Ce que couvre cette vidéo
A charter sailing day off the Mediterranean islands of Cavallo and Lavezzi, in the Strait of Bonifacio, runs in early August. Gusts of 35–38 knots force a full cancellation the first morning, keeping the boat in port; by 19:00 the maestrale drops enough to confirm departure the following day.0:17 The crew preps the boat at 07:00, and clients arrive thirty minutes later.1:10 The itinerary takes the group first to Isola di Cavallo, where the tender ferries clients ashore for swimming — heavy August traffic makes the approach slow.4:44 The group then moves to Isola di Lavezzi, noted for its distinctive granite rock formations and crystal-clear water, though the anchorage is crowded with boats typical of peak season.5:52 Lunch is prepared aboard mid-passage. The outing includes two clients and their dog.7:03 The episode illustrates how a charter skipper monitors a maestrale forecast, holds in port when gusts exceed safe limits, and reschedules within 24 hours once conditions ease.
