Port Roses/Costa Brava /Spain

FYI: While tramontana is blowing - keep in mind that Roses marina should be your last resort - no chance I will leave my boat there for overwinter...

sprays are coming over the breakwater, salt everywhere , wind protection almost non existent, going to and back from shower/toilette is very salty and wet experience all possible extra's in one place...

definitely better in Empuria Brava ....

Re: Port Roses/Costa Brava /Spain

I left my yacht on the hard in Cap D' Agde, one winter,on returning to the boatyard in the spring I was surprised to find that all the yachts on the yard had their mast head halyards extended and attached to stakes in the ground either side and the fence posts behind the yachts!

one of my crew referred to the mistral wind as "Fresh to Frightening!" when we got caught out in a blow a few weeks later,which I thought to be a a very apt description!

My boat stay in St Cyprien marina and I'm extremely happy - safe and sound the permanent mooring Le Capellans is very quite and well designed, no matter what is the wind I feel safe.

The actual issue that I was mentioning was the the marina in Roses need to be avoided

the last time I was in Rosas was in 1989,and it was just an open anchorage with a few boats on moorings,so I am sure the local sailors see the marina as a big improvement

from service point if view marina is good, just when the forecast is for 40+kts tramontana better go one mile further to Empuriabrava or to El Puerto Del Selva north direction.

Roses can be nice stay if the wind is < 25kts
