so we're going to go to mallorca now which is uh the biggest balearic islands we plan to stay for
a month there and this crossing from ibiza to majorca is about 50 nautical miles and we plan
to tackle this one in 10 to 11 hours more or less today is not a day with a lot of wind but we hope
the forecast is correct and we have 10 knots of wind so we have our janiker it's already installed
so we can nice sail to mallorca today we're gonna arrive in mallorca at a place called santa ponza
yeah and patricia are you ready to go for the sale woohoo
we had just arrived here in mallorca it was a great crossing we didn't have any
waves i think it was about point two point three uh so it was nothing and in terms of
wins we were able to sail sixty percent of the time and the other forty percent remote
as we arrived santa ponza in mallorca and starving for some good food patricia jumped right in and
started to prepare a risotto for us when we heard and saw a big blue vessel coming to the beach
like everywhere we go there's like a customs boat that stopped by to check the documentation
so this one went by but didn't stop us but we have been boarded already twice
and of course they had to come here uh once again that was the third time
uh this season already the guys from aduana come here and visit us the thing is i told them that
uh we were boarded about two weeks ago so they checked the documentation that uh everything is
fine and uh there's really not a whole lot to see so they decided to leave so we were we didn't have
to go through all the documentation again because it does take a long time they're right here
behind me leaving right now going into all of the boats here in the bay checking the documentation
the the insurances and also the taxes so uh we're good to go and enjoy a good risotto
here enjoy before we put our dinghy on the water and go explore this charming little town
and guys one thing that i highly recommend is to get one of those because everywhere we go we take
it out of joy and we explore the surroundings and we go very far away we even installed this
extra battery that we have here and now we can go for about 30 35 kilometers maybe 20 23 miles
uh into the city so we really get to see a lot with the electric scooters pretty good as we
went around the bay we checked on joy once again to make sure all was good yes she was floating
quietly just waiting for us to return there are like interesting marinas like this one that is
inside of the rock it's called club nautical and you can see the channel that goes in very tight
uh i don't think it's much for a big catamarans or anything like that but it's very very charming
good morning good morning how are you guys and today we're gonna go visit palma which is the city
here in palma de mallorca where we have that big cathedral over there it's supposed to be beautiful
we found that anchorage right in front of town uh crossing our fingers that is uh going to be
a good anchorage so we're leaving here santa ponza which was very good to us not a whole lot of wind
nothing in terms of uh swell so we're gonna have like just a walk in the park
going over there to palma in about two to three hours we arrive over there and some people ask us
how we find our anchorage spots we use an app that is called navili which makes
it much easier to get it right and learn about the anchorage before we get there
what a beautiful place to anchor right in front of this magnificent 14th central cathedral as the
most emblematic building in mallorca's capital it is one of europe's tallest gothic structure
and many call it the cathedral of lights because of its 61
stained glass windows definitely a must to visit when around here
we spent a lot of time admiring this place and at night it gets even more
beautiful in my opinion as it stands out with all of the lights around it
we woke up with new neighbors beside us the iconic
ocean pearl an innovative design 41 meter super yachts that some love it and others find it ugly
before saying goodbye to this awesome place we admired once again the cathedral
and we started to realize we were actually not accustomed anymore to the sounds of a big city
so it's time to go find that deserted beach
with the blue to spread into waters that my york is so famous for me
this
i'm doing like the last check see if all the uh the always forgetting english and the
real terms down the windows that go up and down or closed and uh checking my bill just because i
forgot to check last time see if there's any water or anything like that we've been cruising a lot
and it's always good to see that there's no water whatsoever inside of the beaches so just
check them and always good so we're gonna raise anchor and we're gonna go to our next destination
here at joy we divide things up patricia raises the anchor
i move joy closer to the anchor in order to avoid forcing our windlass and so on
patricia is also learning all the things at joy we believe that to be very important although
we end up performing exactly the same tasks over and over
but it is super important for a couple to know how to do everything aboard
what's up captain don't get me wrong it does take a little bit of time and practice
beautiful day but at the end it all becomes very natural and easy so we have arrived in paradise
we sailed for about four hours from palma here to this place that is called
this drinks that is called placa de strengths don't know if i'm pronouncing that one right but
it's beautiful the water is like translucent it's blue i think we're gonna be here for two days and
after that we're gonna be visiting a national park they have over there which is an island called
cabrera which is called cabrera you gotta get a permit to go in and also reserve a buoy so
we're gonna spend one night there and then we're gonna go do the east coast of palma de mallorca
some people say that it is very difficult to exercise while cruising look who found a way
to keep moving every day and not to forget to burn some calories while in paradise
go go go go go go go go
yes creativity is key when living on a boat just can't get lazy
today we're gonna sail to cabrera island which is that island over there and the wind is going in
that coming from that direction so uh we're going against the wind so we're gonna do a little zigzag
we had our gennaker up but i'm gonna switch into our code zero so since the angle is a
little bit tighter i think the code zero is gonna do better for us so let's see
oh
connected and ready to go
so how are you feeling good is it shaky yes
it looks like it's never like we planned because uh i removed the gennaker i put the code zero on
because i felt like there was not gonna be a lot of wind today and we got here and the wind was
much stronger so we decided not even to put the cold zero up and we're going with our uh genoa
and we're sailing at six knots with uh 10 knots of wind so it's gonna be good we're going much
faster than we expected so we're gonna get to this island cabrera in uh 15 more minutes
what
the island of caprera is made up of 19 inlets
just 10 kilometers south of mallorca cabrera was declared a national park in 1991. it is definitely
a dream place that offers unspoiled nature and the feeling of being very far from civilization
be free
time to say goodbye to this paradise we wanted to stay longer but we were granted
only 24 hours permit and we had to respect it so other visitors could enjoy it as well
after we spent our awesome night here at isla de cabrera by the way if you guys ever come
to my uh to my orca don't miss out this island it's very easy for you to go online and make a
reservation on the buoy and also get a navigation permit don't don't miss out because it's beautiful
it's probably one of the nicest anchorages that we stopped here uh so far in the balearic islands
it's really nice so now we're gonna go to puerto colon uh everything seems to be very far here in
mallorca because palma de mallorca the island is so much bigger than ibiza and the other islands
so it takes a long time to get to one place to the other so we're gonna be navigating for about uh 20
nautical miles and it's gonna take us between four and a half and five hours to get there but the day
is beautiful we have some wind and we're gonna be going with our sails up we're just gonna turn the
corner here and point to uh porto colon but that and much more we'll show you on our next video
