TO SAIL IN MAJORCA

Without doubt one of the most beautiful destinies of all the Mediterranean Sea. Its variety of landscapes and coasts is much more important that its sun fame and beaches that as much they attract the tourists.

Sometimes the transparency of their waters and their turkish tonalities makes think us about seas of the Caribbean one. In some zones of its coast and especially in the northwest, always some cove exists to discover. And it is not strange dice the escarped thing of his cliffs that do impossible to arrive by highway at many corners and calitas. An authentic paradise to cross handspan to handspan with the aid or a small boat and to enjoy its capricious natural forms.  

The cliffs occupy an important part of all the coast allowing almost always navigation to little distance of her. The coves constitute in many authentic cases natural harbors that they finish in white sand borders bordered by forests of pines. In his more than 550 kilometers of coast, Majorca offers beaches for all the tastes, some very concurred and protected and gathered others.

The kindness of the climate and its abundant supply of navy, ports and places of anchorage make of this small continent a unique place in the world to enjoy the recreation navigation.

Naturally we must like good sailors, being cautious and to consider that although meteorology is very stable and calm during the summer, the climate can change very quickly making for example of the tramontana coast a dangerous place because many miles of coast without refuge possibility exist.

We will have almost always to use channel 9 of the VHF one to contact with clubs nautical and the 16 for the communications with the coastal station. 

The most important wind of the island is the tramontana of the NW with which we will be able you enjoy authentic moments for pleasing in navigation to candle, as long as it does not surprise since it can appear to us suddenly, reaching the weather force sometimes. During the months of summer he is more interesting to cross the island in sense in opposition to the needles of the clock, because we will have the possibility of taking advantage of better its winds. 

In order to know the island well its navigation can take to us to 2 weeks doing some shutdown to cross its beautiful interior. It is a good idea to leave the boat someday in safe port and to rent a car to cross his different landscapes and variable corners from his interior.

The effect of the tides is almost despicable reason why we do not have to worry about them and the currents are little safe at certain times and ends like the one of Formentor, or sailing between small barren islands that can accelerate and canalize these.
