We made it to the islands! The last two weeks have been great. I have
really enjoyed my time with Jeb and Wendy and did not realize just how
much I miss them! (tears). Well the last few weeks have not been
uneventful. In fact there had been lots going on.
Ibiza ... great anchoring
Wendy scubing with Joseph...
We
traveled 80 miles from the Spanish mainland to reach the islands. I have
always wanted to go to Ibiza I just never imaged it would be on a boat
with two kids. The first night we anchored in a beautiful little cove.
We went snorkeling and watched the movie Croods on the computer. It was
a very nice night. The following day we made our way down the coast
towards Cala Blanco another anchorage. As we arrived to drop anchor our
engine wires got hot and started a small smokey spark. Joseph was
wonderful in reacting. He was able to cool down the wires and we spent
the night in the cove. The following day a charter captain from Valencia
gave us a tow out of the cove and we sailed all the way to Puerto De
San Antonio. We spent two nights in port and regrouped. Joseph and the
mechanic replaced all the wires and we were up and running again. I am
so grateful that Joseph is an electrical engineer and able to fix so
much. He truly has everyone's safety in mind when we are on the boat.
The
kids were great and very patient as we waited in port. We went to the
beach and checked out San Antonio. I could not get over the amount of
young English people who were there. They were all drinking so
much...and just party...it is Ibiza!
We have now reached
Mallorca and it is beautiful here! We have been swimming and exploring
the island. Wendy is a natural snorkeler and Jeb loves checking out all
the fish. We feed them old bread and the fish swarm around the boat. It
is really like being in heaven! I am feeling very blessed and looking
forward to being home with my family for the week.
Hope everyone at home is healthy, happy, and safe!
