Sono pastori nomadi che si spostano&amp;nbsp;in tutto il Sahel, la fascia geografica subito sotto il Sahara,&amp;nbsp;sempre alla ricerca di buoni pascoli per le proprie mandrie. Poche volte l'anno sono costretti ad attraversare il Niger proprio per trovare territori più fertili ed erbosi per le mucche.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;I Peul spingono gli animali, impauriti dall'acqua, da una riva all'altra, seguendoli per evitarne l'annegamento. Purtroppo una non ce l'ha fatta.&lt;br /&gt; Atmosfera incredibile ed emozionante quando mi sono trovato davanti a questo vero e proprio spettacolo. Soprattutto se vissuto dal kayak...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="hps"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;While&amp;nbsp;reorganizing&amp;nbsp;photos and videos made during the trip to Mali...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span class="hps"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;

Navigo pensando tutti gli incontri fatti in questi giorni. Tanti momenti difficili ma anche tanti sorrisi pieni di amicizia e sincerità. Arrivati al villaggio di Salif grande festa d'accoglienza. Ma subito dopo cena prendo una pinasse pubblica che arriva a Mopti domani. Non ho il tempo di smontare il kayak, lo farò a Mopti. Il nord del Mali è vietato agli&amp;nbsp;stranieri e devo rientrare subito. Da qui in poi si entra nel distretto di Timbouctou, dopo quanto fatto dai terroristi non è proprio il caso di proseguire. Via fiume è più lento ma più sicuro. Alcuni militari al villaggio me lo confermano. Il viaggio in kayak termina qui. Adesso mi tocca il viaggio di ritorno, praticamente un'altra avventura... Ciao&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;SAT SMS ricevuto da Giacomo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2F1ftkDDMVA/TsLCioQvBYI/AAAAAAAAAM8/Y-R9d0TDS3g/s1600/13+giorno.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="189" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2F1ftkDDMVA/TsLCioQvBYI/AAAAAAAAAM8/Y-R9d0TDS3g/s320/13+giorno.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Niger River by  Kayak&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;13&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;°&amp;nbsp;day 30  /11/201&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Niafunke Maiga Dire  68  Km&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span class="hps"&gt;"Another&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="hps"&gt;exciting day,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="hps"&gt;the last&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="hps"&gt;of this wonderful&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="hps"&gt;adventure.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="hps"&gt;I paddle&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="hps"&gt; thinking&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="hps"&gt;to all the people I met during past days&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;span class="hps"&gt;Many difficult moments&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="hps"&gt;but also&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="hps"&gt;many smiles&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="hps"&gt;full of friendship&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="hps"&gt;sincerity.

Il rinforzo della chiglia si sta rivelando fonadamentale&amp;nbsp; negli atterraggi. Spesso il kayak carico viene trascinato dagli amici maliani&amp;nbsp; che vogliono aiutarmi. Oggi centinaia di vacche attraversano il fiume spinte dagli allevatori Peul. Mi rendo utile con il kayak spingendone alcune con la prua verso la riva. I Peul ringraziano sorridenti. Faccio il campo fuori dal villaggio caotico perchè oggi sono davvero stanco, domani conto di arrivare al villaggio di Salif ed organizzare il rientro via fiume.

Complice un meteo favorevole e approfittando di alcuni amici a Scopello decido di andare partendo da Mondello e tentare di pagaiare tutti i 60 km di costa del tragitto. Partenza di buon ora con Salvo che mi segue per il primo tratto. Pausa nella spiaggia di Cinisi-Magaggiari dove incontro altri amici kayaker, Saverio ed Eugenio. Quindi di nuovo in acqua per affrontare il Golfo di Castellammare. Nel pomeriggio, dopo 9 ore circa dalla partenza (di cui circa 8 di pagaiata) arrivo a Scopello dove incontro Enrico e Achille, anche loro in&amp;nbsp;in kayak. Tutto OK. I prossimi allenamenti saranno con il folding che utilizzerò per il viaggio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;A Perfect paddling day&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In training for the trip to Mali&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Before each trip isimportant to provide resistance training to prepare the trip. Accomplice to afavorable weather, and taking advantage of some friends in Scopello, I decideto paddle to Scopello starting from Mondello and attempt to paddle the entire60 km coastline of the journey. Departure early in the morning with Salvo thatfollowed me for the first leg. Break at the beach in Cinisi Magaggiari where Imeet other kayakers, Saverio and Eugenio. So back into the water to cross theGulf of Castellammare.

