Llançà Argilera. Claude, a Frenchman very nice picture makes us the game ...



The weather will be with us today and we will one day very calm. One of those days where it seems incredible that in the area are mounted shows waves that accompany the picture of Cap de Creus.
The goal today will be to Jòncols Creek, once the village of Cadaqués. We barely six hours to reach our goal. Slightly more than 30 km. You have to hurry a little. As we left, we captured some iconic photos Llançà ...

Once expired, Paradita in Cala Player to stretch your legs and keep moving! We have a good trip and we run out of time. Still, we can not avoid the entrance to the cova de l'Infern, which these days is occupied by a dense gelatinous jellyfish soup ...



cova The output is always a pretty picture postcard ...



And the sea is like a huge raft of oil ...



From here, at great pace towards Cadaqués. We foresee a huge jump just tuna meters from us. Soon we planted at the entrance to the bay of Cadaques and enjoy the beauty of the place:)

Costa Brava! Around the Sea! Forecasts meteorológicas ...

are near the beginning of the adventure. These days prior
touch finalize arrangements.
clothing, food, safety features, navigation, electronic gadgets, the occasional book, the chess board, hair spray, hair gel, a club of fifty kilos, washer, dryer.
Some of these little things are certainly expensive to get into the boat:) Peeeeeeeeeeeero! In the end, everything ends with a achuchoncillo coming:) I'm already imagining Olivier partner's face when you need to help move the boat loaded with 350 kilos of material from one place to another:) lol! Joking aside

! It is also a time to keep an eye on weather forecasts to 6 or 7 days ahead. In this sense I like to watch what he says the AEMET has very nice graphics! :) And the estimates it gives are not usually harmful .... ;) Such forecasts will serve exclusively for the "trend" of what we will find during the day. Every day before going out to sea, it must examine in detail the latest weather forecasts.

Before proceeding to detail should make a short comment to weather patterns that we find in the Costa Brava.

La Costa Brava is affected by the backlash of the Azores anticyclone. Be divided into two distinct sectors.
The first sector, identified by the section Portbou - Begur. Here we find prevailing winds from the north-northwest, the famous north wind, which shook us a few days ago with some nice winds of Beaufort Force 9 and 10:) Somewhere I had heard that the north wind blows in this area about 265 days a year to a greater or lesser extent, but can not remember now the source where to find this information ...
The second category identified by the section Begur - Blanes. Here the prevailing winds tend to be south-southwest. This little wind is the sea of \u200b\u200b"nice" especially when it makes the trip from north to south. It gives you a little wind in the head constantly and I often said softly in his ear: "But man! Where you expect! I think I'll let you move like that??? Not a chance! " :)

Now! When you mess up the worst breaks loose in these lands is when the forecasts point to the east winds from the east-southeast for us to understand. In these situations, the best is out of the sea and shelter in any cove is exposed to the effects of the Built ...

That said, for details, consult a meteorologist you cultivate the art of the high and low pressures and hassles that involve a mixture of both ... :)

We will look at the forecast to 5 or 6 days at five points along the coast: Llançà, Cadaqués, Begur, Blanes and Sant Feliu.











also added an explanatory chart scale Beaufort classified into 12 degrees, wind force:



Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuueno! :) Briefly reviewed these data we can not a few conclusions: First

! On Monday we will laugh a good time! lol! Second
! Overcast skies accompanied us all the way north-south ... Third
! We will covered with a hood often! Otherwise we will have to stick to the mushrooms can grow our bright bald:)
Fourth! There will be a wind poquiiiiiiiiiiiiito! What fun !!!!! :)
Fifth! I begin to think that Monday will stay ground taking beers:) (No way! To Water!)
Sixth! How nice is to sail in November on the Costa Brava! (And a cuernoooo!! Have to be stupid to do it ...) Anyway ...

You see ... not fit in me the joy I feel:) lol! I hope your comments
weather picture presented here! :)
What do you say??

Apa! Tomorrow afternoon or Saturday morning ... empezaaaaaaaamos! :)

A hug to everyone! :)
