After another awesome sail in Ibiza, we look for a calm anchorage for the night. Except, the swell is weirdly coming from every direction! We think it might be due to some sort of storm off the coast of Africa. The next day, we set off for Majorca. On the way, we catch a tuna
In episode 27 we encounter some typical Med sailing weather: sunny, warm, and very inconsistent wind! Our speed varies between 1 and 6 knots in the space of seconds, thanks to the crazy gusts that come down from the mountains and valleys of Ibiza. We also explore some caves and sail off our anchor.

Come with us to the wilder side of Ibiza. There’s no beach parties, no clubs and no buildings here. After making some new friends and saying goodbye to Formentera, we head up to Ibiza and test our South Atlantic wind vane, which works a treat. We hope you enjoy this sailing vlog. As always, if you
After getting BUSTED using someone’s mooring (ouch!), we head for Isla Espalmador, aka heaven. What a place! The sandbar and crystal clear water make this spot our absolute favourite spot we took Kittiwake. Check it out! We hope you enjoy this sailing vlog.

What’s it like to live and work on a sailboat in the Mediterranean? Let us show you in this week’s episode! We work, snorkel, make a seashell necklace, sail, pick up an unused mooring ball and explore the beautiful island of Ibiza. Not a bad way of life. We hope you enjoy this sailing vlog. As
KITTIWAKE HAS NOW BEEN SOLD With a heavy heart, we have decided to sell Kittiwake. We have been offered a Tayana 37 from 1976 for a great price – an offer we couldn’t refuse, as we dreamed of owning a Bob Perry design double-ender. We always thought Tayanas, Hans Christians, and Unions were out
After a quick rest to work and tidy the boat up, we sail south to Formentera. We weren’t prepared for how stunning this island would be. The crystal clear water and sandy beaches truly amazed us; we can only compare it to the Bahamas. We also take the chance to do some old school navigation; which
Come sail to Ibiza with us! We encounter lots of different sea conditions – from calms, right up to a force 5. Kittiwake takes good care of us through a 26 hour sail from mainland Spain to the Balearic Islands. There’s some really great sailing at 6 knots in this episode! We hope you enjoy
Last year we managed to find a free marina in Northern Spain. We stayed a few days, enjoying the benefits of land access. This year, we found an unfinished marina up near Mar Menor (love you, Spain!). So why not try and use it? There were no facilities and no access to land, but the
We’ve officially entered the Med! Woohoo! After the initial euphoria, we notice the winds keep building and building… until they reach 30 knots. We surf some big waves at 9.5 knots – our new speed record. We hope you enjoy this episode. As always, if you like this video, please share it, give it a thumbs