L'itinerario che vedete sulla mappa è, quindi, solo quello dell'ultima settimana, ma non dimenticate che Giacomo e Salvo sono partiti da Corinto e che, quindi,  fra qualche giorno completeranno il periplo del Penoponneso. Negli ultimi giorni hanno navigato fino a tarda sera e Giacomo non ha avuto il tempo di aggiornare il diario di bordo, ma seguendo la mappa vedrete che hanno fatto parecchia strada.

Un gruppo di pescatori sulla costa attira la nostra curiosita'. Siamo alla foce del fiume Alphios. Decidiamo di risalirlo per alcuni chilometri. Lo scenario e' bellissimo: piante acquatiche, canneti impenetrabili, uccelli di ogni tipo. Approfittiamo dell'acqua dolce per toglierci un po' di sale di dosso (eskimi compresi...).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;All'uscita del fiume ci aspetta un mare non piu' tranquillo, il solito maestrale si presenta. L'andatura subisce un forte rallentamento. Oggi pensavamo di uscire dal golfo ed invece siamo costretti a riparare a Katakolo, porticciolo ridossato subito prima della Punta. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:verdana;" &gt;02/07/2010 19° day Klidi - Katakolo 19 miles (35 km)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The paddling in the Gulf of Kyparisiskos continues. A group of fishermen on the coast attracts our curiosity. We are at the mouth of the river Alphios. We decided to paddle for few kilometers in the river. The scenery is beautiful: aquatic plants, impenetrable reeds, birds of all kinds. We take advantage of the fresh water to remove some salt off (including Eskimo ...). At the exit of the river the sea is not more quiet, the usual Mistral comes. The gait suffers a sharp slowdown. Today we thought to leave the Gulf and instead we are forced to repair to Katakolo, a sheltered marina just before the cape.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7385929482706879524-8005485655655661409?l=kayakextreme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kayakextreme.blogspot.com/feeds/8005485655655661409/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7385929482706879524&amp;postID=8005485655655661409&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7385929482706879524/posts/default/8005485655655661409'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7385929482706879524/posts/default/8005485655655661409'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kayakextreme.blogspot.com/2010/07/02072010-19-giorno-klidi-katakolo-19.html' title=''/><author><name>giacomo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09856661091694630073</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='22' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_og7MDlIqULI/S8tj2mIAFbI/AAAAAAAAAZY/haR2Re2UGiY/S220/fotoprofilo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7385929482706879524.post-506364791911773418</id><published>2010-07-02T22:21:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2010-07-02T22:37:07.098+02:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:verdana;" &gt;01/07/2010 18° giorno Limenari - Klidi 26 miglia (48 km)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Lasciamo la spiaggia di Limenari, umidissima, per affrontare l'enorme golfo di Kyparisiskos.

Vogliamo sfruttare al massimo il corridoio di calma del mattino per passare Capo Maleas. Con Capo Tenaro sono considerati una sorta di Capo Horn del Mediterraneo, il passaggio e' ritenuto impegnativo anche per le barche a vela piu' grandi. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Alle 5.30 siamo gia' in acqua. Il mare e' buono.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Solo altissime scogliere ci accompagnano fino al Capo. Evitiamo di perdere tempo per il forte vento previsto e soprattutto per l'assenza di ridossi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Doppiamo il Capo passando sotto lo splendido faro e, subito dopo, sotto il monastero di Santa Irene (Aghia Irini). Il vento (e mare mosso...) non tarda ad arrivare. Navigazione faticosa e difficile fino a Neapoli, ma finalmente le nostre bussole segnano rotta Ovest.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Nel pomeriggio oltre 30 nodi di vento ci bloccano nuovamente a terra. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Maria e Gristos, con cui eravamo rimasti in contatto in caso di problemi, ci raggiungono.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Giacomo e Salvo &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic;font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"  &gt;21/06 - 8° &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="long_text" id="result_box"&gt;&lt;span title="" style="FONT-STYLE: italic;font-family:verdana;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;day.

