From my balcony to the world
As the weather was finally improving we were planning to fill our lungs with fresh mountain air. Puig de ses Vinyes lies embedded in the Tramuntana mountains close to Cuber reservoir. 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
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

Sun. Wind. Perfect conditions for sailing in Palma bay. With Mahe, the 39 feet Beneteau Cyclades we cast off for a day at sea. Before we do so, there are lots of bags to be loaded. Food, clothes, drinks. Finally we cast off, in 15 knots of steady breeze. It is a late afternoon departure… Continue reading A day at sea
The last three months were without a doubt the most challenging for all of us. From one day to another we were restricted in travel or personal contacts with friends and family. Personally it was quite an impact at the very beginning of the crisis because as the past had already shown, the aviation industry… Continue reading Still far from normal
After carefully studying the plans by B&B I started to build my 10ft. nesting dinghy. I didn't have a garage or a garden to build my boat that's why I used my balcony.
