, Elendil, a superb 20m steel ketch arrives. We know her from last year, she was out of the water at the same time than us in Kerpalu in April. She was under repair after a not so friendly encountering with a sperm whale that damaged the bow and fooled the propeller shaft. We made friend with Thierry her former skipper who sold her to a Swiss family we are now laughing at as they had to try 3 times to finally anchor. The next day at 10:30am we leave to Cala Portinatx up north west. &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SedUDsUllRI/AAAAAAAAATs/cqXCx2IaA-0/s1600-h/Clot+d%27es+Llamp+(51).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SedUDsUllRI/AAAAAAAAATs/cqXCx2IaA-0/s200/Clot+d%27es+Llamp+(51).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325317506802750738" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The wind is variable and weak until Punta Moscarté where at last we get the forecasted SW force 5 wind to cover the last Mile… This cala has 3 arms but isn’t a good shelter neither from wind nor swell. We anchor in front of the beach and it’s rolling, it sucks. Today, April 16, the sky is blue again and the wind seems to be favorable to go to Majorca tomorrow, about 50M away. We’ll try to get up early and with some luck we should land before dark.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-6075551011647205883?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/6075551011647205883/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=6075551011647205883' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/6075551011647205883'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/6075551011647205883'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2009/04/baby-steps-between-botafoch-and-cala.html' title='Baby steps between Botafoch and Cala Portinatx'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SedR5irkFuI/AAAAAAAAATY/9wS5pBYSW90/s72-c/Cala+Llonga+(14).JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-532162379673529969</id><published>2009-04-16T16:57:00.008+02:00</published><updated>2009-04-16T17:38:23.405+02:00</updated><title type='text'>From Cartagena to the Baleares</title><content type='html'>&lt;em&gt;At last we are done with wintering! It’s been long, boring, painful and depressing but now we are on the move again. We leave Cartagena for the Mar Menor, 30Miles up north, after the Palos Cape. The Mar Menor is like a giant swimming pool of 10 by 5 Miles and with a maximum depth of 6m. We arrive there at twilight and almost without wind left. We miss the 8pm entrance (it’s a bridge that opens every even hours), and we have to wait till 10pm. Then we pass the Tomas Maestre Harbor and we drop the anchor when we fill like it and we enjoy a good night sleep. It’s funny to think that we can anchor anywhere here, even right in the middle of this inner sea, and some people do it to fish at ease. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SedNK9khnWI/AAAAAAAAATA/lSG1MMQDI2Q/s1600-h/Ata+Jata+(15).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SedNK9khnWI/AAAAAAAAATA/lSG1MMQDI2Q/s200/Ata+Jata+(15).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325309935110692194" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next day we sail to one of the islands, Isla Perdiguera, where we meet again Marjolaine and Fabien on their sailboat Quasar. We first met few days before in Cartagena, they had left their boat in Almerimar for the winter and went back to Bordeaux for few months. The Mar Menor is a great place to practice kitesurfing but as Ludo just sent the Naish kite in the air, its tube bursts out…so now our two kites are down and need to get repaired. Luckily there’s a surf shop in the south of the Mar Menor where we get it fixed in only 24 hours, just enough time to endure a nice little gale and we move again. All in all, this inner sea is not that nice, certainly not the lagoon we imagined, we won’t stay for long. The horizon is blocked by ugly 70’s style buildings, and it’s really a shame because this site has been extraordinary before this concrete tsunami: a 15 kilometer isthmus, a long sandy beach with dunes between the Med and this pool with high mountains and the Palos Cape as background. &lt;br /&gt;On March 22, we leave and sail straight to Moraira, 71Miles up north along the coast to shorten the distance to cross to the Baleares.  We have to do it this way because there’s no reliable weather window.  We spend two nights in Moraira harbor, do some serious food shopping, and clothes washing. Quasar arrives on the same day, they took their time and called at different places along the Costa Blanca and they also wait for favorable conditions to cross to Ibiza. On March 25 at 2pm we leave for the islands, we’ll sail through the night. The wind is good, S-SE force 4 but the sea is awful for a couple of hours, the remaining swell from the previous windy days. No problem to negotiate the cargo traffic off Cabo de la Nao before the night. Our old good wind pilot will steer almost all night until the wind falls flat at dawn and forces us to enjoy the head-aching noise of the motor. And then surprise, surprise, just at sunrise, about 5Miles from the coast, we see a whale, a fin whale precisely. Since we searched the web and we learnt it can be up to 22m long and weight up to 50t and it was right there, 50 meters from the boat, easy and quiet, having its breakfast. In spring, these whales can be spotted around the Baleares on their migration way to North. Of course, we didn’t manage to take any proper picture; it was plunging and reappearing where you can’t expect it. So you have to trust us  ;-) &lt;br /&gt;After so much excitement, we finally reach Espalmador anchorage: pristine clear water, white sandy beach, dunes… but what the F…! Mooring buoys everywhere! Can we drop the anchor or do we have to use these buoys? We read so many warnings about the ridiculous tariff of moorings in the Balearics. We called the number printed on the stickers on buoys and learnt from a nice guy that booking is compulsory only from June to September, now it’s free and we can stay a week!&lt;br /&gt;We will stay anchored there 5 days, Marjo and Fabien rapidly joined us there. We share the same concern about getting fat because of the so good cooking we allow us and the lack of exercise. We took the opportunity of going ashore for long walks around the island and discover its salty lake, dunes, turquoise bays, cliffs and amazing mounts of dry sea weed (posidonia that grow in submarine prairies), from the boat we thought they were rocks. &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SedPOecXNKI/AAAAAAAAATI/Gbhz914YO1k/s1600-h/balade+(17).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SedPOecXNKI/AAAAAAAAATI/Gbhz914YO1k/s200/balade+(17).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325312194497688738" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Then the weather got bad, rain, clouds, freshening wind, so we decided to indulge ourselves a short stay in Formentera marina (2Miles away, hard!).  Happily in this low low season, the harbor is deserted and the tariff is acceptable (20 Euros per night, in July it’s rather 110 Euros, but forget it you need to book a good year in advance). Again food  shopping, web surfing, and alternatively dinner on Quasar or Ata Jata. On April 2 we‘re back at Espalmador anchorage, again a long sailing day ;-) We’ll lazy there two more days and say bye bye to Marjo and Fabien who are going to party in Ibiza.   &lt;br /&gt;Against the most basic logic, we decide to go to the Calla Badella on the West Coast of Ibiza, which is exactly the sector where the wind is coming from! We struggle one full day to cover 10Miles, great… We give up and we have the bright idea to go to the Cala Llentrisca to spend the night.  It can be described simply by the following: the Cala Llentrisca is very small, narrow, with fishing nets on one side, buoys on the other, moored local fishing boats and rocks right in the middle…! We spot a “deep” sandy pool and drop two anchors one at the stern and one at the bow to avoid swinging as we are literally anchored in between two rocks. The night will be perfectly windless! Lucky us. &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SedQt5xIMLI/AAAAAAAAATQ/O5iiCooMXKo/s1600-h/IMG_5277.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SedQt5xIMLI/AAAAAAAAATQ/O5iiCooMXKo/s200/IMG_5277.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325313833920114866" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The next day we weigh anchor at 9:30am, firmly decided to rally Cala Badella (6M away) where we arrive around 1pm. It’s a little holiday place at the end of a nice cala which had been surely beautiful before the Spanish resort builders took care of it. We stay only one night and we feel like going straight to Ibiza town, of course again with a weak wind on the nose. And it’s gonna be slow, long, boring, all day against the wind to sail 16M and finally we end up again in Espalmador. We would have struggled all night long to reach Ibiza. This time the anchorage zone is almost full, again the weather turns bad, rain, clouds, thunderstorms, we don’t even go ashore. Finally, on April 9 we arrive at Marina Botafoch on Ibiza (Eivissa), again don’t even think about it in summer time, it’s overpriced and anyway full. We took the opportunity to walk a lot in the steep streets of the fortress and we’ll buy some food if shops are open, Eastern is serious here, and nope, we are not gonna go dancing at the Pacha!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-532162379673529969?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/532162379673529969/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=532162379673529969' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/532162379673529969'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/532162379673529969'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2009/04/from-cartagena-to-baleares.html' title='From Cartagena to the Baleares'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SedNK9khnWI/AAAAAAAAATA/lSG1MMQDI2Q/s72-c/Ata+Jata+(15).JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-4481351073168972254</id><published>2009-04-11T11:38:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2009-04-11T11:40:54.680+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Diaporama de printemps</title><content type='html'>&lt;p style="visibility:visible;"&gt;&lt;object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://widget-7c.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" height="320" width="426" style="width:426px;height:320px"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://widget-7c.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" /&gt;&lt;param name="quality" value="high" /&gt;&lt;param name="scale" value="noscale" /&gt;&lt;param name="salign" value="l" /&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"/&gt;

Il a été long et pénible, assez déprimant mais nous voilà reparti, nous quittons enfin Cartagena direction la Mar Menor, à 30milles, juste après le Cap Palos. La Mar Menor, c’est un peu une piscine géante de 10 milles sur 5, d’une profondeur maximale de 6m. Par une quasi pétole nous arrivons à la tombée de la nuit, on rate l’ouverture de l’entrée à 20h (un pont ouvrant) et devons patienter jusqu’à 22h.  On passe le port de Toma Maestre et on jette l’ancre un peu au pif et on pionce. C’est marrant de se dire que vu les fonds on peut jeter l’ancre même en plein milieu; d’ailleurs certains ne s’en privent pas pour pécher peinard.  Le lendemain on se rend à l’une des îles de cette mer intérieure, l’Isla Perdiguera où on retrouve Marjolaine et Fabien sur leur voilier Quasar (www.voilier-quasar.com). Nous les avions rencontré quelques jours auparavant à Cartagena , eux ont hiverné à Almérimar. La Mar Menor est un bon endroit pour reprendre l’apprentissage du kite surf mais pas de bol l’aile Naish explose son boudin à peine envoyée en l’air…donc les deux ailes sont nazes, il faut trouver un endroit où les réparer. Heureusement pour nous il y a un shop au sud du bassin qui nous le fait en 24h chrono, juste le temps de se prendre un petit coup de vent au mouillage et on s’y remet. Finalement la Mar Menor c’est un peu bof et on ne s’éternisera pas. L’horizon est barré par les immeubles d’appartement de vacances style HLM 70’s alors que le site était extraordinaire avant ce déferlement de béton : un isthme de sable, quelques dunes d’une quinzaine de kilomètres de long séparant la Mer Méditerranée et une grande lagune avec les montagnes en fond et le Cap Palos...&lt;br /&gt;22 mars, on trace à Moraira, à 71milles plus au nord le long de la côte pour écourter la traversée vers les Baléares.  L’absence de vent favorable nous permettant d’y aller direct nous y contraint un peu. Deux nuit au port de Moraira, grosses courses, lessives et tiens, revoilà Quasar qui a tranquillement fait plusieurs stops le long de la Costa Blanca et s’apprête aussi à traverser. Le 25 mars à 14h départ pour les Baléares, on va se le faire de nuit. Le vent est bon S-SE force 4 mais la mer est vraiment merdique pendant les quelques premières heures, ce sont les restes des jours précédents plus venteux. Pas de problème pour passer le rail du Cabo de la Nao avant la nuit et ensuite c’est le bon vieux Navic qui assure jusqu’à ce que le vent s’épuise au petit matin et nous oblige à nous casser la tête au moteur pour atteindre Espalmador. Et là, surprise, au lever du soleil, à peine à 5 miles de la côte, on tombe sur une baleine, un « rorqual commun » pour être précis. Depuis on a cherché sur le net et on sait maintenant qu’il atteint 22m et 50t. Et il était tout près ! A une cinquantaine de mètres du bateau, pépère, en train de déjeuner.  Le printemps est apparemment la période où on en rencontre aux alentours des Baléares, au cours de leur migration vers le nord. Evidemment,impossible de faire une photo car il plonge et ressort là où on ne s’y attend pas, il faudra donc nous croire sur parole ;-) &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SeBbe0Pb8xI/AAAAAAAAASQ/3zLcUfVhPSg/s1600-h/Espalmador-Formentera+(29).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SeBbe0Pb8xI/AAAAAAAAASQ/3zLcUfVhPSg/s320/Espalmador-Formentera+(29).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323355344529519378" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remis de nos émotions, nous arrivons au mouillage d’Espalmador : l’eau est transparente, la plage de sable, les dunes…mais horreur il y a des bouées, est ce qu’on a le droit de mouiller ? On a lu tellement de mises en garde sur les Baléares et les tarifs affolants du moindre corps mort. Est-ce qu’elles sont payantes ces bouées ? Un autocollant nous indique qu’il faut réserver. On appellera le numéro de téléphone pour s’entendre dire que c’est gratos et que les réservations ne sont obligatoires que de juin à septembre. On restera au mouillage 5 jours, rejoins rapidement par Fabien et Marjo avec lesquels nous partageons notre préoccupation de ne pas exploser sous l’effet des bons petits plats. On en profitera pour faire des balades sur l’île qui recèle outre cette baie paradisiaque, d’autres baies à l’eau turquoise, des falaises, un lac d’eau saumâtre et des amoncellements impressionnants de copeaux de posidonies (algues qui forment des prairies sous-marines) qu’on prenait de loin pour des rochers.  Le temps se dégrade, il fait un vrai temps breton, il pleut,  il fait gris, ca souffle un peu ; alors nous aussi on va aller souffler au port de Formentera (2 bon milles quand même !) qui pratique, heureusement pour nous, des tarifs hors saisons (20 Euros la nuit, en juillet c’est 110 Euros mais oubliez, faut réserver 1 an à l’avance !) Re courses, internet, re apéro bouffe en alternance sur Quasar. Le 2 avril, retour au mouillage à Espalmador, on enchaîne les grosses nav, dur ! Encore deux jours à glander et on dit bye bye à Quasar qui part faire la fête à Ibiza ville. Nous on décide contre toute logique d’aller sur la côte ouest de l’île d’Ibiza, à la Cala Badella avec le vent dans le pif. On s’est galéré toute une journée pour faire 10miles, les boules. On laisse tomber après une après-midi de bouchonnage et on finit par aller mouiller dans une cala minuscule au Cap Llentrisca. C’est simple, la Cala Llentrisca elle est petite, étroite, avec des filets à l’entrée, des bouées de casiers sur tout un côté, des barcasses à l’ancre et des caillasses au milieu…! On repère une bassine avec un peu de fond au dessus du sable, littéralement entre deux rochers et on jette l’ancre, une devant, une derrière car si on évite, on tape. Ouf pas un souffle d’air de toute la nuit, on n’a pas bougé. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SeBcouf1I3I/AAAAAAAAASY/9lsFXy12CP4/s1600-h/Cala+Badella+(2).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SeBcouf1I3I/AAAAAAAAASY/9lsFXy12CP4/s320/Cala+Badella+(2).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323356614297985906" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Départ de lendemain 5 avril à 9h30, bien décidés à atteindre la Cala Badella (6M), où on jettera l’ancre vers 13h. C’est une petite station balnéaire au fond d’une jolie cala en train d’être défigurée par le génie immobilier espagnol. On ne reste qu’une nuit  et on se met en tête de rallier Ibiza ville sur la côte opposée, bien sûr, inutile de préciser dans une quasi pétole au près. Et là, on va vraiment se traîner toute une journée pour faire 16 milles en tirant des bords carrés et tout ça pour une nouvelle fois finir à Espalmador, car il nous aurait fallu la nuit pour toucher au but…Re-mouillage (cette fois, il y a du monde),  re-temps pourri, re-roulis , re-vent, orages, on débarque même pas. Et enfin, le 9 avril nous atteignons la Marina Botafoch de Ibiza (là encore, oubliez y a que en ce moment que c’est abordable et qu’il y a de la place). &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SeBdZGp8E5I/AAAAAAAAASg/4jD7eRjCav4/s1600-h/Ibiza+(4).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