We want to maximize the corridor of calm in the morning to go to Cape Maleas. With Cape Tenaro are considered a sort of Cape Horn in the Mediterranean, passing is considered challenging even for the large sailboats. At 5.30 we are ready in water. The sea is good.&lt;br /&gt;Only high cliffs take us to Cape. We avoid losing time for the expected strong winds and especially the lack of shelter. After rounding the Cape, passing under the beautiful lighthouse, and soon after, in the Monastery of St. Irene (Agia Irini). The wind (and big waves ...) is not slow in coming. Navigation tiring and difficult to Neapolis, but finally our compasses marked route West. In the afternoon more than 30 knots of wind stop us back to land.&lt;br /&gt;Maria and Gristos, with whom we stayed in touch in case of problems, reach us. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="long_text"&gt;&lt;span title="" style="FONT-STYLE: italic;font-family:verdana;" &gt;Giacomo and Salvo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7385929482706879524-1619965843777078098?l=kayakextreme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kayakextreme.blogspot.com/feeds/1619965843777078098/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7385929482706879524&amp;postID=1619965843777078098&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7385929482706879524/posts/default/1619965843777078098'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7385929482706879524/posts/default/1619965843777078098'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kayakextreme.blogspot.com/2010/06/2106-8-giorno.html' title=''/><author><name>giacomo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09856661091694630073</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='22' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_og7MDlIqULI/S8tj2mIAFbI/AAAAAAAAAZY/haR2Re2UGiY/S220/fotoprofilo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7385929482706879524.post-6564395668559635839</id><published>2010-06-22T16:50:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2010-06-22T18:10:57.176+02:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"&gt;20/06 - 7° giorno.

Giacomo Della Gatta e Salvatore Bartoli partiranno a metà Giugno da Patrasso e pagaieranno per oltre 500 Miglia (circa 1000 km) attorno a questa isola voluta dall'uomo. Grazie al Canale di Corinto è infatti possibile circumnavigare la "ex penisola".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_og7MDlIqULI/S_LtV2SFbCI/AAAAAAAAAZ4/wrts-eM_CHs/s1600/PeloponnesosMap.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 298px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472697456812977186" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_og7MDlIqULI/S_LtV2SFbCI/AAAAAAAAAZ4/wrts-eM_CHs/s320/PeloponnesosMap.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Questo Blog verrà usato per gli aggiornamenti anche durante la navigazione.&lt;br /&gt;Sarà seguito da Valentina Bonomonte quando le condizioni non lo permetteranno.

Da Capo Matapan (o Capo Tenaro), considerato dai velisti una sorta di Capo Horn del Mediterraneo, al passaggio del Canale di Corinto. Ed ancora la "doverosa" visita ad Olimpia, meta unica per tutti gli amanti dello sport, situata a pochi chilometri dalla costa Ovest.&lt;br /&gt;L'obiettivo del viaggio, in linea con i precedenti, sarà quello di navigare lungo la costa vivendo in pieno contatto con la natura, facendo campeggio nautico, senza alcun appoggio logistico a terra e quindi in totale autosufficenza. I kayak, oltre all'equipaggiamento stivato nei gavoni stagni, saranno dotati di un mini dissalatore e di pannelli solari che consentiranno di avere autonomia sia per l'acqua che per l'energia elettrica (alimentazione GPS, VHF, etc.) punti chiave per ogni tipo di spedizione. Il carico dei kayak sarà comunque ottimizzato al massimo per consentire una navigazione veloce.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Peloponnesus by kayak&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Another adventure in the seas of Greece. Giacomo Della Gatta and Salvatore Bartoli will start in mid-June from Patras and paddle for more than 500 miles (1,000 km) around this island desired by man. Thanks to the Corinth Canal it is possible to circumnavigate the "ex peninsula".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_og7MDlIqULI/S_L3mcpXN8I/AAAAAAAAAaI/OKIGj2vDDV4/s1600/pelo+vocchio.jpg"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472708737105344450" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_og7MDlIqULI/S_L3mcpXN8I/AAAAAAAAAaI/OKIGj2vDDV4/s320/pelo+vocchio.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;This Blog will be used for updates during navigation.&lt;br /&gt;Will be followed by Valentina Bonomonte when conditions does not permit. Even in the event of problems for weather updates Valentina send bulletins via SMS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Several points of absolute interest. From Cape Matapan (or Cape Tenaro), considered by sailors some sort of Cape Horn of the Mediterranean, the passage of the Corinth Canal. And also the visit to Olympia a "must" and unique destination for all sports enthusiasts, located few kilometers from the west coast.&lt;br /&gt;The purpose of the trip, in line with previous, will be to paddle along the coast living in full contact with nature, by nautical camping, no logistical support from the ground and then in total autonomy. The kayaks, as well as equipment stowed in watertight compartments, will be equipped with a mini water maker and solar panels that will give us autonomy for both water and electricity (power GPS, VHF, etc..)

