From my balcony to the world
What a nightmare... After I left Celina safe and sound at her usual spot in the bay of Palmanova I returned the next morning to check on her. To my surprise Celina was not there anymore. First I had hoped that Franz took her out for an early sail but when I saw my dinghy… Continue reading Celina – Gone
Even though Celina came ready to sail with many features for long distance sailing it was still necessary to do some modifications. Most importantly was a new antifouling. Celina´s hull grew quite a few barnacles in the last year and so it was time to scratch them off. At the same time I planned to… Continue reading Maintenance Weeks
After I finally bought my own sailing boat it was about time to bring Celina home to Palma. Together with Ian and Franz, I flew to Valencia. We enjoyed a quiet train ride to Burriana and, since there were some holiday festivities going on and we could not find a taxi, we decided to walk… Continue reading Maiden Voyage…
It's been quite some time since I last published here because there has been a very interesting development during the summer months. As usual in summer time the heat is too much to do hikes here on Mallorca, besides it was a really busy summer full of work. We used to fly a lot of… Continue reading Meet Celina…
How to re-charge an empty battery? Well, it depends on the device you want to re-charge. Sometimes it just needs a socket and you plug your phone or computer.

Its peak reaches an altitude of 1106 meters above sea level and offers stunning views over the Tramuntana mountains and both water reservoirs, Cuber… Continue reading Mountain Air
For the last few months I only posted videos about hikes which I undertook either by myself or with colleagues and friends. The main reason why I withhold videos from my other two categories, Water and Air is simple: Air: as a flight instructor I mainly fly training flights with new colleagues and therefore all… Continue reading Tossals Verds
Today I will be hiking again in the Tramuntana mountains on the lovely island of Mallorca. As usual I start at one of the parking lots close to the Cuber water reservoir and I initially follow the GR-221. It is a beautiful day, the temperature is just right and I can pick up quite a… Continue reading Serra de Teixos
As days are finally getting longer and temperatures climb up the scale I decided to enjoy a beautiful sunset hike on the westerly coastline of Mallorca. I set off from the picturesque little village of Sant Elm and headed northbound. Soon I found myself on a gravel trail which led into a small forrest. This… Continue reading Sunset on Mallorca
Welcome to 2022! I don't know about the rest of you but I have got a feeling that this year will be better than the last ones. To support this feeling I started the new year with lots of sports and fun activities like playing beach volley. The month of January was indeed packed with… Continue reading Painful Mountain
