The other face of the passage
04 September 2009 | Portovénere
The day we walked across, it was blowing a strong south-westerly on the Ligurian Sea; the forecast was a F9, and we reckoned that at lunchtime it was blowing at least a F7 off the point.
It turned the narrow passage into a nasty surfing cauldron. If you run for here, seeking shelter in such weather, go round all the islands and come in that way.
