There Was This Huge Area Moving Around In Circles
I was in a boat far from shore at the Brazilian South Coast, close to a city called Florianopolis. Suddenly I looked to a point like “A MILE” away and I noticed something VERY STRANGE and DISTURBING happening: There was this HUGE area moving around in circles, very fast!!! It seemed that it could “suck us in” at any moment!!! Of course, we did not stay there to see if that would happen… and we hurried back to the coast. Until today, I don't know what I saw… if it was the beginning of a hurricane, a hidden Vulcano bellow water or something very big moving the water! Anyways it gives me nightmares until today…

Just South Of Toulon. Heading For Cap D’agde, We’d Refuelled In Porquerolles And Were Off The Coast When This Started To Role In
The Mistral had been blowing in the Gulf of Toulon for several days (F10) and we holed up in Elba until it had calmed down. Apparently, in this part of the world, when the cold, wet, Mistral stops blowing from the North, it’s met by warm, dry equatorial air coming up from the South. When they meet, this is what forms. My first time ever sailing in that part of the world, this was entirely new to me, so to say it came as a surprise is a little understatement.The night passed in dense fog (we had no radar on-board), and was spent with 2 on watch, 15-minute radio calls giving away our position, dodging shipping coming out of Marseilles and rounding that corner of France, and watching the clock tick down to daylight. We tied up in Cap D’agde the following morning - yacht delivery complete.
