Sail to the uninhabited island of Staffa in the Inner Hebrides, near Iona, and walk into the fascinating Fingal’s Cave. This crazy rock formation looms 227 ft (69 metres) tall over the ocean and is a geometric sea cave that looks like it's been crafted by human hand rather than at of mother nature. It has been formed completely from hexagonal columns of basalt, shaped in neat six-sided pillars that make up its interior walls. Fingal’s Cave was created some 60 million years ago by the very same ancient lava flow that created the Giant’s Causeway in Ireland, which is directly across the sea. As both are made of the same basalt columns, legend holds that they were the end pieces of a huge road built by the Irish giant Fionn mac Cumhaill, so he could make it to Scotland where he was to duel with Fingal, his gigantic rival. The naturally formed arched roof creates an echo chamber the amplifies the sound of the ocean waves smashing against the rock in a melodic way. These ocean harmonies are often likened to the sounds heard resonating throughout a cathedral. It must be observed (and heard!) in-person to appreciate the uniqueness of this experience! Staffa is home to one of the Hebrides largest puffin colonies, who congregate on the cliffs and spend their days diving into the water then return with a beak full of fish. The best time to see the puffins is during the breeding season between the start of May and start of August when the birds have their distinctive colourful beaks.Other seabirds that either nest or feed from the island include gannets, guillemots, razorbills, great northern divers, fulmars and great skuas.

Nella navigazione tra Molfetta e Vieste mancavano solo i mostri marini; tra mare e venti incrociati, correnti marine, mare formato e sempre contro il muso, venti a 20/25 Nodi, abbiamo trovato di tutto. Alla fine la ciliegina non poteva mancare ... a circa 6/7 miglia da Vieste, quando ci pregustavamo già le "Paposce", il motore si è bloccato, come già successo prima di entrare a Monopoli. Avvisati Pier e la Susanna, che ci aspettavano con ansia in Lega Navale, siamo entrati nel porto di Vieste alle 8 di sera, con la vela e dopo una infinità di bordi e preghiere che andasse tutto bene. Ancora una volta Pier e la Susanna sono stati gentilissimi, ci hanno aspettato, aiutato ad ormeggiare e ospitato nella loro meravigliosa barca con le gustose "Paposce" belle calde... grazie ancora. Cosa è successo al motore lo vedrete nei Post. Vieste 11/08/23.
