Is this why the Mediterranean is so difficult to sail? #45

This week, we are crossing from Mallorca to Menorca, and join our friends on Sea Odyssey again only to find ourselves in the jolliest of anchorages we’ve ever experienced.

Sailing with Superyachts and Charter Boats in the bay of Palma de Mallorca. #42

The beauty of what we do is that a lot of times, we end up in places we didn’t even know existed and that we would have never have gone to otherwise. Like when we ended up sailing among some of the biggest superyachts in the World in Mallorca, between Port d'Andratx and Palma de Mallorca. Th...

We had heard about the crazy winds of the Med, and we get the full effect of them in this week’s episode. We leave Formentera unsure of where to get good shelter from an upcoming blow and although we find absolute paradise in a cove on Ibiza, we end up in a bit of a pickle when the winds reach ove...