Le vent s’est bien calmé (ouest sud ouest force 4), la mer commence seulement. C’est pile au Cap Gata que tout se gâte, nous entendons un BMS annonçant un avis de coup de vent et quasiment en même temps le vent monte effectivement de deux forces. Hop le génois rentre au chaud, le foc prend un ris ainsi que la GV. Comme je le sens pas du tout de nous faire brasser toute la nuit, je réussi à convaincre Ludo de se replier sur San José, un petit port juste après Gata, dans le parc naturel. &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SRAN36hb63I/AAAAAAAAARY/Q5HJZzIsAZQ/s1600-h/San+Jos%C3%A9+(8).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SRAN36hb63I/AAAAAAAAARY/Q5HJZzIsAZQ/s200/San+Jos%C3%A9+(8).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264723218649574258" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Le port est très mignon entre les falaises et l’accueil est chaleureux, la note un peu moins. 35 Euros la nuit, ici le tarif hors saison connait pas ! C’est notre record de port le plus cher depuis le départ et on va y rester 3 jours à attendre une météo plus favorable. Il est vraiment minuscule ce port on a l’une des dernières places sur pendille, les autres visiteurs sont logés au ponton carburant. On va se faire une balade dans les environs montagneux et arides et réparer des bricoles (taquet de la prise de ris qui avait cassé).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SRAOZry2XXI/AAAAAAAAARg/F_IhVSKFiY0/s1600-h/Garrucha.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SRAOZry2XXI/AAAAAAAAARg/F_IhVSKFiY0/s200/Garrucha.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264723798811630962" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Le 1er novembre on décolle de San José et là le vent toujours sud-ouest, s’est carrément cassé la gueule (force 4 puis 2 puis rien) et on va faire les 15 derniers milles au moteur pour arriver à Garrucha. Là le port est « completo » nous dit le gardien mais on a le choix soit on dort au ponton carburant et on raque une nuit de port, soit on va dans le bassin des pêcheurs et c’est gratos. On a donc passé la nuit tranquillo à quai entre les chalutiers et les salvamento maritimo pour que dalle.&lt;br /&gt;Le lendemain départ 8h30 pour Carthagène. Il y a un avis de coup de vent en vigueur jusqu’à 16h mais sur le nord de la zone de Palos, nous on arrive du sud donc on suit le coup de vent en quelque sorte. &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SRAO6_Sze5I/AAAAAAAAARo/PJ89YtStB6E/s1600-h/Carthag%C3%A8ne.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SRAO6_Sze5I/AAAAAAAAARo/PJ89YtStB6E/s320/Carthag%C3%A8ne.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264724370981616530" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Le vent est encore et toujours sud ouest et va monter de force 4 à un bon 6. Les derniers milles sont pénibles la mer est hachée et courte car à l’approche de Carthagène les fonds remontent rapidement. On fini avec la GV uniquement pour ralentir l’arrivée sur la digue, à 18h on est arrivés, on a fait une moyenne de 5 nœuds.Comparée aux villes champignons de la Costa del Sol et Blanca, Carthagène a du charme et surtout une histoire : créée par les Phéniciens 200ans avant JC (encore eux !), conquise par les Romains, par les Byzantins, les Maures, elle verra aussi partir Christophe Colomb pour les Indes (ben ouais le GPS existait pas à l’époque !), fut fortifiée à la suite de batailles fameuses et de longs sièges jusqu’au 18ème, a lancé le premier sous-marin et sera du dernier carré des résistants au franquisme.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-5686973612169601991?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/5686973612169601991/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=5686973612169601991' title='3 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/5686973612169601991'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/5686973612169601991'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2008/11/de-almrimar-carthagne.html' title='De Almérimar à Carthagène'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SRAN36hb63I/AAAAAAAAARY/Q5HJZzIsAZQ/s72-c/San+Jos%C3%A9+(8).JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-2342709196987170036</id><published>2008-11-04T09:32:00.007+01:00</published><updated>2008-11-04T10:01:23.950+01:00</updated><title type='text'>From Almérimar to Cartagena</title><content type='html'>&lt;em&gt;At 9 :30am on October 29, we leave Almérimar for Cartagena, well it’s what we’re hoping. The wind has calmed down (WSW Force 4), the sea is just starting to decrease. It’s precisely when we are passing the Gata Cape that things turn wrong: we hear a gale warning on the VHF and almost at the same time the wind freshens up to force 6 all at the sudden. The genoa has to go back inside, the gib with one reef is installed and the main sail is also reefed. &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SRAKYAHCrOI/AAAAAAAAAQw/XLznkzWsSd0/s1600-h/San+Jos%C3%A9+(22).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SRAKYAHCrOI/AAAAAAAAAQw/XLznkzWsSd0/s200/San+Jos%C3%A9+(22).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264719371858783458" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; I don’t feel like bouncing all night, I manage to convince Ludo to retreat to San José, a small harbor right after the cape in a natural park. This port is really cute, inside the cliffs and we are warmly welcomed. The bill is less friendly: 35 Euros per night, the most expensive harbor since we started our trip, no low season tariff here! And we’ll stay for three days waiting for good weather.The harbor is so small that we get one of the few berths available, other visitors will have to stay at the gasoline pontoon.We’ll go for a walk in the park; the landscape is dry and hilly. &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SRALSK67d9I/AAAAAAAAARA/4W7jVc-ZwnQ/s1600-h/San+Jos%C3%A9+(29).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SRALSK67d9I/AAAAAAAAARA/4W7jVc-ZwnQ/s200/San+Jos%C3%A9+(29).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264720371193182162" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Ludo will also fix the cleat that broke on the boom.&lt;br /&gt;On the 1rst of Nov we take off and the wind is luckily still SW but is now weakenning (force 4 to 2 to nil) and we will have to sail with the motor for the last 15M to reach Garrucha. When we arrive at night fall and in the rain, the guard warns us that the harbor is “completo” we can either spend the night at the gasoline station pontoon and pay the full price or go with the fishermen where it’s free of charge. All right! We’ll spend the night “tranquilo” in between the fishing boats and the salvamento maritimo. The next day we leave for Cartagena at 8:30am, there’s a gale warning still in force until 4pm on the north of Palos area, we are coming from the south. Wind is again SW and will freshen from force 4 to a good force 6. The last miles are painful; the sea is short and aggressive because the seabed is rising up quickly near the cost. We’ll end up with the main sail only to slow down our approach toward the breakwater, at 6pm we enter the harbor. Our average has been over 5knots. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SRAMKg03rLI/AAAAAAAAARI/a-kvxobd_9E/s1600-h/Carthag%C3%A8ne+(8).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SRAMKg03rLI/AAAAAAAAARI/a-kvxobd_9E/s200/Carthag%C3%A8ne+(8).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264721339146022066" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;In comparison with the characterless cities along the Costa del Sol and Blanca, Cartagena is charming and has a glorious past. Settled by the Phoenicians (again!), conquered by the Romans, then the Byzantinas, invaded by the Maures, the city has seen Christopher Columbus leave for the Indian continent (GPS didn’t exist yet eh eh), it’s been fortified up to the 18th centurie, won famous battles, survived long-lasting sieges, launched the first ever military submarine and finally was among the last to resist to Franco.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-2342709196987170036?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/2342709196987170036/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=2342709196987170036' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/2342709196987170036'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/2342709196987170036'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2008/11/from-almrimar-to-cartagena.html' title='&lt;em&gt;From Almérimar to Cartagena&lt;/em&gt;'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SRAKYAHCrOI/AAAAAAAAAQw/XLznkzWsSd0/s72-c/San+Jos%C3%A9+(22).JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-6123465744384945560</id><published>2008-10-28T18:39:00.007+01:00</published><updated>2008-10-29T08:37:01.668+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Fearsome autumn weather</title><content type='html'>&lt;em&gt;It’s been 10 days that we are stuck in Almérimar marina, in between the Med sea and the plastic sea of thousands square meters of greenhouses in this region. Almérimar is rather boring; it’s a huge harbor able to accommodate 800 yachts, lots of them being for sale. The marina is surrounded by vacation apartments, 99% of them are empty in this season, it says much about the liveliness of the place... &lt;br /&gt;We saw again with Muriel and Stephane sailing on their Damien IV named “Iman”; we met them in Pontrieux just before with left. They are also waiting for good wind to rally the Balearic Islands and then Corsica.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SQgSgsdfJCI/AAAAAAAAAQo/jZqGryJCAdI/s1600-h/IMG_5044.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SQgSgsdfJCI/AAAAAAAAAQo/jZqGryJCAdI/s200/IMG_5044.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262476517482374178" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Two days ago we changed the navigation light at the top of the mast for a LED and as we dreaded the starboard green light turned pale blue! We’ll surely put the LED as anchor light later and look for a more suitable LED model for our nav light.&lt;br /&gt;Weather is not great, even if mostly sunny, it’s hesitating between eastern gale and western gale with one or two days of wind force close to zero in between.Yesterday it was blowing west at last but too strong and with a particularly rough sea. We'll be leaving sometime today for Cartagena 130M up north east.The sea should be calming down a little bit especially in the vicinity of the Cabo de Gata that has yet a bad reputation.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-6123465744384945560?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/6123465744384945560/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=6123465744384945560' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/6123465744384945560'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/6123465744384945560'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2008/10/fearsome-autumn-weather.html' title='&lt;em&gt;Fearsome autumn weather&lt;/em&gt;'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SQgSgsdfJCI/AAAAAAAAAQo/jZqGryJCAdI/s72-c/IMG_5044.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-929483974444790855</id><published>2008-10-28T18:21:00.005+01:00</published><updated>2008-10-29T08:33:27.095+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Temps capricieux d’automne</title><content type='html'>Ca fait maintenant plus d’une semaine que nous sommes au port d’Almérimar entre la Mer Méditerranée et les kilomètres carrés de la mer de plastique des serres environnantes. Almérimar n’a rien de fantastique, c’est un grand port de stockage de 800 places où beaucoup des bateaux sont à vendre. Le port est entouré d’appartements de vacances, vides à 99% en cette saison, bonjour l’ambiance. &lt;br /&gt;Nous avons retrouvé Muriel et Stéphane sur leur Damien IV « Iman », rencontrés peu avant notre départ de Pontrieux, ils sont eux aussi en attente de vent favorable pour rallier les Baléares puis la Corse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SQgPXnDXScI/AAAAAAAAAQY/BM1kyuuyKuA/s1600-h/IMG_5040.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SQgPXnDXScI/AAAAAAAAAQY/BM1kyuuyKuA/s200/IMG_5040.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262473062876924354" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Il y a deux jours, on a changé le feu de nav en tête de mât pour une LED et comme on le redoutait le vert de tribord est passé au bleu pâle. On l’installera sans doute plus tard comme feu de mouillage et on cherchera une LED plus adaptée pour le feu de nav. &lt;br /&gt;Le temps n’est pas super, même s’il fait grand soleil la plupart du temps, ça oscille entre coups de vent d’est et d’ouest, entrecoupés d’un ou deux jours de pétole. Hier ça soufflait ouest, enfin, mais trop fort et surtout avec une mer pas commode. Nous avons donc attendu que tout ça se calme et partons aujourd'hui pour Carthagène 130milles plus au nord est.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-929483974444790855?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/929483974444790855/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=929483974444790855' title='2 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/929483974444790855'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/929483974444790855'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2008/10/temps-capricieux-dautomne.html' title='Temps capricieux d’automne'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SQgPXnDXScI/AAAAAAAAAQY/BM1kyuuyKuA/s72-c/IMG_5040.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-6833295135174667607</id><published>2008-10-19T18:33:00.014+02:00</published><updated>2008-10-21T21:02:47.145+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Calm AFTER the storm...</title><content type='html'>&lt;em&gt;At last we left the anchorage in La Linéa on Thursday October 16 at 2:30pm. We started 2 hours before high tide in order to have the current with us as long as possible to get out of the bay and go east. We slalom in between enormous cargos anchored on both side of Europa Point, watching VHF channel 12 to anticipate their moves.&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SPtjREUfOdI/AAAAAAAAAO4/NlCDk9xpSIM/s1600-h/Gib+%C3%A0+Almer+(4).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SPtjREUfOdI/AAAAAAAAAO4/NlCDk9xpSIM/s320/Gib+%C3%A0+Almer+(4).