From my balcony to the world
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…
Sailing for me means way more than just to enjoy water, wind and the sun. It's a lifestyle. It's been quite a while since we last set sail. The reason is that we changed our boat sharing provider. We are now on a Beneteau Cyclades 39 which in fact is exactly the same as we… Continue reading Sailing is a lifestyle
In the Northeast of Mallorca there is a hidden vineyard which probably produces the best wine on the island. From Palma we followed initially the highway to Manacor and from there we continued to Colonia Sant Pere. The vineyard is, or was owned by a French count ( he recently sold it ) who started… Continue reading Wine & Sail
The weather was perfect, the boat was ready but part of the crew was not. Most common mistakes when it comes to sea-sickness is boarding a vessel with an empty stomach, not bringing enough clothes when you feel cold or when you think you can manage a cruise day while experiencing a hang-over. While most… Continue reading Drunken Sailor
I love it when we can combine two of my favorite activities in one weekend: hiking and sailing. On day one we decided to escape the city and enjoy the weather on the mountains. Our goal was the tallest peak in the Northwest of Mallorca, Puig de Galatzó: 1026 meters above mean sea level. Equipped… Continue reading Weekend Fun
Even though the island of Mallorca offers a fantastic variety of activities like hiking, wine tasting, spelunking and a lot more, my favorite activity during this current situation is sailing. It gives me the impression of limitless freedom. Being able to set sail and forget about our situation for a moment or two is priceless.… Continue reading Feeling free…
Join us during this exciting week of possibilities. For more than 10 months the world seems to have only one topic: the virus. Admittedly it did have some serious effects on our daily live. And since everyone is quite aware of it I won't spend any further words on it. So let's try to focus… Continue reading One week on Mallorca – without a thought of the virus
It was the beginning of November, the weather got cold and the situation with the virus didn't get any better. For us it seemed to be the perfect time to leave for a two week trip to Las Palmas, Gran Canaria. As our means of transportation we chose a boat, a sailboat which belonged to… Continue reading Sailing from Palma to Las Palmas
Maybe you have noticed just the same but I realized that throughout the last six months while our normal way of life came quite harshly out of track, no-one seems to talk about anything else anymore but the virus. Understandably this situation has left us with more questions than answers. For us to clear our… Continue reading Sailing in the bay of Palma
