Cala Culip, Costa Brava Spain Last night, as we sat at anchor, eating Iberian ham and sipping Spanish wine, we decided to change our cruising plan this year and put Berkeley East in Croatia for the winter, rather than Turkey. This will allow us to spend more time in France and see more of Italy, […]
Barcelona, Spain We came back to Barcelona three weeks ago planning to do “a little” boat work, and then travel more in Spain. But Berkeley East had other plans for us. We actually have “traveled” a lot though – to and from the boat yard, to and from the marine store, the paint store, and […]
Our adventure has turned out to be even more than we expected in many ways. In the summer of 2009, after returning from the Caribbean and Venezuela, we developed our plan for the next few years. While we had enjoyed the last two years of island life in the Caribbean, we were looking for something […]
Spain Recently, we have received numerous complaints that this blog has not been kept up to date. We appreciate that people follow our travels so closely, but we make no apologies.

After pounding our way to the north of Mallorca, we waited for calmer seas before heading to Menorca. As a result we hade […]
Mallorca, Spain Mallorca is the largest island in the Balearics, often likened to a continent, rather than simply an island, due to the variety found there. We went to Mallorca to meet up with our friends Mike and Linda on Aquila and spent more than a week traveling, on land and by sea, to visit […]
Ibiza, Spain Ibiza is known for its wild nightlife, and during August people come from all over Europe to party. Expensive clubs, foam parties, the stories are infamous. Our experience in Ibiza was great fun, but a bit more mild than the island’s reputation. We sailed completely around the island enjoying quiet calas (coves), beautiful […]
