Gulf of Lion

And you have one

of the biggest winds in coming down through the Gulf of Lyon, the Mistral.

Yeah, that's the west-east wind.

When we were there, we had an east-west wind, which again was funneling.

July 1st, 1804.

Although I wrote you, my dearest Emma, a letter by Rosas, of June 27th, not yet gone, the weather being so very bad that ships cannot get across the Gulf of Lyons, yet I will not miss the opportunity of writing by Gibraltar.

You must not, my Emma, think of hearing from me by way of Malta.

It takes as long to send a letter to Malta as to England.
