Articles about the region 'Balearic Islands'

This video is about the beginning of our world circumnavigation starting in Palma de Mallorca in December of 2014. We stopped over in Gibraltar for fuel before doing the passage to Puerto Calero, Lanzarote in the Canary Islands. Our sailing was fast and wonderful with about 5 days total time for the 1,100 nm passage.

After a tremulous departure from Genoa: a stubborn bow-thruster, an untested crew, and truly ugly weather, we found ourselves regrouping in Barcelona. Despite difficulties, we'd successfully traversed an angry Gulf of Lyon, but there is still much work ahead if we are to free ourselves from frigid grip of the Mediterranean in winter.
