    P. Pollenca ⚓: Andriessen Triple Trouble

    5–7 Apr, Spanyol ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    When my family had just left the next family adventure awaited us already: Pleun and Eef. The three Andriessen musketeers complete, in the same place, at the same time. Unique. As usually they are spread across different continents or at least different countries. Crazy enough they have been in the same country for about a month now. We had to take this opportunity.

    For a little while, we thought mom would also join the party, since some mysterious gifts had been delivered to the cantina restaurant right behind our Nimrod while we were away. But Marloes had "only" instructed someone to bring us birthday gifts!!

    We started the good times with a typical, in the absence of Marloes we honored her with her well known, borrelplank and some bubbles to start the festivities on our aft deck. Good company and good conservations made that the time was flying by. As we were all up for some time to relax, we called it night not too late.

    On day two of triple trouble, we sailed a bit before dropping the anchor followed by a relaxed morning. We took the dinghy ashore for a delicious paella, mussels, gambas and patatas bravas lunch. More great conversation, the type you often only have with family, later we were treated with ice cream by Pleun!

    Early the next morning we discovered that our water tanks were empty and we already knew the watermaker wasn't working properly anymore. So from a lovely relaxing sort of boat retreat, we went a bit into camping style. As Bart and I tried to fix the watermaker Pleun and Eef luckily used the time to enjoy the sun and beautiful water. Not long after it was time to say goodbye for now. Leave family time behind us and get back into cruiser's life: fixing your boat in beautiful places.    Baca selengkapnya

    Inca🏡 : Family Time!!

    29 Mar–5 Apr, Spanyol ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

    My family is here!! A few hours later than anticipated, but they made it! One of the cabin crews of their plane got sick. At first it looked like they had to wait for hours before they would take off. Luckily, they were only delayed about 2 hours. As they were on their way, Bart and I docked Nimrod in Port de Pollenca and took the bus to Inca to do some groceries already. Little did we know that we would spend 3 hours in the Mercadona. We do love Mercadona, but this was a bit much...

    Turns out, pap had reserved a big decent car, yet we ended up with a lovely Dacia Jogger, because the two extra seats of the initial car didn't work. About another hour later they were on their way. When Bart and I figured the family would almost be there we took the cart fully filled with groceries downstairs to the parking garage. Luckily we brought a football because, as we do best as Flensjes, of course it took a bit longer than anticipated again 😉

    With a car filled to the roof and me stuck in the back, with about only my head sticking out, we drove the last short bit to our gorgeous villa. We started the week off right with some delicious tapas and champagne. The tone was set. This was going to be a good week.

    For a Flensjes family vacation we did a loooot. Where we used to have 3 outings in week back in the day, of which grocery shopping was one, we did something every day! Many thanks to the lil bro and his girlfriend Annet for making a list, an extensive list, of what to see and where to eat.

    From a delicious lunch, on a tricky location for the Dacia Jogger with its massive turning circle, in a beautiful spot, to introducing the family to our walks along the cliff paths, a short and sweet visit to Palma, a hike in the mountains and a day on the water (and having to dive to figure out how to free our anchor chain from underneath a mooring buoy), we did it all! On top of that we celebrated both Bart's (32) and my (30!!) birthdays together.

    We did a lot of fun things, but of course the best part was just to be together as a family for a while and to show them our new life a little bit. Saying goodbye of course came with some tears after such a lovely week together 👩🏾‍🦱👨🏻‍🦲👩🏽‍🦱🧑🏻‍🦱🧑🏽‍🦱👩🏽.    Baca selengkapnya

    Port de Pollença I ⚓

    26–29 Mar, Spanyol ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

    For those of you who have known us before this sailing adventure, you might remember our not so successful "Christmas 2023 at Vlieland". It all started in 2022. It has become a bit of a Dutch sailing tradition to spend New Year's Eve on Terschelling, one of the islands in the Waddenzee. In 2022 we attempted to go there. Long story short, we didn't make it and we ended up cheersing to 2023 in Makkum, Friesland, in the middle of nowhere. In 2023 we thought that's not going to happen to us again! This year we will take 2 weeks to get Terschelling and while we are at it, we will invite our families to Vlieland to celebrate Christmas at the Nimrod. Well, we did celebrate Christmas at Vlieland that year. But we had to take the ferry and Nimrod was still in Enkhuizen (but, yes we did make it Terschelling for New Year's that year).

    Since my family is coming to Mallorca and we had booked a berth, pretty close to where we would stay as a family, in Pollenca we had a deadline and a challenge. Will we make it to Pollenca on time OR will it be Christmas on Vlieland 2023 2.0.

