Almost Losing the Boat to Brutal Weather in Ibiza
I anchored up in Cala Benirras in Ibiza and ended up almost getting blown ashore by some brutal winds in a storm.
Mediterranean
Riding Out a Storm at Anchor in Cefalu
We got new crew onboard, left Mindelo and ended up riding out a storm at anchor in Cefalu after an unpleasant stay in the marina. This marina turned out to be unsafe in bad weather and we all learned some important lessons here.
Exploring Northern Sicily
The end of the season was getting close and I wanted to finish it with more crew and to go circumnavigating the magnificent island of Sicily.
Sailing in Southern Sardinia and Passage to Favignana
The plan was to sail around the southern side of Sardinia for a couple of weeks, then make the passage to the biggest of the Aegadian Islands in Sicily, Favignana. I also had to park Ellidah in Cagliari for a few weeks to fly off from work.

We went for a passage from Menorca to Sardinia in search for some proper Italian Pizza! Also, we were excited about exploring this beautiful island.

We sailed with crew and friends and explored some of the coolest places on Mallorca. Including an underwater cave called Cova dels Coloms!
Did Neptune Save us From a Disaster?
Did Neptune save us from a disaster? Failing anchoring equipment could have lead to a serious accident, but something wanted it otherwise.
We sailed from Denia to Ibiza, failed to anchor and then continued through the night to Mallorca.
Sailing And Exploring The Balearic Islands: Ibiza
I went sailing single handed from Formentera to Ibiza to go exploring some of the most incredible spots in the Balearic Islands.
Sailing and Exploring the Balearic Islands: Formentera
The plan was to go sailing and exploring the southern of the Balearic Islands, Formentera.
We enjoyed the beauty of Cala Soana, La Savina, Platja de Llevant and Es Pujols in company with good friends. I had problems with my Suzuki outboard and went on a mission to buy a new one.
Castles, Beer And Goodbyes In Alicante
For a touristy city, I really like this one. It is full of life with its countless streets with restaurants, caffes, bars and cultural sights. The first thing you see when entering Alicante is the massive castle on the hill.
Castillo de Santa Bárbara is from the Bronze age and was built in the 9th century when the Iberian Peninsula was in control from 711 to 1296. That’s pretty old.
