Ibiza - Lisbon

At 09.30 we departed from Ibiza. The island was out of sight after a short while. The deckchairs and tables are secured for sea and the crew is doing maintenance. We have five days to sail the 840 miles to Lisbon. It is too band the wind is light to give us a good sped under sail. The predictions for the coming days are not favorable for sailing. We enjoy the trip and the missing wind is compensated by the engine. After all these days with a fully booked ship it feels a bit empty with only the crew. Once in a while it is possible for the family of our crew to join us on a delivery. That is a good opportunity to see what their daughter or son is doing.