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258906134753786322" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;When we passed the cape we clearly saw the Fedra, the cargo ship that run ashore and broke in two during the storm. Several boats are working on her, probably pumping out the fuel and maybe starting to dismantle her. &lt;br /&gt;We have a west wind window until Saturday night, which should be enough to sail 130NM. We know already that the wind won’t be strong but we didn’t expect any wind at all. This first day is still acceptable with a 4 knots speed on average. The night is endless (nice short summer nights are over…), we are progressing slowly (2knots!). Happily dolphins arrive before night fall to play with us and will stay all night around the boat. Night watches are easier when you’re not alone :-) On Friday, the wind takes its time to start blowing and to choose direction but it’s little stronger (force 4) in the afternoon before weakenning again in the night. &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SP3JoaIPoVI/AAAAAAAAAPw/K3464RcZp9U/s1600-h/IMG_5024.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SP3JoaIPoVI/AAAAAAAAAPw/K3464RcZp9U/s320/IMG_5024.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259581635884458322" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Short before noon, I saw a strange floating thing through the binoculars, Ludo decides that we should give it a closer look. It’s a half sunk big jet ski drifting, surely since the storm. Our first catch at sea!? It’s entangled in fishing nets, Ludo takes a plunge and releases it, but it doesn’t make any difference, it’s full of water. It’s impossible for us to tow it to the coast; we signal its position on channel 16 as a navigation hazard. At the end of the day wind will weaken and won’t come back before we arrive in Almérimar the next day at 4:30pm!! We had to use the engine for about 30NM otherwise we would still be stuck in the middle of the Alboran Sea. It was for sure a foretaste of sailing conditions in the Med : gale or no wind…  &lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-6833295135174667607?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/6833295135174667607/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=6833295135174667607' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/6833295135174667607'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/6833295135174667607'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2008/10/calm-after-storm.html' title='Calm AFTER the storm...'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SPtjREUfOdI/AAAAAAAAAO4/NlCDk9xpSIM/s72-c/Gib+%C3%A0+Almer+(4).JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-2394079958634628534</id><published>2008-10-19T18:03:00.007+02:00</published><updated>2008-10-21T14:19:32.215+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Le calme APRES la tempête...</title><content type='html'>Enfin nous quittons le mouillage de La Linéa ce 16 octobre à 14h30. Nous partons 2 heures avant pleine mer pour pouvoir bénéficier le plus longtemps possible du courant favorable pour sortir de la baie et progresser vers l’Est.  Nous slalomons entre les énormes cargos à l’ancre de part et d’autre d’Europa Point, en veillant le 12 pour anticiper leurs mouvements. En passant nous pouvons aussi voir le Fedra le cargo qui s’est fracassé et cassé en deux sur cette pointe pendant la tempête. Plusieurs bateaux s’affairent autour de lui probablement pour pomper le carburant restant et peut être commencer à le démanteler. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Q1sBvffuR_E&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Q1sBvffuR_E&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nous avons une fenêtre de vent d’Ouest jusqu’à samedi soir, ce qui devrait être largement suffisant pour couvrir 130M. Nous savons d’avance que le vent ne sera pas très fort mais on ne s’attendait pas à avoir de la pétole tout de même. Le premier jour c’est encore acceptable avec une moyenne de 4 nœuds. La nuit est longue (finies les belles et courtes nuits d’été…), on avance doucement (2 nœuds!). Heureusement des dauphins viennent jouer avec nous en fin de journée et nous accompagneront toute la nuit, c’est moins dur les quarts quand on n’est pas tout seul. Le lendemain le vent a encore bien du mal à se lever et à s’établir mais il souffle un peu plus fort (force 4) dans l'après midi puis retombe encore dans la nuit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SPta56sLdFI/AAAAAAAAAOw/aw52KBD17LA/s1600-h/Gib+%C3%A0+Almer+(6).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SPta56sLdFI/AAAAAAAAAOw/aw52KBD17LA/s320/Gib+%C3%A0+Almer+(6).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5258896940938785874" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;En fin de matinée le jour suivant,je repère au loin un truc bizarre qui flotte, Ludo décide d’aller voir de plus près. C’est un gros jet ski à la dérive sans doute depuis la tempête. Notre première prise de mer !? Ludo plonge et le déleste du filet qu’il traîne mais il est à moitié rempli d’eau, donc impossible pour nous de le remorquer ; on signale sa position sur le 16. Juste avant la tombée de la nuit le vent tombe et ne se relèvera pas jusqu’à notre arrivée à Almérimar, le lendemain à 16h30 !! On a dû faire une trentaine de milles au moteur sinon on serait encore au milieu de la Mer d'Alboran.

Moi je suis remontée 3 semaines en France et Ludo est resté à bricoler et à s’ennuyer sur le bateau. On a une 3ème batterie maintenant qui permet de stocker le surplus d’énergie que nous perdions auparavant. Les vents sont censés être orientés ouest en majorité à cette saison et pourtant il n’y a eu que 2 fenêtres de 48h d’Ouest en un mois !&lt;br /&gt; Le 9 Octobre, le navtex et passageweather.com annonce un bon coup de Levanter. Il est  annoncé force 8-9 pour la zone du détroit de Gibraltar pour au moins 24h. On se dit que ca va barder mais qu’on est assez protégé là où on est ; il va juste falloir prendre son mal en patience…On dort mal, forcément, puisqu’on sait ce qui va nous arriver sur la tronche. Vendredi, lever 6h30, ça commence tout juste à souffler. Vers 10h une houle de 2m se lève dans le mouillage et nous ballotte, le plus inquiétant c’est qu’elle déferle à 500m au large derrière nous (apparemment sur un haut fond) et casse devant nous à moins de 50m jusqu’à la plage…pas terrible. On se sent un peu dans la peau du surfeur attendant la vague. On démarre le moteur et à plusieurs reprises on remonte des vagues en marche arrière. On se dit que le mouillage ne va pas tenir avec un vent à décorner les bœufs et des grosses vagues et qu’on ne va pas faire du rodéo avec le moteur pendant 24h. On profite d’une relative accalmie pour remballer notre mouillage, non sans mal ; et aller se mettre à l’abri derrière le brise lame de Puerto Chico juste à côté. Au fur et à mesure pratiquement tous les autres bateaux vont faire de même. Le port est en travaux et avait viré tous les bateaux il y a un mois ; tout le monde y cherche refuge aujourd’hui. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SPR06eKXd7I/AAAAAAAAAOY/WSIxJY5bdJg/s1600-h/temp%C3%AAte+Gib+(18).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SPR06eKXd7I/AAAAAAAAAOY/WSIxJY5bdJg/s320/temp%C3%AAte+Gib+(18).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256955212925990834" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;A partir de vendredi à la mi-journée ça commence à bien souffler : Ludo mesure 37 nœuds (65km/h) avec notre petit anémomètre à main qui manque de tomber en morceaux. On espère que le mouillage va tenir : une ancre soc de charrue (12kilos) et 25 mètres de chaîne de 10mm, par 6m de fond de vase et sable. Le coup de vent (après requalifié en « tempête » à Gibraltar) s’étend d’Alger à la mer d’Alboran, au détroit de Gibraltar jusqu’à Agadir au Maroc. Sur le Navtex déjà 3 « search and rescue ». En fin de journée, un cata qui avait pété son mouillage et dérivait sans moteur et sans radio dans la baie est ramené au port par les salvamento maritimo. Il ne sera pas le seul à subir de la casse. On suit en direct sur le canal 16 la préparation de l’hélitreuillage de 31 marins d’un navire en difficulté de l’autre côté du Rocher ; on verra plus tard dans la presse qu’il s’agit du cargo Fedra qui s’est échoué et coupé en deux sur Europa Point. La nuit est longue, impossible de dormir, à tout moment, je m’attends à sentir le bateau rompre son mouillage et partir à la dérive. A 3h du mat une corne de brume nous fait bondir dans le cockpit, il y a une vedette qui dérape dans le port en traînant son ancre, elle nous passe à quelques mètres. Il n’y a personne à bord. Elle va raccrocher le fond un peu avant de s’échouer sur le brise lame, puis le vent va tourner, lui permettant de continuer sa balade entre les bateaux au mouillage, sortir du port et dériver jusqu’à l’autre bout de la baie où elle va s’immobiliser jusqu’au matin. Elle y sera récupérée indemne par son propriétaire ! &lt;br /&gt;D’énormes vagues défoncent la digue qui est maintenant ouverte sur 250m. Le vent forcit encore, le clapot dans le port est assez conséquent. Ata Jata tient toujours mais c’est le gros stress : des éclairs illuminent le ciel autour de nous toutes les 5 secondes, le vent hurle, par moment il pleut, l’eau fume, il y a des montagnes d’eau qui grignotent la digue derrière nous et à notre droite… « Putain qu’est ce que je fous là !?!? » &lt;br /&gt; Samedi matin, pas dormi ; ça souffle toujours, le vent tourne un peu et nous voilà en plein dans le couloir d’accélération entre la ville et le Rocher. A l’avant chaque rafale s’accompagne d’un « Vlan ! » énorme dans le davier. A la marina Queen’s way de l’autre côté de la digue un plaisancier note une rafale à 59 nœuds (force 11, 100km/h) ! Enfin, à la mi-journée samedi ça se calme, le bateau est tout rouge de poussière, à 15h on s’effondre et on dort ! &lt;br /&gt;Le coup  de vent annoncé s’est bel et bien transformé en tempête violente de force 11, créant des conditions de mers dantesques. Le stress aura duré 36 heures. Résultat : 2 cargos échoués, 1 sur Europa Point et 1 à Algéciras, tous les deux laissent échapper du pétrole, notre coque pleine de boulettes gluantes peut en attester. Un voilier inhabité de 12m s’est échoué sur la côte. &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SPR1jZnLG6I/AAAAAAAAAOg/bsc_pkFXdIc/s1600-h/temp%C3%AAte+Gib+(12).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SPR1jZnLG6I/AAAAAAAAAOg/bsc_pkFXdIc/s200/temp%C3%AAte+Gib+(12).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256955916079274914" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Finalement on était pas si mal au mouillage à Puerto Chico, c’est sûr un milliard de fois mieux qu’en mer et mieux qu’à la marina où les dégâts ont été importants, mais même si Ata Jata a assuré grave, suis pas pressée de revivre ça !!! Même si on va devoir faire du près pour progresser vers l’Est, on se barre d’ici !&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-2042663055406554577?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/2042663055406554577/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=2042663055406554577' title='3 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/2042663055406554577'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/2042663055406554577'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2008/10/tempte-sur-gibraltar.html' title='Tempête sur Gibraltar'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SPR06eKXd7I/AAAAAAAAAOY/WSIxJY5bdJg/s72-c/temp%C3%AAte+Gib+(18).JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-1578695441697369846</id><published>2008-10-14T12:08:00.010+02:00</published><updated>2008-10-19T22:53:51.721+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Storm on Gibraltar</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SPRxZtzmGyI/AAAAAAAAAOI/PNfm6LVHNGA/s1600-h/temp%C3%AAte+Gib+(4).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SPRxZtzmGyI/AAAAAAAAAOI/PNfm6LVHNGA/s320/temp%C3%AAte+Gib+(4).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256951351654882082" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ata Jata has been anchored for a month in front of La Linéa beach, at the far end of the Bay of Gibraltar on the Spanish side. I went back to France for 3 weeks and Ludo stayed on board, fixing things and getting bored. Now we have a third battery, which allow us to stock the extra energy we were losing before. Wind is supposed to be mainly West in this season but in a month only 2 windows of 48 hours of West wind occurred!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;On October 9, the Navtex and passageweather.com announce a fair gale of Levanter. East wind force 8 and 9 is expected in the Gibraltar strait area for at least 24 hours.  We realize there’s going to be trouble but we think we are in a safe protected place, we will just have to be patient…We sleep badly of course because we know what is coming. Friday, we wake up at 6:30am, it’s starting to blow. Around 10am a 2 meter swell enter the anchorage and we start bouncing. What’s worrying is that some waves are breaking 500m behind us (apparently on a sand bank we haven’t noticed before) but also break less than 50m in front of us toward the beach…not too good. We feel like the surfer waiting for a good wave. We start the engine and several times we have to run up the wave in reverse gear. We fear our anchorage won’t resist strong winds and big waves and for sure we won’t play this game for 24 hours. We wait for a lull of wind to pick up the anchor (and that’s not easy as the boat is already pulling hard on it) and seek shelter inside the near breakwater of Puerto Chico. One after the other almost all the boats will do the same. They are building a new port and a month ago they kick out all boats anchored inside Puerto Chico but today everybody is back for protection from the swell.&lt;br /&gt;By midday on Friday it’s blowing harder. With our little manual wind meter (that almost falls apart) Ludo measures 37knots (65km/h). We hope the anchorage will hold: 12kilos anchor and 25 meters of 10mm chain on a mud/sand 6m deep ground. &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SPRyJGsES0I/AAAAAAAAAOQ/TCvS-BIah80/s1600-h/temp%C3%AAte+Gib+(9).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SPRyJGsES0I/AAAAAAAAAOQ/TCvS-BIah80/s200/temp%C3%AAte+Gib+(9).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256952165788044098" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The gale (soon renamed “storm” in Gibraltar) warning covers an area from Algiers and all Alboran Sea, Gib strait to Agadir in Morocco. Already 3 “Search and Rescue” messages flashed on the navtex. At the end of the day a catamaran adrift in the bay has been rescued by the Salvamento Maritimo and brought to the harbor. She broke her chain; she won’t be the only one. We are following live on channel 16 the preparation of a rescue operation by an helicopter to extract 31 crew members from a drifting ship. Later we’ll read in newspaper that this ship is actually the bulk cargo Fedra which knocked on and broke in two on Europa Point. The night is long and sleepless; every minute I feel like our boat will break her anchorage and go adrift. &lt;br /&gt;At 3am the sound of a fog horn rushes us into the cockpit: there’s a motor boat dragging her anchor and drifting across the anchorage. She passes us by few meters only. There’s no one on board.  Her anchor will hold again just before she bumps into the break water, then the wind will veer and she will continue to wander around in between anchored boats, will get out of the harbor and end up on the other side of the bay where her captain will pick her up unhurt the next morning! Huge waves are dismantling the breakwater rock after rock and it is now wide open on 250meters. The wind is freshening again and the fetch in the harbor is getting worse. Ata Jata is holding good but I’m stressed out: thunder lightens the night all around us, wind is screaming, the water is smoking, there are enormous masses of water smashing up the breakwater on the left and behind us…”What the hell am I doing here?!?!?” &lt;br /&gt;Saturday morning, we haven’t slept, it’s still blowing hard. The wind veers and now it’s coming from right in between buildings of the city and the Rock, which makes an accelerating corridor. At each gust we hear a big noise from the bow. In Queen’s Bay marina on Gibraltar side a sailor notice a gust at 59 knots (force 11, 100km/h)! At last by midday it’s calming down, the boat is all covered by red dust; at 3pm we crash and snore.