We consider them a "greetings card" from an island so hard and wild. We are so excited to be so close to the end of our trip and so we paddle stopping only for few minutes and trying to arrive as soon as possible. The emotion rewards us from the hard work. We celebrate this and ... next adventures. Good bye.

Con la testa ormai all'arrivo, previsto per domani, pagaiamo pensando ai punti dell'isola per noi più belli.

Il forte vento li ha costretti a rallentare parecchio, ma per fortuna navigando fino a tarda sera, hanno rispettato l'itinerario programmato.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Le previsioni per domani sono più favorevoli.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6ewrdcKX_Qg/SFAuxkzGy1I/AAAAAAAAAEI/Ob0aas9Gh9I/s1600-h/costa-meridionale.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210716198094162770" style="CURSOR: hand" height="95" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6ewrdcKX_Qg/SFAuxkzGy1I/AAAAAAAAAEI/Ob0aas9Gh9I/s320/costa-meridionale.jpg" width="190" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;First day Mirtos- Tsoutsouros 16 miles&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"&gt;Mistral not spring.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;"&gt;Giacomo e Salvo were forced by the mistral to modify their programs and to change the starting point.

Siamo bloccati a Mochlos, sulla costa Nord-Est dell'isola, da un mare impossibile da navigare. Ieri e oggi forza 6 e 7. Il meteo non ci dice nulla di buono anche per le prossime 48 ore. Il tratto previsto e' molto esposto e non offre ridossi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_og7MDlIqULI/SE7BRKZ8OpI/AAAAAAAAAQM/QRnIoxbHaY4/s1600-h/P6100037.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210314319509338770" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_og7MDlIqULI/SE7BRKZ8OpI/AAAAAAAAAQM/QRnIoxbHaY4/s320/P6100037.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Abbiamo quindi deciso di spostare il punto di partenza a Ierapetra, sul versante Sud-Est. La costa maggiormente protetta dovrebbe offrirci la possibilita' di navigare in sicurezza.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Abbiamo gia' potuto apprezzare l'ospitalita' dei cretesi grazie a Anastasia di Pachia Amos di e Yiorgos Petrakis dell'hotel taverna Sofia di Mochlos per il loro aiuto logistico.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_og7MDlIqULI/SE7CaC6Fi8I/AAAAAAAAAQc/zKKOALN-dEU/s1600-h/P6100035.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210315571627133890" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_og7MDlIqULI/SE7CaC6Fi8I/AAAAAAAAAQc/zKKOALN-dEU/s320/P6100035.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Prisoners of "Maestrale" ...&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;It starts uphill! We are frozen in Mochlos, on the northeast coast of the island, because of sea impossible to navigate. Yesterday and today 6 and 7 sea state. The weather tells us nothing good even for the next 48 hours. The stretch expected and 'very exposed and does not offer shelter.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;We decided to move the starting point to Ierapetra, on the South-East. The coast should offer more protected chances to navigate safely.

From Mondello towards West, to Punta Raisi. After having paddled for more than 12 miles, we reached Torre dell'Orsa near Punta Raisi.

