STORM INBOUND on Mallorca! | (actually EP.48)

SUBSCRIBE for WEEKLY SAILING videos! Don't forget to click on the BELL NOTIFICATION :) Aaaand we are back in Mallorca, Balearic Islands! We know it is confusing that we keep switching between story lines (Greece and the Balearics), but this week a subtropical storm (or subtropical hurricane, subtropical cyclone), a “Mediterranean Hurricane” or so called Medicane, was expected to cause disaster and catastrophe over Spain and its islands. We had heard of this phenomenon earlier this year, when friends told us that the Medicane “Zorbas” caused some serious damage in Greece last year and sank several boats. When we heard a Medicane was expected to strike Mallorca, we did some research. After all, expecting a storm force 12 Medicane is something to be cautious about. We are no weather experts (yet ;)), but we would like to explain what we learned and what we decided to do with a storm inbound in Mallorca. Should we be hiding? Or will it turn out to be not as bad as expected.. We head off to Port Andratx to wait it out. One of the most beautiful ports we have been so far! With the mountains all around this massive natural bay and an epic view of the sunset every night, we are not too sad about riding out the storm here for a week. Only the BEST BOOK for sailors!

Six months ago we started our journey in Greece with little sailing experience, figuring things out as we go, not really knowing what we're doing. Our goal is to circumnavigate the world via the wind, always being surrounded by the ocean. Sailboat life is super different from land life and can be pretty rough at times. see the little things is the documentary of our endeavour of simplifying life, decelerating pace, and practicing mindfulness. Follow our adventures when you are curious to see how we mess up and fix it up again! We are currently still sailing Greece, but will head over to Italy and beyond soon.
