Two weeks in Ibiza

Greetings from Ibiza where the weather is glorious! Actually, it’s not. I think London and Leipzig have seen more sun in the last few weeks than we have in Spain! The latest downpour has just let up leaving...

Fri 15 Jun

Having been up half the night murdering bloody mosquitoes (how they get in through the hatch nets we have no clue) Tom went for a swim and we had lunch. Just across from where we are is a hanger with two really cool sea...

Wed 13 and Thu 14 June

Wednesday started off a bit slow after we had a little too much to eat (and drink) on Tuesday night after our adventurous sail down from Soller to Alcudia. In the morning we sat in the marina and came up with a plan for...

Tue 12 Jun

The plan today was to head to Palma which was estimated to be about a 12 hour trip given there was so little wind. We’d reserved a slot in the marina in advance of the 40 knot westerly winds predicted to sweep over the...

Mon 11 Jun

This morning I got up relatively early, while Camilla was having a little snooze. A quick look at the weather forecast showed scary winds coming through on Tuesday night, so we thought we’d try to make our way...

Sun 10 Jun

We had a very eventful start to the day, and didn’t up in bed until gone 3am. It started at 11pm with a spectacular lightening show which we watched from our cabin. Tom drifted off to sleep and about 10 minutes later...

Sat 9 Jun

When I think of “a day at anchor” I think of lying around, sipping a nice cold drink and maybe reading a book. Well, our first day at anchor was a bit more exciting than that. We woke up early-ish (for unemployed people...

Thu 7 and Fri 8 Jun

After having delayed our departure by a day to avoid the rain, we woke up to…rain. We gave up on the idea of doing a workout on the beach (I was majorly disappointed, as you can imagine 😉 ) and instead we lay in...

Wed 6 Jun

Today started far too early with a massive rain shower that woke us up at 4 am. It was one of those torrential downpours that you only get in warmer climates, and the sound it makes as it hits the boat is – well...

Tue 5 Jun

Today was supposed to be our last in Barcelona before heading to Mallorca tomorrow. We’ve been tracking the forecast all day though and it looks less than ideal. Thunderstorms (which means it’ll be gusty), rain for...

Mon 4 Jun

This morning we got up reasonably early and went for a run. Well, we tried to go for a run. All the cycling I’ve done over the past few months has caught up with my knees, and my right one is really playing up. Defeated...

Sun 3 Jun

Today was the first time in ages that we haven’t left the boat – the rain in Spain falls mainly in the marina apparently. 🙁  It’s been cold, wet and windy all day so we stayed inside and used the time...
