The Bonifacio strait and the Costa Smeralda of Sardegna, namely the summer capitals of the Mediterranean: Porto Cervo and Porto Rotondo; are the places of the super yachts of Hollywood star and fashion design kind. Even if you’re are not a Hollywood star or a very rich person, you can still have a lot of fun with a small renting sailing boat, and discover incredible shelters, amazing beaches and blue waters. But, like every famous expanse of water, the Bonifacio Strait and the Corsican Sea provide both, stunning natural beauty and a remarkable amount of difficulties: these come in the shape of a northwesterly wind called Mistral, which may flow in every month of the year with fierceness carrying along high seas raised all the way back in the Lion’s Gulf. When it is funneled between Corsica and Sardinia and plays with the currents of the strait, a certain amount of fun and fear must be expected! After a wonderful day at beach in Cala Coticcio and Cala Napoletana, amazing places with their rock and color show, we sailed to Santa Teresa de Galura. We had in mind to spend the night there and sail in the next morning to Bonifacio, in Corsica, France. But the wind had transformed our afternoon in an unforgettable sea adventure. With our brains and stomachs all mix up we arrived to our destiny. For the same reason – the wind – anchoring at the Port of Santa Teresa was impossible since it was completely full. In the sea (again!) we had been lucky to find a mooring in the cove of Cala Portese just after the cape of Santa Teresa de Galura where we spent the night. Our skipper didn’t sleep all time because the sea was not safe. But in the morning, the strong Mistral wind was gone, the sun was shinning again and we carry on our journey in the wonders of the Mediterranean Sea.