    Challenge accepted and challenge succeeded! Wow what a trip it was from Port de Soller to Pollenca. Amazing wind, another gennaker day and on top of that a small pod of 3 dolphins accompanied us for at least an hour. At the same time that the gennaker was up!! All the while we were cruising by the highest mountains and rocky coast of Mallorca 😍 Some of them looked like the rock from the Lion King, naturally I had to...    Baca selengkapnya

    Port de Soller ⚓

    24–26 Mar, Spanyol ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C

    After the stormy winds have passed we find an acceptable weather window to sail north to Port de Soller. Since my family is coming to Mallorca for our birthdays we have a bit of a tight schedule. We start the day as we call it "gray and grauw": gray clouds, not a lot of wind and rain. Slowly the gray clouds pass and here and there a little bits of blue sky appear. The wind also gets better and better. After a couple of hours, after a couple of attempts, we hoist our colorful gennaker. Ideal for light winds from reaching to downwind (van achteren). Above 10 knots we prefer not to use our gennaker because she's a beauty, but she has some years on her. So when the wind picks up after a few hours we take down the gennaker and set up a "melkmeisje". After all we have a beautiful sail along the rocky and impressive west coast of Mallorca.

     Port de Soller is one of the very few protected anchorages on this side of the island. It's quite a big bay and it surrounded by mountains. Absolutely stunning! On the other hand, it is also very touristy. The entire bay is surrounded by a boulevard filled with shops, bars, restaurants and veeeery expensive ice cream. We keep it to just one scoop each😉. On top of that a small tram brings heaps of tourists from the coastal town Port de Soller to Soller itself. It's a cute town and the mountain views are gorgeous, but a bit too touristy in our opinion. After 2 good night's of sleep we continue north to Pollenca. There we'll be able to leave Nimrod in the municipal harbor when my family is here.    Baca selengkapnya

    Mallorca III: Port d'Andratx

    21–24 Mar, Spanyol ⋅ 🌬 16 °C

    There was a lot of wind coming so we needed to hide somewhere (35+ knots of wind)! We chose to go to Port d'Andratx and to book a berth in the municipal harbor. We first booked just for a night as we are looking for a weather window to go up North. Unfortunately we quickly realized the strong winds would keep blowing until Monday.

    While we were securely snug like a bug in Port d'Andratx it looked a couple of times like we could have gone out sailing. However within 30 minutes the strong winds and high waves would come back. We decided we had made a good decision and be okay with the fact that we should Stay in a harbor for a couple of days. After all, we had just spent about a month on anchor ⚓⛵

    Port d'Andratx was a very cute town with adorable little traditional or semi-traditional fishing boats. We like to call them dopjes. We did a nice walk to the other side of the bay, got some treats from the bakery and chatted with the baker woman about the NL-ES ⚽ game and by accident enjoyed some waaaaay to expensive drinks on a beautiful terrace on the boulevard.

     From Port d'Andratx we also took the bus to Palma de Mallorca for some sight seeing. It was a surprisingly beautiful city. Especially the cathedral and castle, which we obviously only saw from the outside, and the older smaller streets were gorgeous. For lunch we found a nice tapas bar before taking the bus back home. On Sunday we walked to the pier to look at the violence of the waves chashing into it and we were happy with our decision we didn't go yet. Afterwards, we did some work and went to bed rather late since Spain and the Netherlands decided to take it all the way to penalties!!    Baca selengkapnya

    Mallorca II: Santa Ponça ⚓

    17–21 Mar, Spanyol ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

    From Portals Vells it was only a couple of miles around the corner to our next anchorage in Santa Ponca. Unfortunately no wind, so we turned on Perky once more.

    In Santa Ponca we had a couple of good game nights playing Catan with the Noordster and were able to restock with groceries. We both worked a bit and we went for a nice walk around town. Compared to Ibiza Mallorca is a lot more lively. There are more people out and about and stores and restaurants are opened which doesn't give off the deserted vibes we felt on Ibiza (although we absolutely enjoyed our time spent on our walks in nature on Ibiza).

    Gerben and Jolanda had caught one of the local sea breams in our previous anchorage so Bart lent them his fish trap. On the third day they caught their very first octopus! This time its size was perfect for the four of us. Jolanda created a new Dutch special: hutspot with pulpo! 😋    Baca selengkapnya

    Mallorca I: Portals Vells ⚓

    15–17 Mar, Spanyol ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C

    We had a beautiful sail from Ibiza to Mallorca. We initially planned to leave the 13th but we didn't trust the forecast of 40+ knots of wind and local thunderstorms. Boy were we happy we waited. While we started with high waves and not a lot of wind, after only a few miles the sea calmed and the wind started to blow. We cruised, reaching, all the way to Mallorca.

    Our first anchorage: Portals Vells. We were welcomed by the Noordster where we were immediately invited onboard for a drink and eventually dinner right when we dropped an anchor. We gladly accepted the invitation. Can't really think of anything better after a day of sailing than to be able to join for drinks and dinner 😍 Well, as it turns out it can get better. Because we suddenly heard violin music. Apparently our neighbor boat is a travelling and sailing violin artist! It was magical. He even tool requests, so Bart asked him if he could play Fragile by Sting. It was really cool!!

