Gibraltar – Canary Islands

Most of the work has been completed on the ship, only a few repairs left to do. This means we can start, all that is left is to lift the ship to have the steering gear checked by the factory for the previous fault. We left La Linea early on Tuesday morning, September 8th. At…

Goodbye Mediterranean Sea

It’s Autumn here. The weather is windier, fogger cooler, especially in the morning and evening, however there is summer at noon.Unfortunately, we are still near Gibraltar in Spanish waters. Time will pass and the weather will just become wilder. We hope we can leave on Tuesday, there are encoring signs. The ship had to be…

Palermo

09.07.2020 04:40 We have left for Palermo, the sun is rising, no wind at all and the sea is completely still. 07:34 Dolphins at the tip of the boat! Sometimes they look like a group of synchronised swimmers. You can clearly see them below the calm water too. What an experience to watch them! They…

Aeolian Islands

07/04/2020 In the morning we continued our sail journey to the Aeolian Islands. We arrived in the city of Lipari in the afternoon. We looked around the bay in front of the city, the anchorage didn’t seem safe in the manic boat traffic which constantly made large waves. Every 20 minutes, a hydrofoil, an hourly…

Otranto – Straits of Messina

1st July – 4th July 2020 We left Otranto in the morning and arrived to Santa Maria de Leuca in the afternoon. We stopped to fill the fuel tanks and visited our Sukosan neighbour, Martin’s boat in the harbour. It was really hot and because we were all quite tired, decided to stop for a…

We have started!

27.06.2020 We decided not to wait any longer and start the big adventure. We had a last swim in Sukošan Bay and then we headed to Vis. We have left. Not all the works are finished on the boat, but we felt that we are running out of time and we also needed this change…

Time to depart

We are just about to start the big adventure. Our plan is to be at Gibraltar within 6-8 weeks. We made a big shopping which will hopefully last for the next month or so and managed to find safe storage space for everything. As we need more space for our supplies we discover more and…

Molat

A perfectly peaceful little island. The main square of the village is the biggest surprise as we walk up on the streets from the harbour. First, there is a war monument with the yellow bell tower in the background. Another couple of steps and there is the main square, on the right hand side a…

Pag

This is a lovely bay close to Pag with a wonderful, sandy beach. Usually there isn’t a lot of boat traffic in the area, possibly because of the gusty and unpleasant bora wind blowing down from the mountains. Since the weather forecast was good, we decided to visit the place and spend a night here….

The first solar panels are up and running

In a bit of a drizzle but finally the technicians managed to install the first solar panels in place. First the two middle one which was easier to do. We are overjoyed with them! The other two on the sides will need a bit of further planning and playing with numbers etc to have the…
