This year I'm starting my second decade of Med boating, and I'm currently based in Sardinia, but I cruised the Adriatic, Ionean, Thyrrenian and Ligurian seas.
I'm still missing the Spanish coasts and islands, is that the area you're referring to by chance?

Re. the kedge usage, I did guess that you generally use it to keep the boat bow to swell, but I was focusing on anchorages with the boat tied to the shore, where wagenaar said - and as I understood you agreed - that he uses the kedge and ties the bow to the shore (thus obviously keeping the stern more exposed to swell), whilst I always do the opposite.
