The weather looked good to attempt the crossing to France on Wednesday … we were trying to avoid the tail of the previous mistral onslaught which had been battering most of the south of France and the predicted force 7 which was coming our way on the occidental coast of Corsica. We got stuck for 3 days on l’ile Rousse (north of Calvi), waiting for the storm to pass, the forecasted winds started earlier than expected.