&lt;br /&gt;The forecasted gale turned indeed into a strong storm force 11 generating dreadful sea conditions. Our stress lasted 36 hours. Aftermaths: 2 cargos run ashore, one on Europa Point, one in Algeciras, both have oil leaks and the sticking oil balls on our hull prove it. An unmanned 44 feet sailing boat went ashore too.  Finally we were not so bad in Puerto Chico, a billion times better than at sea for sure and even better than in the Gib marinas were the causalities were serious; but even if Ata Jata made it, I’m not looking forward to experiencing this again!!! Even if we’ll have to sail against the wind toward East, we’re out of here!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-1578695441697369846?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/1578695441697369846/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=1578695441697369846' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/1578695441697369846'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/1578695441697369846'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2008/10/storm-on-gibraltar.html' title='Storm on Gibraltar'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SPRxZtzmGyI/AAAAAAAAAOI/PNfm6LVHNGA/s72-c/temp%C3%AAte+Gib+(4).JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-8880106226080024367</id><published>2008-09-14T19:45:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2008-09-14T19:46:12.353+02:00</updated><title type='text'>2éme partie du voyage</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SM1NubKhfvI/AAAAAAAAAN4/NpS4Oc4hAqo/s1600-h/2%C3%A8me+partie+du+voyage.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SM1NubKhfvI/AAAAAAAAAN4/NpS4Oc4hAqo/s400/2%C3%A8me+partie+du+voyage.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5245934600917712626" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-8880106226080024367?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/8880106226080024367/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=8880106226080024367' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/8880106226080024367'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/8880106226080024367'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2008/09/2me-partie-du-voyage.html' title='2éme partie du voyage'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SM1NubKhfvI/AAAAAAAAAN4/NpS4Oc4hAqo/s72-c/2%C3%A8me+partie+du+voyage.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-5300896661133161434</id><published>2008-09-14T17:38:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2008-09-14T19:49:28.846+02:00</updated><title type='text'>A la porte de la Méditerranée</title><content type='html'>La météo annonce un nouveau coup de Levante (vent d’Est) à partir de la nuit du 12 septembre, pour la plus grande joie des wind surfeurs mais pas la notre. Nous pourrions nous mettre à l’ancre sous le vent de l’île de Tarifa mais c’est assez agité après plusieurs jours de Poniente (vent d’Ouest). Notre voisin toujours stressé par la météo décide de partir pour Gibraltar, c’est ce que nous allons faire aussi. Nous levons l’ancre à 15h direction « Le Rocher », le vent est Sud-Sud Ouest force 5 mais c’est aussi le courant qui va nous faire avancer et faire des pointes à plus de 9 nœuds. Le trafic est dense à l’approche d’Algésiras, les ferries rapides pour le Maroc vont à fond et il ne faut pas compter sur eux pour ralentir ou infléchir leur route, il y a aussi pas mal de gros cargos mouillés dans l’entrée de la baie. Nous arrivons au mouillage de La Linéa (du côté espagnol de la grande digue) à 18h (17,5 milles), il y a déjà une trentaine de bateaux qui se balancent sur leur ancre.&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SM1NcgTp3oI/AAAAAAAAANw/sB1MKEbJLn0/s1600-h/Gibraltar+(25).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SM1NcgTp3oI/AAAAAAAAANw/sB1MKEbJLn0/s320/Gibraltar+(25).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5245934293060542082" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Gibraltar est un territoire britannique et il faut montrer son passeport pour franchir la frontière, celle-ci est matérialisée par la piste de l’aéroport qu’on traverse tout bonnement à pied, en bus ou en voiture entre les quelques décollages et atterrissages quotidiens. Rien d’extraordinaire à voir : des bus à deux étages, des cabines téléphoniques rouges ok, mais surtout des magasins qui vendent de l’alcool et du tabac à des prix détaxés, pour ce qui est de l’électronique c’est un peu l’arnaque. &lt;br /&gt;Le coup de vent annoncé n’a pas eu lieu, quelques rafales pendant la nuit mais rien de bien méchant, peut être que ça barde plus à Tarifa. Le vent va rester Est jusqu’à mardi, ce qui permettra peut être à Ludo de retourner quelques jours à Tarifa pour faire des progrès en kite surf ; quant à moi, je rentre en France pour quelques temps pour apporter un peu de soutien à mon grand-père sérieusement malade. &lt;br /&gt;Sinon ça y est on est en Méditerranée ! A Tarifa, au mouillage du côté Est de l’île on y était déjà mais là à Gibraltar c’est incontestable…&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-5300896661133161434?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/5300896661133161434/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=5300896661133161434' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/5300896661133161434'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/5300896661133161434'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2008/09/la-porte-de-la-mditerrane.html' title='A la porte de la Méditerranée'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SM1NcgTp3oI/AAAAAAAAANw/sB1MKEbJLn0/s72-c/Gibraltar+(25).JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-4801182630025656152</id><published>2008-09-14T17:18:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2008-09-14T17:38:24.208+02:00</updated><title type='text'>At the door of the Mediterranean</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SM0r57fO5QI/AAAAAAAAANo/2Tk-45VHJZY/s1600-h/Gibraltar+(31).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SM0r57fO5QI/AAAAAAAAANo/2Tk-45VHJZY/s320/Gibraltar+(31).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5245897415177725186" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Another Levante (East wind) gale warning is announced by Sept 12 in the night, wind surfers are surely happy about that but not us. We could switch to the other side of the Island of Tarifa but there are too much waves after several days of Poniente (West wind). Our neighbor, always stressed out by the weather, decides to go to Gibraltar, so do we. We weigh the anchor at 3pm and leave for “the Rock”, the wind is S S-O Force 5 but the current will also push us, up to 9 knots. The sea traffic is very heavy in the vicinity of Algeciras, fast ferries to Morocco are running full speed, don’t expect them to slow down or change their course. There are also a lot of huge cargos anchored in the entrance of the bay. After 17,5M, we arrive at 6pm at La Linéa anchorage (on the Spanish side of the long dike), there are already about 30 boats anchored in this place. &lt;br /&gt;Gibraltar is a UK territory and you need to flag your passport to pass the border, which is materialized by the airport runway that you cross by car, bus or foot in between the few daily take-offs and landings. Nothing extraordinary here:  double deck buses, red phone boxes ok, but mainly duty free alcohol and tobacco shops, for electronic goods there’s no good bargain. &lt;br /&gt;The strong East wind hasn’t shown up, some gusts but nothing serious; maybe it’s worst in Tarifa. Wind should keep on blowing East until next Tuesday, maybe Ludo will go back to Tarifa for a couple of days to practice kite surfing a little bit more. I will go back to France for some time to give support to my grand-father who’s seriously sick.&lt;br /&gt;By the way, we are in the Med! The anchorage in East of the Island of Tarifa was already technically in the Med, but now in Gibraltar it’s indisputable …&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-4801182630025656152?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/4801182630025656152/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=4801182630025656152' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/4801182630025656152'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/4801182630025656152'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2008/09/at-door-of-mediterranean.html' title='At the door of the Mediterranean'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SM0r57fO5QI/AAAAAAAAANo/2Tk-45VHJZY/s72-c/Gibraltar+(31).JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-169409112999825387</id><published>2008-09-09T13:25:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2008-09-09T14:37:09.857+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Première rencontre avec le Levanter</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SMZfuTVPD3I/AAAAAAAAANg/BHdy4oafE-k/s1600-h/Tarifa+(8).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SMZfuTVPD3I/AAAAAAAAANg/BHdy4oafE-k/s320/Tarifa+(8).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243984065187483506" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Tarifa est une des étapes les plus sympas depuis notre départ, l’ambiance y est cosmopolite, la vieille ville est pleine de charme. Je profite de la plage (et des coups de soleil) et Ludo du vent léger pour s’essayer au kite-surf. &lt;br /&gt;Après deux nuits à l’ancre entre le port et l’île de Tarifa, notre voisin de mouillage nous informe qu’un coup de Levanter se prépare. Ce vent d’Est devrait commencer à souffler pendant la nuit. La météo annonce force 4-5 (20 à 40km/h) dans le détroit, mais « hé, hé, ici c’est Tarifa ça souffle toujours facilement deux forces de plus ». Ici le vent force 8-9 c’est la routine et force 10 ça arrive. On voit donc partir son catamaran de 12m dans le port qui est tout sauf équipé pour la plaisance : pas de pontons, seulement des quais en béton assez hauts pour les pêcheurs, les bateaux de sortie en mer et les ferries.&lt;br /&gt;Après mûre réflexion et un tour dans le port pour voir où se caser, on décide nous aussi d’aller s’y réfugier. Vers 19h30, on squatte une place devant le cata, le long d’un quai au vent, étonnamment libre dans un port bondé, mais encombré de filets de pêches pliés. On se rend compte tout de suite que nos pare-battages maigrichons ne ferons pas l’affaire quand le bateau sera plaqué contre le quai, c’est un coup à tordre les chandeliers et le balcon. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SMZduVqfWuI/AAAAAAAAANY/7wzhykHLMEA/s1600-h/IMG_4952.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SMZduVqfWuI/AAAAAAAAANY/7wzhykHLMEA/s320/IMG_4952.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243981866790247138" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Je pars donc en quête de grosses bouées rondes pour compléter notre dispositif de protection et là, je tombe sur une bande de pêcheurs wind-surfeur Allemands et Espagnols très sympas qui, non seulement nous prêtent les défenses, mais nous invitent le soir même à célébrer la feria dans le petit bar d’un de leur pote. La ville entre en effet dans une semaine intense de fiesta avec cavaliers en costume descendus des montagnes, processions religieuses et Andalouses de tous âges en robes traditionnelles à pois et flonflons. Quand nous rentrons au bateau dans la nuit, le vent n’est toujours pas passé est, on se dit que ca valait vraiment pas le coup de s’affoler… vers 6h du matin on changera d’avis. Le vent va monter continuellement jusqu’à atteindre un bon 50km/h établi avec des rafales à 60.  On aurait pu amarrer Ata Jata avec des brins de laine, il est carrément scotché au quai ! Et c’est évidemment en milieu d’après-midi, quand ça bastonne bien que les pêcheurs arrivent en nous demandant de dégager pour qu’ils puissent embarquer leurs filets posés sur le quai au dessus de nous. D’abord le cata a dû faire une manœuvre difficile, car impossible de s’écarter du quai ; il a été tracté par un bateau de pêche et est passé à un quart de poil de notre arrière ; ensuite, ça a été à nous de faire glisser Ata Jata le long du quai en le tirant par les amarres entre deux bateaux de pêche. Le vent s’est finalement calmé au petit matin, les mêmes pêcheurs de retour de la marée nous ont réveillés et on est retourné reprendre notre place au mouillage, aujourd’hui ça devrait être quasi-pétole. &lt;br /&gt;Le port a beau être sans aucun confort, on peut s’y abriter sans que personne ne vous demande rien, pas de papiers, pas un radis ; et même si les pêcheurs s’agacent quand on gêne leurs manœuvres, ils savent aussi que c’est pas un temps à mettre un bateau dehors !&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-169409112999825387?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/169409112999825387/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=169409112999825387' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/169409112999825387'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/169409112999825387'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2008/09/premire-rencontre-avec-le-levanter.html' title='Première rencontre avec le Levanter'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SMZfuTVPD3I/AAAAAAAAANg/BHdy4oafE-k/s72-c/Tarifa+(8).JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-719915287267353996</id><published>2008-09-09T13:03:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2008-09-12T22:46:56.048+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Introduction to Levante</title><content type='html'>&lt;em&gt;Tarifa is one of the nicest stages of our trip so far, the atmosphere is cosmopolitan and the old city is charming. I enjoy the beach (and the sunburns!) and Ludo practices kitesurfing.&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SMZZ7NRcOaI/AAAAAAAAANI/4piL_DAoldg/s1600-h/IMG_4951.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SMZZ7NRcOaI/AAAAAAAAANI/4piL_DAoldg/s320/IMG_4951.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243977689829489058" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;After two nights anchored between the port and Tarifa Island, our floating neighbor let us know there might be a Levanter gale. This eastern wind should start blowing in the night. The weather forecast announces force 4-5 (20 to 40km per hour) in the Strait but “hey guys, here it’s Tarifa, it’s usually 2 forces stronger”. Here wind force 8-9 is common and 10 happens. We see the 12m catamaran entering the harbor which is not at all equipped for pleasure boats: no pontoons, only concrete quays for fishing, whale watching boats and ferries. After thinking it over and wandering around in the harbor to find a spot Ata Jata could fit in, we also decide to take shelter inside. Around 7:30pm we are squatting a place in front of the catamaran along an empty pier (surprising in a crowded harbor) full of folded fishing nets above it. We understand right away that our skinny fenders won’t do the job when the boat will be pushed against the wall. So I start looking for big round buoys to complete our defense and by chance I meet a gang of very friendly German and Spanish wind surfer fishermen who, not only helped us with the buoys, but also invite us to celebrate the feria in the bar of one of their friends. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SMZblO5WwHI/AAAAAAAAANQ/RAclMf0Rhfw/s1600-h/Tarifa+(46).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SMZblO5WwHI/AAAAAAAAANQ/RAclMf0Rhfw/s200/Tarifa+(46).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5243979511331471474" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The city is indeed kick starting a full week of fiesta with costumed horse riders from surrounding mountains, religious processions and Andalusian women dressed in flounced spotted traditional dresses. When we come back to the boat later in the night the wind hasn’t even veered east and we think maybe we panicked for nothing…at 6am we know we were wrong. Wind will freshen continuously until it reaches 50km per hour with gusts at 60.   