THE CARIBBEAN OF THE MED? | Ep.52 - sailing documentary

Many people promised us that Formentera is the Caribbean of the Med: blue water, sandy beaches and palm trees. Well they weren't wrong! This place is incredibly beautiful and the water... is like a swimming pool, even at 8 meters deep. Incredible!! But well, it's high season in Spain and the Spanish love their power boats and jet skis. So you either join them or glue anything that's not screwed in yet to the surface and jump in the water to get some time out from all the wobbling. And with water like that, it is no punishment to be swimming! So today we'll show you the Balearics from a different side: HIGH SEASON! Last year we sailed around Menorca and Mallorca in autumn, but this year (due to well.. circumstances) we ended up in the Balearics in high season instead of spring. Was it a bad idea to sail over to Formentera and Ibiza in August? Time will tell! At least the water is to die for :) Check out https://shop.seethelittlethings.com and find something you like.

Our goal is to circumnavigate the world on our 36ft Beneteau. Sailboat life is super different from land life. It is fantastic and pretty rough at times. see the little things tries to FIND HAPPINESS BY DOING THINGS THAT ARE HARD. Join us on this journey and let's find happiness together!
