We love sailing and so do the kids so we bought a new sailing boat!
We also found that the local sailing club was more expensive, for 3 kids to sail for 2 months than buying a second hand optimist.
We are so excited about this new toy and hope that it wil...

After an epic sail through the Mediterranean, from Spain in the West to Turkey in the East (and back again!) - through Greece, Italy, Sardinia, Balearics, Aeolian Islands, visiting ancient monument...
Finally the wind turns so we can sail from Sardinia to Spain and Irenka reflects on what life is like on a sailing boat when you are away from land. We arrive in Formentera and rest before filling up with water and provisions in Ibiza and stay there to sh...