Ha pagaiato in Croazia, Tunisia, Grecia, Thailandia, Caraibi e conosce le coste di quasi tutta Italia avendo vissuto sia in Liguria che in Sicilia. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Tutti viaggi lunghi, impegnativi e sempre in totale autonomia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Salvo, partecipando spesso a gare di kayak, nella specialità maratona, mantiene sempre alto il suo livello di allenamento.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;La buona conoscenza del mare, delle tecniche di salvataggio, della pesca e del campeggio nautico fanno il resto...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_og7MDlIqULI/SAJLpefvXEI/AAAAAAAAAN8/3nj3MxW5s-s/s1600-h/Salvo+Bartoli.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188792896617143362" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_og7MDlIqULI/SAJLpefvXEI/AAAAAAAAAN8/3nj3MxW5s-s/s320/Salvo+Bartoli.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Salvatore Bartoli&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Preparing the trip to Crete ...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Make a journey so challenging as the Circumnavigation of Crete with another kayaker is certainly a great thing. In these days Salvatore Bartoli gave me the confirmation of his opportunity to be part of this adventure. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Salvo is a very experienced seakayaker who travelled in several parts of the Mediterranean Sea and beyond. He paddled in Croatia, Tunisia, Greece, Thailand, Caribbean Sea. He knows the coast of almost all Italy having lived both in Liguria and in Sicily. All trips long, challenging and always in total autonomy.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Salvo, often participating in kayak races in specialties marathon, always maintains its high level of training. Good knowledge of the sea, rescue techniques, fishing, nautical camping are the proper completion...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7385929482706879524-5449291089683046255?l=kayakextreme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kayakextreme.blogspot.com/feeds/5449291089683046255/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7385929482706879524&amp;postID=5449291089683046255&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7385929482706879524/posts/default/5449291089683046255'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7385929482706879524/posts/default/5449291089683046255'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kayakextreme.blogspot.com/2008/04/preparando-il-viaggio-creta.html' title=''/><author><name>giacomo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09856661091694630073</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='22' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_og7MDlIqULI/S8tj2mIAFbI/AAAAAAAAAZY/haR2Re2UGiY/S220/fotoprofilo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_og7MDlIqULI/SAJLpefvXEI/AAAAAAAAAN8/3nj3MxW5s-s/s72-c/Salvo+Bartoli.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7385929482706879524.post-3012949014230167515</id><published>2008-04-06T10:47:00.026+02:00</published><updated>2008-04-13T19:47:47.916+02:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Periplo di Creta&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Nel mese di giugno tenterò di circumnavigare questa splendida e ventosa isola. La partenza è prevista nei primissimi del mese proprio per evitare il &lt;em&gt;Meltemi&lt;/em&gt;, temutissimo vento del Mar Egeo, che diventa fortissimo e spesso proibitivo per la navigazione nei mesi di Luglio e Agosto.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_og7MDlIqULI/R_iZYlmplCI/AAAAAAAAANk/rNOHCsJOm24/s1600-h/cretaantica.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5186063618607256610" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_og7MDlIqULI/R_iZYlmplCI/AAAAAAAAANk/rNOHCsJOm24/s320/cretaantica.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;L'obiettivo del viaggio sarà quello di navigare lungo le selvaggie coste dell'isola. Campeggio nautico, assenza di appoggio a terra e quindi totale autosufficenza saranno le caratteristiche principali del viaggio. Dissalatore e pannelli solari consentiranno autonomia per acqua ed energia elettrica (GPS, VHF, etc.) punti chiave per ogni tipo di spedizione.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Kayakextreme's blog verrà usato per gli aggiornamenti e sarà seguito da Valentina quando non potrò farlo io. Anche in caso di problemi per gli aggiornamenti meteo Valentina invierà i bollettini tramite sms.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Nei prossimi giorni posterò aggiornamenti sul viaggio; dalla preparazione fisica a quella organizzativa, dai particolari dell'equipaggiamento a come verrà organizzato il carico del kayak.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Quindi un arrivederci a tutti gli amici...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Giacomo Della Gatta&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_og7MDlIqULI/R_j2MFmplEI/AAAAAAAAAN0/rNN8uLRPGvQ/s1600-h/25-In+navigazione_jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5186165658440275010" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_og7MDlIqULI/R_j2MFmplEI/AAAAAAAAAN0/rNN8uLRPGvQ/s320/25-In+navigazione_jpg.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Crete's Periplus&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;In June I will attempt to circumnavigate this wonderful and windy island.

Nautical camping, lack of support on the ground and then total autonomy will be the main features of the trip. Watermaker and solar panels will allow autonomy for water and electricity (GPS, VHF, etc.). Key points for each type of expedition. Kayakextreme's blog will be used for updates and will be followed by Valentina when I can not do it myself.
