On Saturday we sailed back to Barcelona from Andraxt, which is on the south west corner of Mallorca. We’d had a lovely calm night on our mooring ball but I didn’t sleep too well, I’m always a bit restless before a long...
Today we allowed ourselves a lazy day in preparation for our passage back to Badalona tomorrow. After a late night we had a bit of a lie in, had breakfast on the boat and then headed ashore for some much needed showers...
Whilst we were in the bay of Cala Nova, which is busy as it’s part of the main tourist track of Mallorca, we thought we might as well make use of the numerous bars with free internet and work on savvy navvy for a...
Monday we decided to spend the day in Cala Caragon. In the absence of decent cellular coverage the morning consisted of messing around with the GoPro – oh the joys of unemployment 😉 We’d been trying to feed a...
This morning we got up, got ready and set off on our 35 mile, 7 hour trip from Pollença to Menorca. The forecast had changed a bit from the previous evening meaning we were predicted the 15 knot northerly winds later in...
After not leaving the boat yesterday we decided that today we really needed some exercise. This afternoon we headed into Pollença and this time avoided getting soaked in the dinghy with our newfound technique of both...
The plan today was to go into Palma (which is 45mins from Pollença on the bus) as we need to buy a water tester so we can see what’s going on with our water maker. After having breakfast however we realised we...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
