Playa de Talamanca

We had a very special Valentine's day together. We had a date that lasted for more than 24 hours. We left Dénia, a day later than anticipated due to a bit too high of Cape index than we like, on February 13th late in the evening. We're going to Ibiza! Woahoo! We're (not) going to have a party. For a minute we thought we had to turn back around since a ship was dredging in the middle of the peer. Which shouldn't be a big problem except for the fact that insanely long lines running almost through the entire pier were keeping the boat in place. We called them and they secured us that we should have enough room if we crossed port side to port side. So we did and we were free to go!

We had to seek the wind a little bit at first, but once we had left the lew of El Mongo (big rock shaped a bit like an 🐘), we were cruising! Unfortunately, the ways were very quick and hitting us from the side. It would go to bed first. I went down to brush my teeth and that was a brutal mistake. Shortly after I got really seasick. While I was in bed I didn't sleep but was fighting against the nausea. Just before stepping outside to relieve Bart, I fed the fish for the first time. So far our romantic sailing date 😉 Somewhere halfway through my shift I fed the fishies again. I did feel a lot better after the second time and thought it had passed. When Bart came up to relieve me we decided to take a reef out first, out of nowhere I suddenly needed to feed the fish for a third time! ❤️‍🔥That was the last of it though. Mostly because the waves had calmed down a lot too. Bart wasn't struggling so much luckily.

During my last shift I saw the sun rise behind Ibiza, so beautiful. I tried to see if Bart was awake so have some romantic highlight😂, but he was fast asleep. Only a couple hours later we dropped our anchor for the first time on Ibiza/Eivissa. We stayed in this bay for a couple of days to work a bit, hangout with Coco, chill on the beach, try to catch some fish (no luck) and eventually welcome Beautje to Ibiza (read making the fishers angry by playing Venga Boys' We're going to Ibiza very loud). It is nowhere near party time this time of the year on Ibiza. It is very quiet which is lovely! The water is still a bit chilly, but we going for a quick dip every now and then just because it is so pretty and the weather is great to go on hikes.Read more