    The next day we worked a bit in the morning before exploring the beautiful caves and cliffs. The caves were dug out to use the stones for the cathedral in Palma de Mallorca. Legend has it that a ship from Genoa once got caught in a storm and promised to build an altar once they found a safe haven. They did so in the anchorage of Portals Vells and there does still seem to be some remains of an altar in the caves. We were able to enjoy the anchorage for two days before the swell started to come in and we decided to move on to the next stop on Mallorca.    Baca selengkapnya

    Ibiza X: Cala de Sant Vincent ⚓

    14–15 Mar, Spanyol ⋅ 🌧 14 °C

    Just around the corner, if there would have been a path one of us could have walked, from Punta Grossa we anchor the next morning in Cala San Vincent. We had a very good night but today the swell and wind will come in more from the north so we will be better protected on this side.

    We don't have a lot to say about this anchorage. We can sum it up in three bullets:
    ° It rained
    ° We checked the weather
    ° It rained, also when we did dare to go for a walk

    Good news is, it looks like tomorrow, March 15th, we can cross to Mallorca!

    More good news, we fixed the water maker, again, and now are tanks are pretty much filled with our freshly produced water!    Baca selengkapnya

    Ibiza IX: Cala Punta Grossa ⚓

    13–14 Mar, Spanyol ⋅ 🌧 14 °C

    In the morning we check the weather update. No more gusts of 55 knots, the thunderstorms are still coming. We're not going, yet. The Noordster does decide to go, they leave early while we turn around for another hour of sleep. After we wake up we get ready to leave. With us, you might guess it correctly, Beautje. However, it's the last time we will set sail together for a while. They are heading back to the mainland to bay their new boat and sell their current Beautje! Very exciting.

    We don't have to go far, only a mile or 6. In the distance we see Simon Hendrick. Behind us Square One (an x-yacht) is catching up with us. Just before we turn starboard to go into the anchor buy Square One passes us and we wave each other goodbye until the next time👋🏽

    Finally, we have not only made it to an anchorage of my dreams we are actually tucked in, snug like a bug, not going anywhere. And we're really not going anywhere for a while since it is raining again. After a couple of hours we decide to lift the dinghy into water and go for a walk. This makes for some beautiful pictures! And it was just a pretty spot, we had a very good night as well! (We also got rained on during our walk, but I guess that's the part we better leave out to make the story better 😉)    Baca selengkapnya

    Ibiza VIII: Portinatx ⚓

    8–13 Mar, Spanyol ⋅ 🌬 16 °C

    In Portinatx almost our entire Dutch fleet , and more, from Sines is reunited. We are welcomed by Square One and Simon Hendrick when we enter the bay. We saw SH for the last time in Villa Real in Portugal and Square One in Gibraltar, it has been a while. We quickly get invited for a hike to the Lighthouse later that day with the both of them. The cliffs are impressive again and the views amazing. The way back turns out to be quite adventurous as we're slipping and sliding our way back down to sea level again. Still pretty impressed by five year old crew member of the Simon Hendrick for sticking with us! 😉 Obviously, we had to cheers to our accomplishments at the local terrace in the sun.

    On Sunday we take on the invitation of Square One to go on another hike to the other side of the bay. Over there it looks like we have travelled to the moon. The rock formations are very pointy and there are crater like holes in the cliffs. At some point we think we see a lookout point and we decided to follow a trail that turned out not to be a trail at all... We're doing fine climbing over the rocks and through the bushes but at some point, and at this point we had already passed the point of no return, we have to go pretty much straight up. I don't remember how but I somehow find my way up there and soon I am followed by Bart, Harmen and Kiki. We're glad we didn't look down on our way up, let's leave it at that.

    The next day Beautje, Noordster and Watertuin join our Dutch party. It is pretty cool to have 6 Dutch boats anchored in a bay in Ibiza, but at the same time it also feels kind off invasive.. But, the fun part is that Simon Hendrick invited all of us! over to their boat for a fun night of drinks, good conversations and lots of laughs. Bart joins the party a couple of hours before I do as I get stuck, willingly, working on our website www.bartandbel.com!

    The next day Beautje and us leave to go to just one bay around the corner, over there we should get better protections against the wind and swell. Beautje gets there, of course, before us and lets us know over the VHF that there isn't enough space seagrass and depth wise. So we both turn around and sail the 2,5 miles back to Portinatx. It was a beautiful day for a sail, so no harm done.

    The last two days we spend playing football and volleyball on the beach, hiking to the anchorage around the corner we didn't go to and enjoying each others company. On the last night together we share our travel plans. Simon Hendrick and Square One are going southeast, Beautje West and Noordster and us are debating whether we will leave for Mallorca the next day. Around 4pm the next day the forecast warns for gusts of 55 knots near Palma de Mallorca. Additionally there is some thunder on its way. We both decide to wait for tomorrow morning's weather update and decide then...    Baca selengkapnya