We could have moored Ata Jata with wool strings; she’s literally stuck to the pier! And of course, it’s in the middle of the afternoon when the wind is beating hard that fishermen arrive and ask us to get off to let them collect their nets. First the catamaran will have to make a tricky move, towed by a fishing boat to leave the pier and avoid our boat by only few centimeters and then we will have to slip Ata Jata along the quay by pulling the mooring lines. The wind will finally weaken at dawn. The same fishermen, back from sea, woke us up and we went back to our anchoring spot. Today there shouldn’t be any wind at all.&lt;br /&gt;This harbor is definitely uncomfortable but you can seek shelter here, no one will ask you anything, no paperwork, no money, and even if the fishermen are a bit pissed off that we are disturbing their routine, they wouldn’t let a sailing boat outside in such bad weather.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-719915287267353996?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/719915287267353996/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=719915287267353996' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/719915287267353996'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/719915287267353996'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2008/09/introduction-to-levante.html' title='Introduction to Levante'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SMZZ7NRcOaI/AAAAAAAAANI/4piL_DAoldg/s72-c/IMG_4951.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-761102553469528318</id><published>2008-09-06T14:26:00.011+02:00</published><updated>2008-09-08T14:27:04.437+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Coups de Trafalgar : Rota- Puerto de Conil – Tarifa</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SMJ3Pq2T3sI/AAAAAAAAAMk/p5WTP_G8lT8/s1600-h/Puerto+de+Conil-Tarifa+(7).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SMJ3Pq2T3sI/AAAAAAAAAMk/p5WTP_G8lT8/s200/Puerto+de+Conil-Tarifa+(7).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242884027296505538" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Nous restons une nuit supplémentaire non prévue à Rota pour laisser le temps à Ludo de faire une vidange et surtout de trouver une solution à la fuite d’une de nos vaches à eau à l’avant. Une fois tout réparer nous partons, le 4 septembre vers 14h. La météo annonce du vent d’Ouest force 3-4 mais encore une fois ça ne va pas durer, nous qui prévoyions d’atteindre Tarifa le soir même… rien à faire contre la pétole et pas question de tout faire au moteur. Nous laissons au loin le Cap Trafalgar et allons nous mettre au mouillage à Puerto de Conil [à 25M de Rota seulement], petit port de pêche au pied de falaises ocres.  Petite parenthèse historique, comme le nom l’indique, c’est bien dans ces parages qu’en octobre 1805, les flottes françaises alliées aux espagnoles dans le dessein d’envahir l’Angleterre se prirent une branlée monumentale par le rusé amiral Nelson.  Les plans de Napoléon ont été réduits à néant et l’Angleterre a ainsi rétabli sa suprématie sur les mers pour encore un siècle.&lt;br /&gt;Nous jetons l’ancre juste devant une petite plage nous disant qu’au moins on pourra bien dormir et repartir de plus belle le lendemain.  &lt;br /&gt;Le problème c’est que la plage est exposée S-O pile poil d’où  va venir la houle qu’on prendra de travers toute la nuit. En plus, le fond est plein de caillasses sur lesquelles la chaine frotte et s’accroche faisant de bruits horribles, même avec des bouchons d’oreilles je n’arrive pas à dormir et le roulis irrégulier n’arrange rien. &lt;br /&gt;C’est en ayant mal au dos, mal dormi et en étant mal lunés que nous redécollons le lendemain à 11h moins le quart bien décidés à passer Trafalgar et à rejoindre la Mecque européenne de la planche à voile et du kite surf. On se dit même que ça va être sportif car le navtex nous flatte d’un vent SO-O force 4 à 5 avec passage à 6 ! C’est là qu’est le coup de Trafalgar, le vent ne va pas se lever de la journée dans un des endroits le plus ventés du monde avec plus de 300 jours de vents à plus de 30 nœuds par an! Heureusement des dauphins vont venir nous remonter le moral pendant une bonne heure. On va devoir faire 25 milles au moteur...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SMJ5Z_T_MZI/AAAAAAAAAM4/y3pCGgUYAzc/s1600-h/IMG_4918.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SMJ5Z_T_MZI/AAAAAAAAAM4/y3pCGgUYAzc/s200/IMG_4918.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242886403611636114" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;En plus, juste avant d’arriver, on va se payer une petite frayeur quand, emmenés par le courant du détroit, on est carrément passé sur la fin du haut fond Bajos de los Cabezos qui déferle même par beau temps et où il y a une collection d’épaves. Enfin vers 21h, ça y est on est posé à Tarifa dans la petite baie à côté du port ce qui nous met au première loge pour voir le ballet des monstrueux ferries rapides qui font Tarifa-Tanger en 35min&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-761102553469528318?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/761102553469528318/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=761102553469528318' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/761102553469528318'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/761102553469528318'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2008/09/coups-de-trafalgar-rota-puerto-de-conil.html' title='Coups de Trafalgar : Rota- Puerto de Conil – Tarifa'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SMJ3Pq2T3sI/AAAAAAAAAMk/p5WTP_G8lT8/s72-c/Puerto+de+Conil-Tarifa+(7).JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-8798283048578550618</id><published>2008-09-06T14:14:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2008-09-06T14:26:04.647+02:00</updated><title type='text'>The Trafalgar trick: Rota-Puerto de Conil-Tarifa</title><content type='html'>&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SMJ0iVJH2TI/AAAAAAAAAMU/f3JHexJpXrM/s1600-h/Puerto+de+Conil+-+Tarifa+(5).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SMJ0iVJH2TI/AAAAAAAAAMU/f3JHexJpXrM/s200/Puerto+de+Conil+-+Tarifa+(5).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242881049352460594" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We stayed one more night than planned in Rota to let Ludo the time to change the oil of the engine and solve the problem of the leaking water tank at the bow of the boat. On September 4, 2pm, once everything is fixed we leave the harbor. The weather forecast announces a W F3-4 wind but it once again it won’t last, and foolishly we expected to reach Tarifa in the evening… there’s nothing to do but leaving the Trafalgar Cape on the horizon and divert to Puerto de Conil [only 25M away from Rota!]  and drop the anchor for the night. It’s a small fishing harbor at the foot of yellow cliffs. Short historical note: yes, as the name says, it’s around here that in October 1805 French fleets and their Spanish allies who were planning to invade Great Britain got their ass kicked by the smart Admiral Nelson.  Napoléon’s dreams were destroyed forever and Great Britain re-established its supremacy on seas for the next century.&lt;br /&gt;We anchor right in front of a small beach next to Conil harbor, thinking that at least we’ll have a good night sleep and be refresh for the next sailing day. The problem is that this beach is exposed to the S-W, right where the swell will be coming from all night long. On the top of that, the ground is full of rocks on which the chain and anchor will be rubbing and hooking with awful noises, even with ear-plugs I didn’t manage to sleep…&lt;br /&gt;It’s with backache, very tired and grumpy that we take off again the next day at 10:45am, decided to pass the Trafalgar Cape and reach the Mecca of windsurfing. We even think it’s going to be a sportive sailing, the navtex flatters us with a “Force 4-5 occasionally 6 SW-W wind”! And that’s the Trafalgar trick, just like in the battle in 19th century that’s the lack of wind that beats us! The wind won’t get up in the entire day, despite the fact we are in one of the windiest place in the world (300 days of wind over 30knots per year, hundreds of wind mills everywhere!). Happily dolphins will cheer us up and stay playing with the boat for a good hour. We will have to cover 25M with the motor.&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SMJ1k6Z2dWI/AAAAAAAAAMc/NlrPk0BFpfQ/s1600-h/IMG_4921.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SMJ1k6Z2dWI/AAAAAAAAAMc/NlrPk0BFpfQ/s200/IMG_4921.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242882193226102114" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;And in addition, just before we arrived in Tarifa we’ve been taken away by the strong current of the strait and we passed dangerously closed to Bajos de los Cabezos, a bank where waves break even by nice weather and where there’s a collection of wrecks. It’s been really hair-raising. At last around 9pm we settle in the small bay near the harbor of Tarifa. From here we can have a close look on the monster speed boats which link Tarifa to Tanger in Morocco in only 35min.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-8798283048578550618?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/8798283048578550618/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=8798283048578550618' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/8798283048578550618'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/8798283048578550618'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2008/09/trafalgar-trick-rota-puerto-de-conil.html' title='The Trafalgar trick: Rota-Puerto de Conil-Tarifa'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SMJ0iVJH2TI/AAAAAAAAAMU/f3JHexJpXrM/s72-c/Puerto+de+Conil+-+Tarifa+(5).JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-1460892813599186632</id><published>2008-09-03T00:02:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2008-09-03T00:02:20.910+02:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;embed src="http://widget-71.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&amp;amp;il=1&amp;amp;channel=2954361355563946353&amp;amp;site=widget-71.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&amp;amp;at=un&amp;amp;id=2954361355563946353&amp;amp;map=1" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://widget-71.slide.com/p1/2954361355563946353/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

There’s a heavy mist (we notice it once we’ve passed the breakwater) but light wind, vaguely west. That’s a shame we won’t see much of the impressive cliffs, pierced of huge caves between Portimão and Punta Alfanzina. After painfully slow 20 miles under hard sun, we give up and turn to the direction of Villamoura harbor, to rejoin the crowd. Villamoura is a bit like the Rivera, very classy. The marina is full of luxurious motor yachts and for sure they don’t all belong to Totoloto (the Portuguese lottery) winners, we see so many Porsche cars that we're bored…. We allow ourselves a nice restaurant (well, a pizzeria) to celebrate our first 1000 Miles (no we haven’t been gambling at the flashy casino) and the next day at 2:30pm we take off again for Andalusia. We’ll cross the Portuguese border in the middle of the night and change the courtesy flag for the Spanish one again. At first wind is S-W, then as usual it will veer gradually to end up N-W during the night, F3-4. We expected a long night without wind, just floating around but after a couple hours of weak air, wind came back. We reach Rota the next day at noon, 95M further.&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SL21RTbJ1hI/AAAAAAAAAL8/hw-aBs-1C1M/s1600-h/Rota+(9).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SL21RTbJ1hI/AAAAAAAAAL8/hw-aBs-1C1M/s200/Rota+(9).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241544850205693458" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Rota is a small friendly touristic place with some old castles and churches. Its interest is for us that it’s located only 25 min away by ferry from Cadiz, an old city we wished to visit without staying at its gloomy marina. Funded by the Phoenicians 3000 years BC, it got wealthy thanks to trade with the New World; that explains its rich architecture. For pictures of Cadiz, see the slide show, no doubt we are here in the very catholic Spain: churches, basilicas, cathedrals and religious trinkets at every corner ;-)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-8011196305716582096?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/8011196305716582096/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=8011196305716582096' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/8011196305716582096'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/8011196305716582096'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2008/09/from-portugal-to-adalusia.html' title='From Portugal to Andalusia'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SL25Acl_UaI/AAAAAAAAAMM/gE0N8OJtoRo/s72-c/IMG_4839.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-5339656500984591101</id><published>2008-09-02T23:13:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2008-09-02T23:22:37.113+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Du Portugal à l'Andalousie</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SL2uX5Ai4tI/AAAAAAAAALs/93887s3LQao/s1600-h/Villamoura.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SL2uX5Ai4tI/AAAAAAAAALs/93887s3LQao/s200/Villamoura.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241537266792456914" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Après deux jours dans le mouillage tranquille de Portimão,à proximité du village pittoresque de Ferragudo, nous levons l’ancre à la mi-journée le 30 août. Il y a beaucoup de brume (on s’en rend compte une fois passé le brise lame) mais peu de vent vaguement d’ouest. Dommage, on verra à peine les falaises spectaculaires parsemées de grandes grottes entre Portimão et la Punta Alfanzina. Après 20 milles sous un soleil de plomb, on en a marre et on va bifurquer vers le port de Villamoura, histoire d’aller se mêler à la foule. &lt;br /&gt;Villamoura c’est un peu la Côte d’Azur, assez classe. Le port est plein de yachts de luxe (et pas que des gagnants du Totoloto, la lotterie portugaise !) et à force de voir passer des Porsche on s’en lasse…Un petit resto pour fêter nos 1000 milles (non pas le casino) et hop c’est reparti le lendemain à 14h30 direction l’Andalousie, nous passerons la frontière virtuelle portugaise au milieu de la nuit.&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SL2tTBzvw7I/AAAAAAAAALc/wRLz3am7od4/s1600-h/Villamoura+(4).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SL2tTBzvw7I/AAAAAAAAALc/wRLz3am7od4/s200/Villamoura+(4).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241536083743720370" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Au départ le vent est  S-O puis, comme d’hab, tourne au fur et à mesure pour finir N-O pendant la nuit, force 3-4. On a eu peur de se refaire une nuit de pétole à bouchonner mais le vent est reparti après une petite faiblesse et on a bien avancé. On est arrivé à Rota, 95milles plus loin, à midi. C’est une petite station balnéaire assez sympa avec quelques vieilles pierres, son intérêt c’est surtout d’être à 25min en ferry de Cadix (Cadiz en Espagnol), une ville pleine d’histoire que nous voulons visiter sans forcément séjourner dans sa marina lugubre.  Fondée par les Phéniciens 3000 ans avant JC, elle a ensuite prospéré grâce au commerce avec le Nouveau Monde, ce qui explique sa richesse architecturale. Pour les photos de Cadix, voir le diaporama : basiliques, cathédrales, églises et bondieuseries à tous les coins de rue ;-)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

J’ai mal au dos et du coup je vais quasiment faire tout le voyage allongée dans la cabine. Comme souvent nous avons vu des dauphins qui sont venus jouer autour du bateau, mais ceux-là (plusieurs dizaines de dauphins communs et quelques grands dauphins) étaient particulièrement curieux, sortant de l’eau à ras de la coque pour mieux nous regarder.

