Dealing with bad weather while at anchor can be terrifying. It’s extremely loud with the wind howling through the rigging, the boat violently heels back and forth, making it difficult to do anything, and the worst case scenario is always in the back of our mind.
Now, if you want sunshine and calm water, pleasant day sails and a large variety of anchorages to choose form, you’re going to need to sail in the summer in the mediterranean. Sailing in the fall is a very different story. It feels a bit like playing a game of Chess, with your opponents pieces being massive low pressure systems, sudden thunderstorms, and huge swell that seems to magically wrap into every anchorage.
To safely cruise at this time of year we are constantly checking the forecast for a break in the weather so we can run to our next destination. But perfect anchorages with 360 degree protection are extremely rare, so we need to choose our anchorages wisely. We need to take into consideration the huge wind shifts and massive swell, as well as what could happen if the forecasts are wrong.
There are a thousand variables to consider and we’re always thinking three moves ahead. But the pay-off for all of this trouble is that we get to experience one of the most renown cruising grounds on the planet basically all to ourselves. But the real question is, how much longer can we keep this up?
