After we spent an awesome night here at isla de cabrera, now we're going to go to
puerto colon if we can get there, everything seems to be very far here in mallorca because
palma de mallorca the island is so much bigger than Ibiza and the other balearic islands,
so it takes a long time to get to one place to the other so we're going to be navigating
for about 20 nautical miles and it's going to 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 porto colon
All
right, the code zero is up ! It's great whenever you have the right setup uh of sails in your
boat so we have the gennaker and we have the code zero here. Today the angle of the wind
for the entire time to puerto colon is gonna be around 50 to 60 degrees so wind is coming
from that direction over there more or less so the cold zero is the sale for us to sail today,
have a look over there we have eight knots of wind and we're sailing between five and six
it's a great setup because there's not a whole lot of waves here and the wind is perfect for the
code zero so i don't know if you guys remember I mentioned that we're gonna take between four
and a half five hours to get there now we're gonna get to our first detination in
more or less , three or three hours and a half, now that time to relax enjoy the day here.
The next morning we woke up and Patricia decided to cook us an american breakfast like the ones we
used to have at home, a nice omelette with toast and some fresh juice. Yeah i'll have some omelette
music
the watercolor is something out of this world just a simple breakfast turns into an event to
us as we take our time to enjoy and contemplate how lucky we are to be able to experience all of
this aboard JOY, we enjoyed this anchorage so much that we decided to stay put for a few days here
and today we woke up engulfed by a deep and dense fog that in only 30 minutes totally dissipated.
Hey let's go for a walk at the beach
Come on that's not the same Patricia I met a year ago that did not want
to sail much because was a little afraid, What is happening to you?
so we had a little issue here with the chain what happens is the chain started to pile up all the
way up and the chain wouldn't be able to go slide to the side making it impossible for the anchor
to be reised. Problem solved and we're on the way so we just had to open here to unpile the chain
but this is very very hard because of the small space you have to get in. So it takes a little
to kick it to the side making room for the chain that comes on top of it.
and now we can finally say goodbye to this lovely anchorage
all right i'm going to interrupt this video real quick to thank our today sponsor we have been

easy sail here to the northern tip of Mallorca we're gonna spend the night here and then explore
uh the beaches and the colors they have here up north in mallorca and then wait for next
week because again it's gonna come another big blow we're gonna see what we're gonna do
if we're gonna go to the marina or we're gonna find a collar that will allow us to stay there
with winds up to 40 knots but all good uh we're really having a good time we're really enjoying
uh cruising here the the this island whenever we started that down there we didn't think
we're gonna stay long but as we started to go up you know it was like one place
more beautiful than the other and we decided to stay and visit more of my orca so for the
next week we're still here and in a few minutes we're going to be arriving to our next anchorage
Here we were very fortunate to spend the night by another lagoon 46 called Aurora we had the
pleasure to meet Ben and Angelina from Germany and that was just great the next morning Ben
invited me to teach me how to e-foil so there I was for my first class very early in the morning
and not before long we had to say goodbye to them as they had plans to cross to sardinia in italy
and now it's our turn to move forward again
and it's great that this island surprises us every day that we spend here in mallorca
the rock formations that we see here we haven't seen anywhere else the mountains are pretty high
near the anchorages and you have a lot of green around so we're really enjoying getting to see
this side of majorca we were not planning actually to come here we're gonna go straight to
to menorca as i had mentioned before but i'm very glad that we stopped here
places like this really making it all worth so we're going to continue down
this coast all the way to port de SOLLER which is a famous port here in majorca
and wait for that strong wind to arrive we may go to the marina for one day or two days but it will
be good also to be in the marina for a night so we can wash clothes we can fill up with water wash
the boat and everything else so we're excited about the next few days it's going to be good
it's going to be beautiful and we're very glad that we're spending more time here in Mallorca.
it was so calm whenever we arrived in SOLLER
even though the anchorage was very full we took our time to find a spot on sand
because we knew this anchorage was very notorious for bad anchor holding
as usual Patricia fed the fish and also the ducks that came to say hello
and we watched the sunset through the narrow entrance of the port of Soller
and tonight we're supposed to have a lot of wind coming our way here so we decided
to get a slot here in the marina, now two nights ago we had that issue with a catamaran
that decided to simply throw anchor at wherever they pleased in front of other
boats not respecting some basic anchoring rules, really creating a lot of problems in terms of
dragging anchor and so on but that and much more I'll show you on our next video.
