Knock knock.. who’s there? Bonifacio. [Ep. 107]

Just shows what great & knowledgeable sailors & lovers of sailing are following you around the globe! Luv ya'!

To answer the question @ 12:20 "how weird is that"? In realtion to the Geological stratum, the wide outcrops along the cliffs of Bonifacio, expose two stratigraphic series of shallow marine deposits, the reefal Cala di Labra Formation (Upper Burdigalian), and the Bonifacio Formation (Lower Langhian at the youngest). The Bonifacio formation (Miocene of Corsica): Transition from a wave- to tide-dominated coastal system in mixed carbonate-siliciclastic setting (reference from: <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/273927951_The_Bonifacio_formation_Miocene_of_Corsica_Transition_from_a_wave-_to_tide-dominated_coastal_system_in_mixed_carbonate-siliciclastic_setting" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.researchgate.net/publication/273927951_The_Bonifacio_formation_Miocene_of_Corsica_Transition_from_a_wave-_to_tide-dominated_coastal_system_in_mixed_carbonate-siliciclastic_setting</a> [accessed Sep 25, 2017]. The basement rocks can be found in IRELAND so you will have to go there to assess how weird it actually is. The North American and European Variscan Belt includes the mountains of Portugal and Spain (Galicia, and Pyrenees), southwestern Ireland (i.e. Munster), Cornwall, Devon, Pembrokeshire, the Gower Peninsula and the Vale of Glamorgan. Its effects are present in France from Brittany, below the Paris Basin to the Ardennes, the Massif Central, the Vosges and Corsica. But the lateral formations are later sedimentary deposits from between 15.7 and 16.5 million years ago ( and you thought Napoleons house was old?~ the rocks that built it make him look like a veritable spring chicken) anyway marine deposits ( these cliffs were once ocean floor) are what cause the layers. Tectonic activity ( pressure from plate movement) cause these horizontal layers to twist and buckle which is why you can sometimes see the "horizons" or striations twisted 45 or even 90 degrees although I don't think that is prevalent in Corsica. You would have to go to Brittany or IRELAND to witness the such cataclysmic effects in abundance. Especially after visiting a distillery.

Guys as regards berth pricing, weather in english and similar cruising info I suggest you check out noon site e.g for Italy <a href="http://www.noonsite.com/Countries/Italy" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.noonsite.com/Countries/Italy</a> If you are planning going up Spain Portugal and France to the Arctic. It covers Caribbean and North America as well if you are taking the Gulf stream Western route.

As regards The Corporal ~ Boneparte ( you may be aware of the Palindrome "Able was I ere I saw Elba") his prowess was not just his Military genius but his civil administration and law is the basic Law of Western Continental Europe ( including the driving on the right hand side of the road). The first modern legal code to be adopted with a pan-European scope the Napoleonic Code influenced developing countries outside Europe especially in the Middle East. I would say outside of Alexander the Great ther is probably no one to compare to as a Military/Political leader.

We had company this week, so I've missed watching. Now I have my coffee, the Golf Channel, Riley & Elayna. Life could not be better! Anxious to see your next vid. This 1 is my favorite -wait, the last 1 was my favorite. Luv 'ya!

One more wonderful vid!

Loved this one too, really interested in Elayna’s fish vegan diet and would love to hear more about if its a struggle to find vegan food or if its easy? Also why Fish vegan . . . . . . .?

That spinnaker clip toward the beginning was brilliant!!

Episodes just get better and better. The quality of filming and editing is this one is excellent. Great shots, great clips...and my favorite part...the history lesson from Riley. Well done!

Thanks for taking us to Corsica. I really hope you spend quite a while in the Med for all of us.

Fantastic video, thanks

Love the music this week 🤓

I see you have a $1000 member!... I feel so cheap.... :-/

I wanted to know about your sea sickness, Elayna. Is that something that just happens every now and then or did you eat or drink something? Also, I have a tendency to get motion sickness after I had 2 children but my husband and I are planning on getting or building (I know very ambitious of me, but I met a guy in caribbean that built his own cat with no previous experience and I am a carpenter so surely I have a leg up, right) But I am worried I will never get over the motion sickness. My husband says that people eventually acclimate (this is from his knowledge gained by watching "the deadliest catch" haha). Is this true. Would i eventually get over it and what might help one to overcome it?

I liked the very subtle Jurassic Park quote from Elena... "Clever girl"

Very good video. Lots of info/places packed into a short video. Would have enjoyed seeing more of the destinations. Video quality and music is excellent!

You didn't call a Patreon. :/

Very informative Riley.... 👍 would be good to see some sailing using your very smart tiller.... mr and mrs tiller are in a lot of shots but never being used....

OMG Bonafacio looks amazing! Can't wait till next week! Also, love the new threads

Just to let you know it came up on you tube first....

Whoever invented the Knock Knock joke, should receive the no bell prize 🙊🙉😂😂

I've been waiting for monday 🤣🤣

Wow, every place is so beautiful. I don't think you could be traveling in a more spectacular place right now. Cheers!

Beautiful mood in this episode!

Ah Corsica! But I've got to order my Bilgy shirt before they sell out! LOL!
