...now, for some reason, that's precisely my feeling with this spot! 
Ever felt that you grabbed a special parking space, not wanting to leave it anymore?

That's incredible! Stern anchor and bow line to shore or two anchors? Where is it? (or do you want to keep that a secret!)

room for at least a couple more there ?
It would be hard to beat that spot !

Beautiful…. suggest you leave behind some old fishing pots etc to deter others taking your special anchorage, until you return!!
You clearly know this area well, looks like a lot of potential prop smashing rocks lurking a few cm below the surface around the entrance….
Now what want to know…. WHERE IS IT?

Tide, what tide?
you mean the whole 1ft of it in the Med?
I think they'll cope

Wow that's fantastic MapisM. I love to see "brave anchoring" (I mean with tight clearances, as opposed to a anchored in 10m, miles from the beach). Much respect to you!

didn't realize this is MM boat!
Must have been more than 3 yrs ago, as it's not got the new large bimini top.
Spent 15mins in google earth, couldn't spot the place, but Corsica does have similar coastline on the N, NW. Comeon MM, tell us (I for one wont make it that far
)cheers

water looks a bit murky mapism. you probably wouldn't want to get in that!
as regards how the photo taken- tender still attached and presumably on board so taken by 3rd party from either a very high cliff or a very low plane.

surely the shot was taken with some sort of quadcopter/remote control drone?

That would have been my other guess, but it must be quite high. Not sure how high they can go though, could well be

ah my mistake perhaps. I assumed it was MapisM's boat. Right size and genre. But MapisM's has a teak fly deck and the pictured boat has a white deck, so it must be a different boat. A Trader or somethingdidn't realize this is MM boat!

Apologies everybody for the delay in following up after throwing rocks into a pond, so to speak.
Unfortunately, I've not been busy enjoying this fantastic mooring, but I was actually putting my old tub back in the water after a few recaulking and painting jobs - a few pics here:
http://www.ybw.com/forums/showthrea...-where-to-draw-the-line&p=4790210#post4790210
Though I can't complain anyway, 'cause the pics I posted in this other thread were taken this morning in a very nice bay where we dropped the hook yesterday yesterday, all alone, in glorious sunshine and sea as flat as a flat thing...
...pure bliss, after a long winter without boating (though with a great parenthesis in between, actually - many thanks again, Deleted User!).
But I digress. Back to the point, the story behind the above pic is actually funny, because it was sent to me from a boat mate of mine, and the boat in the pic is a (slightly smaller) sistership of mine, used in the E coast of Sardinia by a tour operator for daily excursions for tourists.
Which is also the reason why he asked me to not disclose (well, not publicly, at least...
) the exact coordinates of that spot.
But no worries, if anyone is interested in cruising that or very similar stretches of coast, there's plenty in the area I already mentioned in this other thread:
http://www.ybw.com/forums/showthrea...l-spot-for-Med-boaters-bucket-list&highlight=
In fact, the above spot is just a few miles further north from there, and even if you wouldn't find it, the alternatives are endless, as I'm told!
I hope to have time to try the area first hand during this season, so stay tuned...
Oh, and for those who were wondering, I think that the pic was taken from a very steep cliff, which is one of the peculiarities of that coastline
Which is in fact well known also among climbers, 'cause it offers the possibility to practice some free climbing where, if worse comes to worst, at least the corpse can be recovered almost intact from the water, rather than in bits, squashed on hard rocks...
