Cala Figuera, Mallorca – Puerto Pollenca, Mallorca via Puerto Pollenca & Cala Figuera, Mallorca There are lots of proverbs to describe the cruising lifestyle. Sometimes they speak of exploring new cultures, or being at one with nature, other times these proverbs focus on topping up tans and gin and tonics on the poop deck. There is one however that stands above all others and describes the lifestyle perfectly. Cruising is just “boat maintenance in exotic locations”....

Cala Es Trenc, Mallorca – Cala de ses Ortigues, Mallorca via Palmanova & Camp de Mar, Mallorca When Henry Ford first created the Model-T he didn’t offer a range of options or trims. His marketing however stated that you could have it in any colour; as long as it’s black. Similar could be said for Mallorca, you can have any colour you like; as long as it’s blue. Blue skies, blue seas, blue horizons, blue birds, and blue boats. Everything is blue....

Wonderful that the Balearic Islands are doing all they can to keep their waters clean, but sad that some boats at anchor are leaving rubbish in the sea. #stoptheplastictide #takeyourtrashwithyou #keeptheoceanclean #sailingmallorca

Port de Pollença, Mallorca – Cala Es Trenc, Mallorca via Cala De S’Agulla, Portocolom & Cala Nau, Mallorca Contrast. That’s the control on your TV which enables you to either make everyone look like they’re out of the psychedelic 60’s or drain their colour taking them back to the greyscale days of the last century. Sailing in Mallorca we’ve experienced contrast everywhere we have gone; from suffering under the searing sun to sitting under shade; from silky smooth seas to bouncy bays; from scary skies scattering soil to sparkling sand under our ship; from impressive isolation to horrendous hordes....

Port de Pollença, Mallorca – Port de Pollença, Mallorca via Ila Alcanada, Mallorca Yo-yo’s can be brilliant toys. They return again and again to the safety of your hand and when release them they can perform all sorts of tricks. Over time however Yo-Yo’s do become tiresome. Ultimately, they just go back and forth, they travel the same route and while they’re in your hand it can’t do anything else. Circumstances have turned our lives into a yo-yo existence....
