Giorno 269 - L’arrivo a Madeira Pensavate tutti che saremmo andati a Gibilterra. In effetti, lo pensavamo anche noi 😅 Poi studiando l’evolversi del meteo abbiamo visto che si formerà a breve un vento forte che soffia da nord chiamato Aliseo portoghese. Sono previste raffiche anche a 50 nodi con 5 metri di onde al traverso. Non avendo nessuna fretta, abbiamo preso l’unica decisione possibile: deviare su Madeira e attendere che il soffio di questo aliseo si esaurisca. Inoltre oggi pomeriggio abbiamo sperimentato un assaggio di quello che sarebbe stato attraversare quel tratto di mare con condizioni stressanti per noi ma soprattutto per la barca m e siamo stati felici di aver scelto per la sicurezza. Già 30 nodi con 2/2,5m di onda al traverso non sono una passeggiata, non immagino il doppio. L’arrivo invece è stato tranquillo, perché una volta agganciata l’isola siamo stati al riparo dal vento e dalle onde. La vera sfida è stata arrivare alle 3 svegli e operativi 😂 Comunque tutto è bene quel che finisce bene. Abbiamo trascorso una squisita settimana. Tra pesca ricca come non mai (una mattina abbiamo ributtato ben 4 tonnetti in mare), veleggiate sia tranquille sia sportive, ottima compagnia, buon bilanciamento tra serietà e ironia, siamo più che soddisfatti del viaggio. Domani, compatibilmente al lavoro, visiteremo l’isola tutti insieme. Chi è già stato a Madeira? Piaciuta? A domani! 😄 C.

I couldn't believe how well it sailed. You could have some serious fun with this, especially in big breeze." -------------------------- ** The Tiwal story ** * The Birth of Tiwal * As a girl, the first time our founder Marion Excoffon was told, “No!” by her father when she asked to use the family boat, her life as an inventor began. It was then she started dreaming of building her own craft, an ambitious feat that would come true years later. On the road to creating an innovative high-speed vessel for everyone from kids and first timers to expert sailors who want to test limits, there were a number of prototypes, failures, challenges and headaches. But, if there’s one thing Marion’s known for, it’s her sailor’s grit! * Combining Fun & Technology * The award winning Tiwal concept is easy assembly and storage - maximum fun and performance for watersports and activities. A Tiwal isn’t your average dinghy! Our design is the result of tons of coordination, talent, and technological savvy. * A Growing Global Community * For our community of Tiwal skippers (more than 2,500 worldwide!) all this innovative design means their focus is fixed on the pleasures of watersports and having tons of fun on a responsive sailing craft. With excellent upwind and downwind abilities combined with high-speeds, Tiwals are a part of both fun and professional performance. The Tiwal 3 received the Boat of the Year (Best innovation) Award 2014 from Sailing World in the USA and the Red Dot Award, with recognitions, accolades, and smiling faces continuing to join together on the waves worldwide.
