The Balearic islands We have spent a wonderful summer in the Balearic islands. It started with Ibiza. Ibiza is known to be a party island, flakes, mass tourism, with wonderful weather and beaches. It’s true. But thankfully for me it’s not only that. Below, few pictures of mega yachts that we have seen in Ibiza. You […]
This part is the least interesting of the trip so far. The south part of Spain has been completely invaded by massive tourism and there are only few places to moor a boat…. the east coast of Morocco is basically a desert without bays to stop, so not the best part of Morocco either being […]
We have spent the winter in Algarve-Portugal. This place is really nice. The weather, including winter, is really good, it’s not so expensive, people are nice, there are things to see. We have swum in the ocean the whole winter, a bit fresh but warmer than in Iceland during summer =) Unfortunately when place are […]
We left Iceland in July, during the Icelandic « summer » and we quit France few days before autumn arrived. Same with Spain. We spent a month in Lisbon and we sailed to Algarve (south Portugal) when the cold and bad weather arrived. We are like nomads following the season. Visiting, bicycling, swimming, diving, relaxing in sun, […]

So we followed the weather forecast really carefully before deciding to cross in the beginning of October. Kata Lind […]

Almost the title of a good and famous Icelandic movie, Reykjavík-Rotterdam. Beginning of July 2016, it’s time to go. After a big month being on standby waiting for a good weather forecast, Neptune gives us green light. 6 days of good weather with favorable winds to go to Fastnet witch is 900NM in straight line […]
We have built Kata Lind in Iceland, and of course we started sailing her in Iceland. This page is a small abstract of our navigation in Iceland. In many spots all around Iceland and close to the harbor, you can see whales. All kind of Whales. It’s really popular now and […]