Dommage on le passera pendant la nuit en récupérant du vent à sa proximité, on ne verra pas ses impressionnantes falaises qui tombent à pic dans l’eau. On les aura juste devinées comme on est passé tout près. Au fur et à mesure qu’on s’éloigne du cap, le vent diminue à nouveau et le trafic côtier s’intensifie.  L’arrivée à Portimão va devoir se faire au moteur, on jette l’ancre vers 11h (24h pour faire 84 milles !) à l’intérieur du brise lame Est, il y a déjà une vingtaine de bateaux au mouillage on dirait un petit village sur l’eau. L’odeur des pins et la chaleur qui nous assaillent nous font réaliser qu’on est bien sud maintenant.&lt;br /&gt;Ca y est on a dépassé les 1000 milles parcourus depuis Pontrieux (exactement 1071), on est maintenant dans la dernière ligne droite pour franchir Gibraltar et enfin entrer en Méditerranée.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-338343599371158060?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/338343599371158060/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=338343599371158060' title='3 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/338343599371158060'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/338343599371158060'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2008/08/1000-milles-et-un-cap-de-plus.html' title='1000 milles et un cap de plus !'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SLgJ1q5D2FI/AAAAAAAAALE/SgE4XVQ2s_4/s72-c/Portim%C3%A3o+(4).JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-5294695414120769364</id><published>2008-08-29T16:26:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2008-08-29T16:36:19.043+02:00</updated><title type='text'>1000 miles and one more major Cape!</title><content type='html'>&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SLgH1rPBW8I/AAAAAAAAAK0/h_OBybADG2o/s1600-h/Portim%C3%A3o+(11).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SLgH1rPBW8I/AAAAAAAAAK0/h_OBybADG2o/s400/Portim%C3%A3o+(11).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239946785165761474" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We leave Sines by midday, the weather is sunny and the light wind (force 3-4) is West and later North-West. My back is quite painful and therefore I’ll stay almost all the time in bed in the cabin. As usual dolphins came to play around the boat but these (dozens of common dolphins and some bottlenose dolphins) are especially curious, they emerge right near the hull to stare at us. We could have touched them!&lt;br /&gt;The wind won’t be blowing for long, at 8pm we are stuck at about 20M from São Vincente Cape. That’s a shame, we’ll pass this cape at night, and we won’t see his impressive sharp cliffs falling steeply into the water. We hardly guessed them as we sailed very close to the shore and listened to the waves breaking. The more we move away from the cape the more wind is weakening again. The traffic is also intensifying and we see red and green lights all around us.  To reach Portimão we will have to use the motor, we drop the anchor at 11am (it took 24 hours for 84M!) inside the East breakwater where about 20 boats are already anchored.&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SLgI0L3YAOI/AAAAAAAAAK8/wcoRo7KVt-s/s1600-h/IMG_4833.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SLgI0L3YAOI/AAAAAAAAAK8/wcoRo7KVt-s/s200/IMG_4833.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239947859076841698" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;It looks like a village on water.

At 9am, Ludo weighs the anchor without problems: incredible it hasn’t moved in 6 days, with only 25 meters of 10mm chain, on the sand despite heavy winds around 30 knots that have been blowing every night.&lt;br /&gt;Today, August 24, wind is again N-W, force 4-5. Weather is really without surprise here in Portugal, when you go south it’s a pleasure, except when the swell is too strong. On the contrary, each time we see a much heeled boat going up the wind, beating in each wave, we have a thought for them; we are the lucky ones, waves are pushing us...&lt;br /&gt;We start with the traditional couple of hours of no wind...grrrr. We have to admit that’s rather useless to get up early in Portugal, it’s much better to stay late in bed and it won’t delay our arrival at the next call anyway. At the beginning of the afternoon, the wind starts freshening and we are speeding up 4, 5 then 6 knots on average with burst of speed at more than 10 knots in surfing waves. The approach of Sines is very similar to Leixoès or Dunkerque: factories smokestacks, industries, big cargos ships waiting for pilots. Here again the harbor is huge with LNG ships and super tankers..&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SLLwbIoK5OI/AAAAAAAAAKk/WVXjgwaajS4/s1600-h/Sines+(8).JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238513665548412130" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SLLwbIoK5OI/AAAAAAAAAKk/WVXjgwaajS4/s200/Sines+(8).JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a well protected little bay with a beach in a corner (lined by a small marina on the right and a tiny fishing harbor on the left), that’s where we drop the anchor when we arrive just before 9pm. We have sailed 55M today under a perfect blue sky.There’s a statue dominating the bay, it represents Vasco da Gama, Sines is his birth place. He explored India in the 15th century and he made Goa and the Malabar Coast Portuguese colonies, way before the hippy invasion in the 60-70’s and the more recent one by trance Goa lovers...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-2791562907432178816?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/2791562907432178816/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=2791562907432178816' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/2791562907432178816'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/2791562907432178816'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2008/08/cascais-sines_25.html' title='Cascais-Sines'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SLLwbIoK5OI/AAAAAAAAAKk/WVXjgwaajS4/s72-c/Sines+(8).JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-8048786499557619308</id><published>2008-08-25T19:27:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2008-08-25T19:54:22.082+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Cascais-Sines</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SLLxwZJ45aI/AAAAAAAAAKs/WnYHJR_4hG4/s1600-h/Sines+(9).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SLLxwZJ45aI/AAAAAAAAAKs/WnYHJR_4hG4/s320/Sines+(9).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5238515130273686946" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Après une dernière balade, un retour en annexe très arrosé et une nuit super venteuse, c’est le moment de quitter Cascais et la région de Lisbonne. A 9h du mat Ludo relève l’ancre, sans aucun problème, incroyable qu’elle ait tenue 6 jours, avec seulement ses 25m de chaîne de 10mm et quelques mètres de cablot, juste posée sur le fond de sable alors que tous les soirs le vent « catabatique » soufflait toujours autour des 30 nœuds. &lt;br /&gt;Ce 24 août, le vent est encore N-O force 4-5. La météo au Portugal c’est vraiment sans surprise, quand on va vers le sud c’est un vrai plaisir, sauf quand la houle s’en mêle. Par contre,  à chaque fois qu’on croise un bateau bien gîté et qui tape dans les vagues, on a une pensée pour ceux qui remontent, au moins nous, les vagues, elles nous poussent…  &lt;br /&gt;On commence par les traditionnelles deux heures de pétole. Il faudra qu’on admette qu’une grasse mat’ au Portugal ne retarde pas une journée de nav.  En début d’après-midi, le vent commence à monter et nous à avancer 4, 5, puis 6 nœuds de moyenne avec  des pointes à plus de 10 nœuds dans les surfs. L’approche de Sines ressemble assez à celle de Leixoès ou Dunkerque, cheminées d’usines et d’industrie, gros cargos en attente. Le port est là aussi énorme avec des méthaniers et des super-tankers. Il une petite plage dans le fond, bordée d’un côté par une petite marina et de l’autre par le port de pêche. C’est là que nous jetons l’ancre à notre arrivée un peu avant 21h, nous avons fait 55milles sous un ciel parfaitement bleu. Une statue surplombe le port, c’est celle de Vasco de Gama, Sines est sa ville natale. Colonisateur des Indes au XVème siècle, c’est lui qui fit de Goa et de la côte Malabar des possessions portugaises avant l’invasion hippy des années 60-70 et celle plus récente des adorateurs de la trance-goa !&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-8048786499557619308?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/8048786499557619308/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=8048786499557619308' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/8048786499557619308'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/8048786499557619308'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2008/08/cascais-sines.html' title='Cascais-Sines'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SLLxwZJ45aI/AAAAAAAAAKs/WnYHJR_4hG4/s72-c/Sines+(9).JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-8087920812653158357</id><published>2008-08-23T17:52:00.005+02:00</published><updated>2008-08-23T18:04:25.209+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Sao Martinho do Porto- Cascais</title><content type='html'>Départ de Nazaré le 17 août, vers 14h, le vent est plutôt Ouest Nord-Ouest, un petit bord de près pour sortir de la baie puis direction Cascais. Au bout de 4 heures nous avons parcouru seulement 5 milles, le vent passe de force 2 (en étant généreux) à pétole établie. L’entrée de Sao Martinho do Porto semble d’un coup accueillante : pourquoi passer la nuit à bouchonner devant ? Autant faire relâche dans cette baie naturelle parfaitement ronde et repartir demain.  C’est vraiment une curiosité géologique, l’entrée entre deux falaises est très étroite et il faut rentrer en suivant un alignement pour passer les barres de chaque côté. Nous avions déjà vu sur le navtex des messages indiquant cette entrée fermée dès que la houle se lève, tu m’étonnes !  Ata Jata est le seul visiteur dans la baie, il y a 2m d’eau. C’est une petite station balnéaire où le site n’a pas encore totalement été défiguré. La météo annonce des vagues ce qui n’est pas terrible car on pourrait bien rester coincés là.&lt;br /&gt; A midi et demi le lendemain, c’est reparti.  Une vague qui déferle un peu ici et là mais ça passe. On apprendra que l’entrée de Sao Martinho a été fermée quelques heures plus tard.  Le vent est NO, force 2-3  mais nous savons qu’il va se renforcer dans l’après midi jusqu’à force 5, et encore plus entre les caps Cabo da Roca et Cabo Raso. La houle aussi va aller en augmentant pour atteindre des vagues de 3,5-4,5m dans la nuit. L’approche de Cascais est assez confuse entre les phares un peu faiblards, les feux de cargos au mouillage attendant un pilote pour entrer dans le Tage et toutes les lumières de la ville. Vers 3h du mat’ nous arrivons au mouillage à l’est de la marina top classe. Ca souffle bien et il y a de belles vagues qui cassent sur la plage. Est-ce que l’ancre va tenir ?&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SLAyiCgsRgI/AAAAAAAAAJs/ga5_i69495Q/s1600-h/IMG_4791.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SLAyiCgsRgI/AAAAAAAAAJs/ga5_i69495Q/s200/IMG_4791.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237741927002818050" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trois jours plus tard et même avec les rafales à plus de 35noeuds de la nuit dernière, elle n’a pas bougé d’un pouce : elle tient même sans doute trop bien... Jeudi matin nous voyons passer l’Artic Sunrise, brise glace de Greenpeace qui s’arrête pour une escale technique à Lisbonne.  &lt;br /&gt;Notre prochaine étape (si l’ancre n’est pas crochée dans un rocher) nous fera franchir la barre des 1000 milles parcourus depuis Pontrieux.

