THE CREW

Elsi Isa Mara Viviana with the sailors Fortunate Armando Bepi and Michael.

The magic, the magic of every departure…

Also Sunday 12 August the moment of the I detach from the bench you/he/she has filled me with emotion. Viviana
In the harbor of Cove Jail the wind felt him make to beat the yards of the moored boats, there was a lot of ferment because the forecasts gave strong wind and the owners of the motor boats they didn't know whether to do.
Us velisti, cannot wait contrarily to take the breadth, the only doubt remained the crew, not yet ready to face the wind.
At the end, however we decide to set sail, and just gone out of the calm of the I bring the wind it pushes us toward our destination: the island of Giannutri. The boat slips fast, it is not one of those been accustomed to from charter: it is a lot of boliniera and it holds very well the 25 knots of wind, enough lascare slightly the spanker and to withdraw the bow and the crew can be calm without being too tilted on the water.
Toward Giannutri however the wind strengthens and we put the safety belts to be able to maneuver in all calm there.
Then we arrive in a deep inlet of the island, where other boats are anchored and there we make our first bath and we wait for the evening…
It is the night of S. Lorenzo and in the most total dark in the bay we enjoy there the unforgettable show of the falling stars.
Later The morning lifts there of good time to enjoy us the show of the sun that little by little it illuminates the sea and alarm clock the nature of the almost uninhabited island and therefore still intact.
Island in Elba in sight The whole day is devoted to the transfer toward the island in Elba, which welcomes us with a gusts wind toward the extreme west head very strong that puts ferment among the crew and he/she forces us to decide to spend instead the night to Field in the Elba that to Marciana Marina, too sopravento. During the crossing a sighting of dolphins excites us all, even if unfortunately they are not in vein to play with us as other times in past, and they immediately get further toward the breadth.
The day later we go to make restocking of water and galley to I Bring Blue and then we set sail toward Goatherd.
We sail the whole afternoon and we engage some "challenges" with other boats, winning her all and feeling us very "Red Moon."
The evening we throw he/she anchors him in the baietta in front of the I bring of Goatherd and we decide to go down to earth for a good frying of fish. But we have not made the accounts with our motor of the tender: part of us is jammed to earth, while the other half decides not to risk because there is something that doesn't work and in more you/he/she has gotten up some wind that could push offshore in the dark the light raft.
To this point us you rhymed to earth, moreover without a lira, we are forced to do "hitchhiking" and finally a small famigliola has pity of us and accompanies us to our boat.
Later the day is decided to go down all to earth mooring on the dock of the ferries and finally You disembarks to the island of Goatherd let's grant us the as craved frying! The island is very beautiful and the paesino castled on the hill and dominated from a castle it makes me forget (but only for a moment!) what we are "stealing some precious time to the navigation."
In the afternoon we take back our adventure and we direct the bow to Corsica that, gives the tersità of the sky, we can perceive in distance.
Raced head and the island of the Giraglia are for every velista a test of cleverness: when the wind throws strong, that is it almost always needs, really to hold the situation and you/he/she cannot be left anything to the case.
But us, as always fortunate, we find a calm breeze that pushes us toward u North n'isoletta of the I bring of Macinaggio, that forms a proper shelter for to spend the night together with the coast. After a refreshing bath in the waters "French" we enjoy there the sun that goes down behind the mountains of Corsica surmounted by shovels for the energy eolica. The different plans of the horizon, from the nearest beach, to the cultivated hills and finally to the mountains with that light that starts to diminish pardon their concreteness to pass few to few to the fable, to the irreality.
The morning is already later time to undertake the trip toward the return. The first one covers it is again the island in Elba, where we stop there in a baietta to have lunch and to grant us the last bath. Then we take on board the child of one of our companions of edge that was on vacation there and we brings him/it to sail toward I Bring Blacksmith, where we have to make fuel.
We spend the night to the anchor and the 4 in the morning my companion and I, that it is the skipper, we set sail and we make rout toward the Park of the Uccellina.
The evening before we had everybody together studied the various coordinates and prepared the rout by to follow in the nighttime navigation. For me you/he/she has been the first time, I was very excited and I had also prepared with a lot of care the clothing to wear: sweater, waxed, husk frontal… even if then the dawn has arrived very soon!
It is very suggestive to depart in the deep dark however, to see the lights of the other boats in distance and to try to understand their rout and their speed. We was alone in the night, the sea and we.
At 10 o'clock we have reached the Park of the Uccellina, we have thrown he/she anchors him and we have remained to enjoy us the last sun.
The afternoon, as announced by the forecasts, you/he/she has gotten up the west south sirocco and us we have sailed toward the Argentario, with the reduced bow and a hand of you reef, because the boat also so it slipped away fast.
We have returned to Cove Jail, the point of departure of our trip, and we already dreamt the turn of Sardinia programmed for next year.
