Tomorrow we’ll fly back to Switzerland. It’s not easy to leave the pleasant, still summerlike temperatures here in Aquadulce, but we can always come back. The almost 3 weeks spending in the Marina de Aquadulce convinced us that we made the right decision to spend the winter here. The place ...

We started our Spanish coastal tour in Calp (last update). From there we sail to Torrevieja with a short stop over at Alicante. In Torrevieja we plan to go into the harbor. Unfortunately only the Club Nautico Marina International has a space for us, maybe because it’s the most expensive. ...

The nice weather only lasts for a few days till the next strong winds are forecasted, – this time from the east to north east. Thus our visit to the west coast is short as we don’t trust the forecast in regard to wind direction and force one bit any ...

Ibiza is well known being a party island, we didn’t know that that’s also true for Formentera. Unfortunately the parties here are not ashore but in the bay. We didn’t have so much noise in a bay ever as in Cala Soana at Formentera, – and that till the early ...

We arrive at Valencia Marina del Norte on August 2nd after a nice sail from Ibiza. First we go to the petrol station to fill up our tank. The prices shown on Navily app were not valid anymore, because they increased the price for around 10 cents in August, – ...

Although we really like Port de Pollenca, there are many other bays with better water quality, – and after some time one also needs different views. Our first try to leave the bay was cut short as after only one night at Cala Vincente (north-west coast of Mallorca) a huge ...

Once again the Golf of Lion was a challenge, but only for us not for our Carré d’As. For us the rather high waves were a trifle frightening, but our Carré d’As was not impressed and sailed along with around 9 knots although close reefed. – Again we’re convinced in ...

Our visit to Corse was sooner finished as planned. We would have enjoyed spending more time at the west coast but the wind decided we’ve to move on. The only reasonable wind window was from May 31 to June 1, afterwards for at least 8 days nothing good. – Really ...

Here and there a bit of all is okay, but there is no reason to exaggerate it. – We’ve got a proper autumn weather, meaning lots of cold fronts are playing around, – one from the west and the other from the east in combination with swell from the south ...
