Visited by an owl







Underway between Barcelona and Ibiza, this enormous owl came to visit us. We were heading headwind, motoring, with around 10-12 knots of wind in our face when this bird showed up from nowhere, desperately attempting to catch our arch with her claws to get some rest. Every time she tried, she lost her grip again and got kicked back in the air by the strong wind. It was totally heartbreaking to see her fail time after time while she got weaker and weaker. After maybe ten attempts, her power was gone and she got pushed backed so hard that we lost the sight of her somewhere far away in the ocean.

From Ibiza to Formentera to Palma


We went over to our friends James and Leslie and their Hallberg Rassy 38 last night in Formentera, just outside of Ibiza island. We ended up drinking three bottles of wine and one small of rum so you only imagine how the 12 hour bumpy ride to Palma felt this morning. At least for me.. Headache extravaganza. (Alex doesn't drink too much. Good for him.) Now: late lunch in Real Club Nautico Palma, Mallorca./T

Ibiza


Hi there, we've just arrived in the land of madness! Late after the original plan, but right in time for a friends birthday celebration on Cocoon later tonight. And this is the catch of today. This beast woke us up seven in the morning and right now we're just about to prepare a tuna feast for our friends on the boat in the harbor of Ibiza. Talk to you later.