We have to tack against the wind to get out of the bay, and then steer for Cascais. After 4 hours we have done only 5 miles, the wind drops from force 2 (being generous) to nothing. Sao Martinho do Porto seems suddenly attractive : why stay all night immobile in front of it, let’s go there and get a good night sleep and start again tomorrow. This bay is really exceptional, perfectly circular, but the entrance is very narrow in between two steep cliffs against which waves break. We’ve already read navtex messages saying the entrance was closed because of big swell, not surprising when you see the place. Ata Jata is the only visitor anchored there... in 2m of water. The weather forecast announces quite serious swell for the next day which means we could be trapped in here for some time.&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SLAugxac2DI/AAAAAAAAAJc/MpsUhMaNf8c/s1600-h/Sao+Martinho+do+Porto.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SLAugxac2DI/AAAAAAAAAJc/MpsUhMaNf8c/s320/Sao+Martinho+do+Porto.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237737507186858034" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next day by midday we get off.  Small waves are breaking on both sides of the entrance but we sail through it without problems. We’ll hear that the entrance has been closed only couple of hours later. Wind is NW force 2-3 but we know it will freshen  up to force 5 in the afternoon and especially i between the capes Cabo da Roca and Cabo Raso. The waves will also become bigger and bigger up to 3.5-4.5 meters in the night. Approaching Cascais was a bit confusing, among weak lighthouses, lights of anchored huge cargo boats (waiting for a pilot to sail on the Tage up to Lisboa?) and all the lights of the city, hard to say where the mooring zone is. Coming closer, things are getting clearer and we drop the anchor east of the very posh marina around 3:00am. The wind is now blowing hard and there are nice waves breaking on the shore. Will the anchor stay in place? Three days later and with gusts more than 35 knots, it’s safe to say the anchor is holding good, maybe even to good…&lt;br /&gt;Thursday morning we saw the Greenpeace ice breaker Artic Sunrise passing by on her way to Lisboa. &lt;br /&gt;Our next sailing (well, if we manage to get the anchor out of the rocks) will make us pass the 1.000 miles threshold, since we left Pontrieux in Brittany. We’ll have to celebrate!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-5602392709595001568?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/5602392709595001568/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=5602392709595001568' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/5602392709595001568'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/5602392709595001568'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2008/08/sao-martinho-do-porto-to-cascais.html' title='Sao Martinho do Porto to Cascais'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SLAugxac2DI/AAAAAAAAAJc/MpsUhMaNf8c/s72-c/Sao+Martinho+do+Porto.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-4915037030248383695</id><published>2008-08-16T18:30:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2008-08-16T18:36:03.924+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Nazaré</title><content type='html'>Nous quittons enfin Leixoés le 14 août vers midi et demi direction Nazaré, il y a beaucoup moins de vent que la veille (force 3) et plutôt Ouest –Nord Ouest, il fait beau et la houle a beaucoup diminué. Jusqu’à la fin d’après-midi nous avançons raisonnablement autour de 4 nœuds de moyenne, on voit passer Aveiro. Puis arrivés près du Cabo Mondego (avant Figueira da Foz), le vent va tomber complètement et le peu d’air qui subsiste va même tourner SE.  En fait, on va rester devant ce cap toute la nuit et une partie de la matinée à faire du sur place, il y a tellement pas de vent que la moindre vague un peu plus grosse nous fait faire un tour sur nous-mêmes (personnellement j’en ai fait 5 !). Le régulateur d’allure ne marche pas, on s’obstine à barrer mais ça ne sert à rien. Les voiles battent, ça tangue, ça use ! Ludo affale les voiles pour dormir, puis les remet, on pense même à allumer le feu de mouillage pour faire savoir aux quelques bateaux de pêche dans les parages qu’on est planté. On a fait 35 milles, on éteint le GPS, c’est trop déprimant ! Heureusement pour nous distraire il y a une concentration hallucinante de noctiluques et chaque mouvement dans l’eau crée une explosion d’arabesques phosphorescentes. Le lendemain le vent va timidement se lever en début d’après-m toujours un petit 3, on se dit qu’à ce rythme on ne sera pas à Nazaré avant le milieu de la nuit.&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SKcBhVc4-tI/AAAAAAAAAJU/WfXx9wG273c/s1600-h/Nazar%C3%A9+(2).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SKcBhVc4-tI/AAAAAAAAAJU/WfXx9wG273c/s320/Nazar%C3%A9+(2).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5235154764047121106" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Alors Ludo va faire des expériences avec les voiles, il va transformer Ata Jata en cotre en ajoutant un foc à l’avant en plus du Génois. Et ca marche : on atteint le 5 nœuds de moyenne. On arrivera à Nazaré tout de même vers 22h, la petite marina dans un coin du port à l’air bondée. Il nous a fallu 34h pour faire 97 milles (hum…). On est bien nazes ! On va passer la nuit à couple d’un bateau de pêche dans le bassin voisin et aller au ponton seulement le lendemain.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-4915037030248383695?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/4915037030248383695/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=4915037030248383695' title='2 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/4915037030248383695'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/4915037030248383695'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2008/08/nazar_16.html' title='Nazaré'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SKcBhVc4-tI/AAAAAAAAAJU/WfXx9wG273c/s72-c/Nazar%C3%A9+(2).JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-8554070717282283188</id><published>2008-08-16T18:19:00.006+02:00</published><updated>2008-08-23T17:34:07.584+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Nazaré</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SKcAg5v0FPI/AAAAAAAAAJM/56HyHQIB_Kw/s1600-h/Nazar%C3%A9+(8).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SKcAg5v0FPI/AAAAAAAAAJM/56HyHQIB_Kw/s200/Nazar%C3%A9+(8).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5235153657098671346" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;At last, on August 14 around 12:30am, we left Leixoés for Nazaré. There’s less wind than the day before, it’s force 3 W-NW. The weather is delightful and the swell has decreased considerably. Till the end of the afternoon we will run at a reasonable 4 knots on average, we pass by Aveiro. Then when we arrive near Cabo Mondego (before Figueira da Foz) the wind falls down completely and the light air that remains will even veer SE. In fact we’ll stay on the spot all night and a big part of the next morning right in front of this damn cape. The wind is so weak that sometimes a bigger wave than others make us do a 360° turn (personally I made 5 turns!). The wind pilot is of course out of the game, we persist pathetically at steering but it’s useless. The sails are beating, the boat is rolling, and it’s exhausting! Ludo brings the sails down and goes to sleep, then up again, we even think of putting the mooring light on to let the fishermen around us know that we are stuck! We have covered only 35miles; we turn off the GPS it’s too depressing. Happily for our pleasure there’s an amazing concentration of fluorescent plankton all around us, each move in the water creates an explosion of fluo green arabesques. The next day the wind waits until the beginning of the afternoon to start blowing and again force 3; we calculate that at this speed we’ll be in Nazaré in the middle of the night. Unacceptable!  Ludo decides to make experiments with the sails and will finally change Ata Jata from a sloop to a cutter by adding a jib to the Genoa. And it’s working: we reach 5 knots. Anyway, we’ll arrive in Nazaré after dark, around 10pm; the little marina in a corner of the fishing harbor seems packed. It took us 34 hours to sail 97 miles (hmmm...)! We are fried! We’ll spend the night docked side to side to a fishing boat and we’ll go to the pontoon only the next day.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-8554070717282283188?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/8554070717282283188/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=8554070717282283188' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/8554070717282283188'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/8554070717282283188'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2008/08/nazar.html' title='Nazaré'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SKcAg5v0FPI/AAAAAAAAAJM/56HyHQIB_Kw/s72-c/Nazar%C3%A9+(8).JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-560339144890512075</id><published>2008-08-13T19:03:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2008-08-13T19:13:44.454+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Toujours à Leixoés / Stuck in Leixoes</title><content type='html'>Je n’écrirai plus « demain nous partons pour… » à chaque fois on ne part pas pour une raison ou une autre. &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SKMUgJvPPUI/AAAAAAAAAI8/em1ntdlMrok/s1600-h/Leixo%C3%A9s+(4).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SKMUgJvPPUI/AAAAAAAAAI8/em1ntdlMrok/s200/Leixo%C3%A9s+(4).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5234049734537067842" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Avant-hier nous ne sommes pas parti car le vent était S-O (donc dans le nez), faible et en plus il pleuvait; hier c’était totale pétole et aujourd’hui ce n’est pas tant à cause du vent, mais à cause d’une bonne grosse houle d’Ouest. Avec un bon 3-3,5m de vagues, j’ai eu quand même du mal à convaincre Ludo d’attendre encore un jour. Du coup, nous mettons ce temps à profit pour des menus travaux : lessive et surtout grattage de rouille et peinture sur l’étrave qui souffre un peu des coups donnés par l’ancre. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SKMUz0grtpI/AAAAAAAAAJE/nt5z-As8Qx0/s1600-h/Leixo%C3%A9s+(9).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SKMUz0grtpI/AAAAAAAAAJE/nt5z-As8Qx0/s200/Leixo%C3%A9s+(9).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5234050072436258450" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;I will never again write “tomorrow we’ll leave for…”, each time we delay our departure for whatever reason after that. Two days ago we stayed because the wind was S-W, weak and it was raining. Yesterday there was no wind at all. And today it’s not because of the wind but rather because of the big western swell. There are 3 to 3,5m waves but I still had difficulties to convince Ludo to wait here one more day. So we spend time fixing things, doing laundry, painting and re-opening the unwinnable war against rust. The bow has been a little damaged by the anchor.   &lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-560339144890512075?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/560339144890512075/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=560339144890512075' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/560339144890512075'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/560339144890512075'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2008/08/toujours-leixos-stuck-in-leixoes.html' title='Toujours à Leixoés / Stuck in Leixoes'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SKMUgJvPPUI/AAAAAAAAAI8/em1ntdlMrok/s72-c/Leixo%C3%A9s+(4).JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-6850093426835790315</id><published>2008-08-10T18:30:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2008-08-10T18:39:14.636+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Bayona-Leixoés-Porto</title><content type='html'>Pour le diner la veille du départ de Bayona nous avons testé notre nouveau dispositif pour faire du riz gluant thaï avec un cuit-vapeur en forme de fleur (acheté au marché de Camaret) dans la cocotte minute.

On est en vent arrière alors pour moi le roulis dû à une vilaine houle n’est pas très confortable. Notre bon vieux Navik, le régulateur ne marche pas super sur cette allure, il nous fait faire plein de zigzags et comme on a de la route à faire, Ludo préfère barrer toute la journée pour pouvoir faire du ciseau et arriver avant la nuit à Leixoés. On arrivera finalement vers 22h, après 65Milles parcourus à une moyenne de plus de 6 nœuds et surtout des pointes de vitesse incroyables dans les surfs. J’ai vu un 10,9 et Ludo jure avoir vu le GPS afficher 12,7 nœuds !  C’est une vitesse normale pour beaucoup de bateaux modernes mais pour Ata Jata c’est presque trois fois sa vitesse de croisière.  &lt;br /&gt;Il n’y a pas beaucoup de ports à l’entrée facile et possible par tous temps sur la côté ouest du Portugal, Leixoés est un de ceux-là, c’est un gros port de commerce situé juste à côté d’une raffinerie.  Il y entre des pétroliers et des porte-conteneurs et dans un coin il y a une petite marina où nous nous amarrons pour deux jours. Le temps de se reposer, de bricoler quelques trucs (dont le mouillage, on nous a averti que plus au sud les mouillages sont venteux) et de visiter Porto.  C’est pratique près du port il y a un arrêt de tram qui vous amène au centre historique de Porto en 20min.&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SJ8Y0xx3PkI/AAAAAAAAAIs/y-xhh8uzIug/s1600-h/Porto+(17).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SJ8Y0xx3PkI/AAAAAAAAAIs/y-xhh8uzIug/s200/Porto+(17).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232928587022548546" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;C’est vrai que c’est typique comme ville, maintenant classée, un peu défraichie et à l’abandon quand même, à part les quais du Rio Douro très touristiques.

