    Bon petit récapitulatif déjà là maintenant il pleut bon on s’en doutait c’était le jour noir un peu du voyage mais là il pleut vraiment. L’avion s’est super bien passé. Léa m’a fait trop rire parce que pour elle c’était une première fois franchement on s’est super bien démerdé pour arriver jusqu’à l’hôtel la chambre est vraiment trop mignonne elle est plutôt grande on a un super beau balcon et on a tellement bien dormi. Genre le lit il est parfait, on a goûté le KFC d’Ibiza, et honnêtement on valide.Read more

  • Day 56

    Es Cubells, Es Vedra und Can Costa

    September 30, 2019 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    Heute gab es den ein oder anderen Panoramablick auf die Küste Ibizas und Formentera während einer ausgiebigen Wanderung bei 35 Grad zu erhaschen. Die Erkundungstour endete - wie soll es auch anders sein - in einem ibizenkischen Landhaus mit inseltypischen Produkten wie Wein, Kräuterlikör sowie Wurst und Feigendessert. Ich gewöhne mich langsam an die Verköstigung. 😉Read more

  • Day 6

    Car exploration and the C’an Marça Caves

    September 5, 2019 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    Following a spontaneous Zouk dancing class last night, we pondered on how to spend our time today. Check out was 11am, but the hotel said we could store our luggage and use all the facilities all day which was good. But, after much consideration, we took the plunge and hired a rental car - an experience in itself driving on the wrong side of the road!
    First up was exploring the Dalt Vila - the old town in Ibiza. This medieval fortified city sits proudly at the top of Ibiza town, complete with bastion strong holds, a cathedral, various churches and old medieval buildings.
    We then headed north to Port de Sant Miguel, a lovely picturesque cove away from main tourist hubs and a popular spot for locals. We explored the C’an Marça Caves, used by smugglers to store their tobacco, coffee and alcohol. I wouldn't want to be a smuggler though, they had to crawl through a 40-50cm tall hole for 37 metres to get out in an emergency!
    Unfortunately there was no parking in the main town so we headed back south for lunch, then onto San Raphael to stop past 2 of the island biggest clubs - Amnesia and Privilege. All closed up for the day but Mad got a sneak peek inside before the cleaners caught him. These buildings are absolutely enormous, I couldn't imagine the atmosphere where they're packed out. Mad didn't get to go to a club in the end as it turns out Wednesday night is akin to a Sunday night and the only thing on was a flower power 1960s-1970s music night (personally that sounds much better to me lol), but these clubs down even open until 11.30pm so it would have been too late for our check out the next day.
    We had time for a quick swim before heading to the airport, where we currently lounge waiting for our slightly delayed flight.

    Sunning in Ibiza

    September 4, 2019 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    Leaving Valencia we had a short 30 minute Ryanair flight to the Spanish island of Ibiza - another smooth check in and no complaints with Ryanair. This completes Emily's Balearic island trio - something she never thought she'd say, and giving Mad access to the DJ hub of the world.
    Time for some pool and beach relaxation, a good recovery day after a fairly busy few days in Valencia

  • Day 278–279

    Ibiza VII: Cala Benirràs ⚓

    March 7 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    After a couple of days in Cala Tarida we were ready for our next bay. Since my family is coming to Mallorca at the end of March for a week we are starting to look for upcoming wind windows to cross from Ibiza to Mallorca. Therefore, we are aiming to travel northeast from here.

    Our course is upwind from Tarida towards the north. After a mile or 10 we are getting close to the northwestern corner of the island when the wind dies. We only have a few miles to go to a dream anchorage, secluded with just cliffs and rock formations. Unfortunately once we get there the swell happily rolls in and additionally we would have to drop the anchor in about 12 meters of water. So we continue. Sadly, the wind is still nowhere to be found but we have 7 more miles to go. Perky the engine it is.

    On the upside, this side of the island is absolutely gorgeous. Even though we get sprayed by some rain, it is a nice trip. We finally make it to our anchorage Cala Benirràs after a long day. We took our time in the morning, having a cup of tea with the Watertuin, go for a shower and thus a swim since the color of the water again is mesmerizing and thinking we had the whole day ahead of us. By time the anchor is hooked the sun starts to set and we go inside for dinner and a another early night. We sleep, swell wise, okay but not great. So the next morning we wake up early and move on to the next bay.

    Ibiza V: Cala Es Jondal ⚓

    February 28 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

    This was one of those anchorages where the time passed very quickly and we are not sure what we actually did. We worked for a couple of days, read a lot in our massive books by Ken Follet, had some drinks and dinner with our neighbors Beautje and Noordster, and only went ashore once. We did have a lot of gray and rainy days so it does make sense this anchorage wasn't too memorable location. once it was another pretty one though. But all in all, not much to say.Read more

  • Day 262–264

    Ibiza II: Cala Es Bol Nou ⚓

    February 19 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    Together with Beautje we left our first Ibiza anchorage to set sail to our second one on the south west side of the island. It was only a 15nm sail and it was another lovely. Only downside of today is that the wind had shifted a bit sooner than anticipated so we had had a bit of a bumpy night and not a great night's rest. But the wind was great, barely any waves and the sun was out (a bit). It was going to be a lovely day.

    One of the prettiest parts of the trip was passing between Es Vedra, a small rock island just off the coast of Ibiza, and Ibiza itself. At some point we passed the bay we thought we would make our final stop of the day but we couldn't see any place to get on shore with our dinghies. So we sailed, crawled, on. On the Balearic Islands we don't just need to take the swell and wind into account, but the local seagrass as well. You are not allowed to drop your anchor, or chain, in the seagrass. If you do you can get a massive (€2000 or something like that) fine. We use an app to see which bays are not entirely covered in seagrass and in the bay itself you can easily see the darker spots where the seagrass is located.

    Eventually we found a good bay, Es Bol Nou. We were both able to drop our anchor safely. We took a short walk on shore but we, but mostly I, were pretty tired after a bad night. Not long after we sat down on the beach to enjoy a drink with the best view there is: our own boat anchored in a beautiful place.

    On our second day, we but mostly Bart, worked a bit in the morning and in the afternoon we took a hike up the hill nearby. The views were stunning. Along the way we passed a lot of rosemary thus obviously I had to pick some. But also a lot of little graveyards where people bury their pets, it was a bit creepy.

    We spent the evening with Beautje again, before we went to bed after another very good day on board, in the Med!

  • Day 257

    Eivissa I: Port des Torrent⚓

    February 14 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    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.

    Ses Salinas Strand

    September 28, 2024 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    Wow, war das ein Höllentrip hierher. Erst mussten wir uns durch den Stadtstau wegen dem Triathlon kämpfen und dann ging auf der Autobahn der Bus kaputt und mussten auf einen neuen warten. Statt 15 min haben wir jetzt 3 Stunden gebraucht 🫠
    Der Strand ist okay, schmal und algig an vielen Stellen aber das Wasser ist glasklar.

    Sant Miquel

    May 31, 2024 in Spain ⋅ 🌬 20 °C

    Heute haben wir nur eine kleine Runde geplant. Wir starten mit dem kleinen Bergdorf Sant Miquel in dem aber nur der Kirchplatz wirklich sehenswert ist. 😅
    Interessanter Weise sieht die Kirche von außen größer aus, als sie von Innen ist 🤔Read more