It is for sure the start of a long series of good Thai meals!!&lt;br /&gt;It’s sunny when we leave Baiona at 10am, we will endure a good hour of wind force 0 and then the wind arrives all at the sudden and blows N force 4 then 5 all the day (and night). After 2 weeks against the wind this time it’s exactly behind us. The boat is also rolling because of an ugly swell that makes it very uncomfortable for me. Our old wind pilot (Navik) is helpful but steers the boat in zigzags. As we have a long way to go and we’d prefer to arrive before dark, Ludo will steer all day long trying to surf each wave to accelerate. Finally we’ll arrive at 10pm, after 65Miles, which makes a good average speed over 6 knots and our new speed records: I saw several times 10,9knots on the GPS and Ludo swear once he saw 12,7 !! For modern boats it’s a normal speed but for our old Ata Jata it’s almost three times her cruising speed.&lt;br /&gt;On the western coast of Portugal, there are not plenty of harbors you can enter easily and in any weather conditions, Leixoés is one of those. It’s a huge commercial harbor, right next to a big refinery. There are enormous oil tankers and container carriers coming in and out night and day. In a small corner there’s a  marina where we decide to stop for 2 days. We take some time to rest, to repair some broken things (compass and binoculars have learnt how to fly but not yet how to land safely!) and to work on our anchoring (we’ve been told in the south, anchoring places are very windy).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SJ8Vswf1fgI/AAAAAAAAAIc/TBgxcrod9Fk/s1600-h/Porto+(24).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SJ8Vswf1fgI/AAAAAAAAAIc/TBgxcrod9Fk/s200/Porto+(24).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232925150704664066" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday we went for a tour in Porto. It’s very easy from the marina; you take the tram for a 20min ride to the historical center. For sure it’s a very typical city, protected as world heritage now but it looks a little bit abandonned and dingy, except the very touristic banks of the Rio Douro. The tourists are almost all French, great! Let’s move to another place, we’ll leave for Nazaré tomorrow.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-2045498519912169297?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/2045498519912169297/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=2045498519912169297' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/2045498519912169297'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/2045498519912169297'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2008/08/baiona-to-lexos.html' title='Baiona to Lexoés'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SJ8VMtUfkpI/AAAAAAAAAIU/RK7voGDFXFg/s72-c/riz+gluant.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-3051753667317357784</id><published>2008-08-07T19:49:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2008-08-07T20:01:34.538+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cliquer pour agrandir / click to enlarge'/><title type='text'>Première partie du voyage / First part of the trip</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SJs1xpdqUYI/AAAAAAAAAIE/bkhWb2xjgY4/s1600-h/1%C3%A8re+partie+-+First+part.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SJs1xpdqUYI/AAAAAAAAAIE/bkhWb2xjgY4/s400/1%C3%A8re+partie+-+First+part.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231834519181087106" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-3051753667317357784?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/3051753667317357784/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=3051753667317357784' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/3051753667317357784'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/3051753667317357784'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2008/08/premire-partie-du-voyage-first-part-of.html' title='Première partie du voyage / First part of the trip'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SJs1xpdqUYI/AAAAAAAAAIE/bkhWb2xjgY4/s72-c/1%C3%A8re+partie+-+First+part.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-7477194207764578599</id><published>2008-08-07T19:33:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2008-08-07T19:48:43.933+02:00</updated><title type='text'>En route pour le Portugal / Let's go to Portugal</title><content type='html'>Ca fait maintenant deux jours que nous sommes à Bayona, une escale sympa. Le mouillage est juste à côté du port, en face de la vieille ville, pratique pour se balader et faire le ravitaillement. Depuis que nous sommes en Espagne nous avons toujours pu nous mettre à l'ancre, c'est quand même un bon esprit, en France ou en Grande Bretagne il aurait été difficile voir impossible d'éviter le ponton ou le mouillage payant. &lt;br /&gt;Demain matin nous partons pour le Portugal, 12h ou 24h de nav (Leixoes à côté de Porto ou Nazaret)on verra. Après on va essayer de descendre plus vite car les vents sont à partir de maintenant bien établis de Nord. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;It's been two days now that we are enjoying our stop in Baiona. The anchoring is very close to the marina and in front of the old city, very convenient for victualling and sightseing. Since we arrived in Spain, we always had the option to anchor, it's rather a good spirit here, in France or UK it would have been difficult even impossible to avoid going to the pontoon or pay for mooring.&lt;br /&gt;Tomorrow morning we leave for Portugal, 12 or 24 hours sailing (Leixoes near Porto or Nazaret), we'll see. After we'll try to go south faster, now North winds are well established and strong.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-7477194207764578599?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/7477194207764578599/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=7477194207764578599' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/7477194207764578599'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/7477194207764578599'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2008/08/en-route-pour-le-portugal-lets-go-to.html' title='En route pour le Portugal / Let&apos;s go to Portugal'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-5065706889982547174</id><published>2008-08-06T19:30:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2008-08-06T19:45:02.033+02:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;embed src="http://widget-48.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&amp;amp;il=1&amp;amp;channel=2954361355561266504&amp;amp;site=widget-48.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&amp;amp;at=un&amp;amp;id=2954361355561266504&amp;amp;map=1" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://widget-48.slide.com/p1/2954361355561266504/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

pour la première fois depuis que nous sommes en Espagne, la météo annonce du vent de N-NO sur notre zone, idéal pour descendre ! Pourtant on ne fera que 24milles avec un vent de force 4 pour arriver à la Ria voisine de Muros en début d’après-m. Le mouillage dans le port de Muros n’est pas très accueillant, venteux et pas très bien situé ; on décide d’aller mouiller dans l’anse de Bornalle pas très loin. Pour y aller, il faut traverser un parc de rangs serrés de viveros , ces espèces de viviers flottants délabrés, parfois surmontés d’une cabane. Bornalle est beaucoup plus calme, mouillage juste devant la plage encore préservée de construction trop moches et bordée de pins et d’eucalyptus.&lt;br /&gt;Le lendemain : on a assez trainé, il faut tracer. Départ à 8h30, pétole et roulis jusqu’à midi, heure à laquelle le vent de N-NE se lève et s’établit force 5, nickel on avance à plus de 6 nœuds de moyenne. On passe devant les rias d’Arosa, Pontevedra et devant l’ile Ons. On arrive un peu avant 17h au mouillage le plus fréquenté des îles Cies, la Playa Arena das Rosas de l’île de Faro [soit 40Milles]. Les jolies trois îles Cies font partie du parc naturel des îles atlantiques de Galice, il y a peu d’habitants, pas de voitures, pratiquement pas d’infrastructures touristiques (à part un camping basic) et de nombreuses zones de l’île sont interdites et réservées à la vie sauvage. L’île sud Saint Martin est théoriquement interdite de débarquement. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SJnY0KCmoGI/AAAAAAAAAH0/E_0iVHnDclM/s1600-h/Ã®les+Cies+(43).JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231450832727613538" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SJnY0KCmoGI/AAAAAAAAAH0/E_0iVHnDclM/s200/%C3%AEles+Cies+(43).JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;L’Isla del Norde et l’Isla de Faro sont reliées par un isthme de sable et une petite digue en béton parallèle qui est envahie en fin de journée par les amateurs de couchers de soleil. Sur le point culminant de l’île, là où est installé le phare on a un super point de vue (voir diaporama). Nous passons une nuit sur place et le lendemain quand le vent se lève en début d’après-midi nous partons pour Bayona, notre plus courte nav : 8 Milles. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Cette ville touristique a gagné sa place dans l’histoire pour avoir été le port où accosta Christophe Colomb après son retour d’Amérique. La réplique de sa caravelle, « La Pinta » trône en permanence dans le port, elle me semble vraiment petite pour avoir effectué un tel voyage et dans les conditions de l’époque. Je crois qu’on va, pour une fois, aller se mêler à la masse des touristes pour aller visiter ce bateau qui a contribué à infléchir l’histoire de manière dramatique. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-8245345512509211746?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/8245345512509211746/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=8245345512509211746' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/8245345512509211746'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/8245345512509211746'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2008/08/finisterre-bayona-enfin-on-avance.html' title='Finisterre- Bayona : enfin on avance !'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SJnX6cVAN9I/AAAAAAAAAHk/1ljSqsRqhvw/s72-c/Muros+Enselada+de+Bornalle.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-6851888342409128251</id><published>2008-08-06T18:41:00.009+02:00</published><updated>2008-08-07T19:57:09.021+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Finisterre to Baiona: at last we’re moving forward!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SJnW2Var0MI/AAAAAAAAAHc/Rr1aQ_HQF-U/s1600-h/Muros+(3).JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231448671117889730" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SJnW2Var0MI/AAAAAAAAAHc/Rr1aQ_HQF-U/s200/Muros+(3).JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;On August 1rst, around 11am, we left the friendly little town of Finisterre, full of tourists and freaks from everywhere come for the Santiago de Compostela trek. For the first time since we arrived in Spain, the weather oracles promise N-NW wind in the area, just what we need to go south! Nevertheless, we’ll be lazy again and sail only 24miles with a wind force 4, to the next ria of Muros where we arrive in the beginning of the afternoon. The mooring zone in the harbor of Muros is windy, shaky and not very well located, we decide to go to the nearby Bornalle bay. On the way we have to go through a large park of dozen of viveros (sort of afloat crumbling fishponds). Bornalle is much quieter, we drop the anchor less than 100m from the beach, still exempt from ugly buildings and lined with pines and eucalyptus forest.&lt;br /&gt;The next day: enough rest, we have to move forward! At 8:30am we set sail, there’s no air and we suffer an uncomfortable swell till midday when the wind decides to start blowing N-NE and settles at force 5. Perfect! We are going at more than 6 knots on average. We pass by the rias of Arosa and Pontevedra and the Ons Island. We arrive by 5pm at the busiest anchoring place of the Cies Islands, the Playa Arena das Rosas of the Faro Island. We’ve sailed 40Miles today, not bad...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;The beautiful three Cies Island belongs to the Atlantic Island natural park of Galicia; there are only few inhabitants, no cars and almost no touristic infrastructure except a basic campsite. The major part of the island is restricted area, reserved for wildlife (essentially sea birds), the third and southern island, Isla de San Martin is closed to visitors. The Isla del Norde and the Isla de Faro are connected by a sand isthmus and a concrete dyke where sunsets lovers are gathering at the end of the day. &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SJnVQ84nwrI/AAAAAAAAAG8/Cu9-mOmra90/s1600-h/Ã®les+Cies+(58).JPG"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231446929365779122" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SJnVQ84nwrI/AAAAAAAAAG8/Cu9-mOmra90/s200/%C3%AEles+Cies+(58).JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;From the highest point of the island where the lighthouse is located you get a stunning panorama (see the slide show). We stay overnight and the next day we wait for the temperature to rise and make the wind blow, we leave for Bayona: our shortest sailing so far (8Miles). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;This touristic city has won its place in history for being the harbor where Columbus Christopher landed on his way back from newly discovered America. A replica of his caravel “The Pinta” is permanently showing off in the harbor. She seems really small for such a trip, with the 15th century conditions. I think that, for once, we’ll join the mass of tourists and pay a tour on this ship which contributed to change history so dramatically.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="right"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SJnVQ84nwrI/AAAAAAAAAG8/Cu9-mOmra90/s1600-h/Ã®les+Cies+(58).JPG"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-6851888342409128251?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/6851888342409128251/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=6851888342409128251' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/6851888342409128251'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/6851888342409128251'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2008/08/finisterre-to-baiona-at-last-were.html' title='Finisterre to Baiona: at last we’re moving forward!'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SJnW2Var0MI/AAAAAAAAAHc/Rr1aQ_HQF-U/s72-c/Muros+(3).JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-8801678501070612655</id><published>2008-08-02T20:44:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2008-08-02T20:49:32.108+02:00</updated><title type='text'>L’autre Finistère</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SJSrzHesPgI/AAAAAAAAAGs/p0mMvnqOOTU/s1600-h/cap+finisterre+%286%29.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SJSrzHesPgI/AAAAAAAAAGs/p0mMvnqOOTU/s200/cap+finisterre+%286%29.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229993961953443330" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Le 1&lt;sup&gt;er&lt;/sup&gt; août, départ de Camariñas à 8h30, le vent s’est calmé mais est toujours S-SO en plein dans le nez. Normalement l’été en Galice, les vents dominants sont de N-NE : on n’a vraiment pas de bol, on a fait que du près depuis qu’on a franchi le Golfe de Gascogne.  Notre objectif c’est la Ria de Muros, après le cap Finisterre soit 42M en ligne droite, mais il va falloir tirer des bords. La météo annonce du vent même jusqu’à force 6 au moins on avancera ! Tu parles, force 3 ouais et avec de la houle, ca use ! C’est interminable en plus on choisit de passer large pour éviter tous les dangers de la côte, on va finalement opter pour un arrêt à Finisterre, le petit port de pêche derrière le cap, on a déjà parcouru une quarantaine de milles (avec l’aide du moteur sur la fin car en plus le vent s’est cassé la gueule) et il est déjà 22h et il bruine…  Enfin c’est déjà un autre cap de passé !   &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%; text-align: justify;"&gt;Parenthèse géographique, en fait le cap Finisterre n’est pas le point le plus à l’ouest de l’Espagne, c’est le cap Toriñana juste avant.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-8801678501070612655?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/8801678501070612655/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=8801678501070612655' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/8801678501070612655'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/8801678501070612655'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2008/08/lautre-finistre.html' title='L’autre Finistère'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SJSrzHesPgI/AAAAAAAAAGs/p0mMvnqOOTU/s72-c/cap+finisterre+%286%29.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568361426062587822.post-2801884720078615276</id><published>2008-08-02T20:39:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2008-08-02T20:50:05.067+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Finisterre Cape:</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SJSqqet0g_I/AAAAAAAAAGk/nMy57NGYCtQ/s1600-h/port+finisterre+%282%29.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SJSqqet0g_I/AAAAAAAAAGk/nMy57NGYCtQ/s200/port+finisterre+%282%29.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229992714060465138" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span lang="en-US"&gt;The first of August we left Camariñas at 8:30am, the wind has weakened but it’s again S-SW, still head wind. Usually in summer in Galicia, winds are N-NE: it’s really bad luck, we’ve been sailing against the wind since we passed Biscay. Our objective of the day is the Ria of Muros after the Finisterre Cape, exactly 42M on the chart, but we will have to tack again. The weather forecast says there will be wild till force 6; at least we’ll have some air! You bet! It’s been maximum force 3 and with a big swell, it’s really exhausting.  It’s becoming endless, also because we chose to stay far from the shore to parry all the dangers. Finally we decide to stop at Finisterre, the small fishing harbor behind the cape, we have already covered about 40M (with the motor at the end because the wind has weakened again), it’s already 10pm and it’s drizzling… At least it’s another cape we’ve passed! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%; font-style: italic;"&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span lang="en-US"&gt;Geographical note: in really the Finisterre Cape is not the westerner point of Spain, it’s the Toriñana Cape just few miles up north of it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%; font-style: italic;"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568361426062587822-2801884720078615276?l=atajata.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/feeds/2801884720078615276/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6568361426062587822&amp;postID=2801884720078615276' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/2801884720078615276'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568361426062587822/posts/default/2801884720078615276'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://atajata.blogspot.com/2008/08/finisterre-cape.html' title='Finisterre Cape:'/><author><name>Laetitia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06375284589759440013</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SAnzSyGVrJI/AAAAAAAAABk/LlVcqr3zbxw/S220/cap+de+la+chevre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_A7AQz7mgYZA/SJSqqet0g_I/AAAAAAAAAGk/nMy57NGYCtQ/s72-c/port+finisterre+%282%29.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
