Full Moon in Mallorca






Ok, going to try this blog "thingie" altho i still don't know what i am doing. Oh well.....
We are still exploring the islands of Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera off the coast of Spain and loving every moment of it. Sometimes the adventure feels so fast and free that i am reminded as Osho says to become the "center of the cyclone".

When in port at various towns such as Palma or Ciudedela we enjoy late night dinners and wonderful sangria, as well as the rich history within the old city walls and cathedrals.

But the best is our sailing and discovering the beautiful little calas (coves) all around the islands. We anchor and life becomes sweetly simple as we nakedly play and merge with Yemaya. The water is so crystal clear, you can see the anchor in 30 feet of water. Richard hung my hammock on the deck and swinging with the motion of the waves as we lie and enjoy Jupiter rising in the night sky is awesome.
We anchored off a small island--Isla del Aire and took the dingy to shore and saw millions or rare black lizards that apparently gladly accept tomato pieces from visitors. We didn't do that-- they looked too hungry!!!! Also enjoyed great entertainment from a herd of goats playing on the cliffs all around us. Have also been blessed with dolphins playing alongside the boat as we sailed to Menorca.

Soooo, full moon will find us tomorrow night anchored in a peaceful, private cala to celebrate once again our own light as she reflects it back to us. Life is rich, full and we remain immensely grateful. Where will you be as you celebrate your perfect and complete light???? Let it shine.....

Om Shanti,
Willow and R

Elvis is ALIVE!!!!

It's been a long time and yet seems so short, (really what is the illusion of time anyway) since you last heard from us. Since the magical time of our engagement we have continued to live in the awe and wonder of life at sea, life with one another, life within and without, life....... After the family reunion we returned to the little port of Soller on the west side of the island of Mallorca. We reunited with EcstaSea and once again began our adventures around the Balearic Islands. Still enjoying the warmth of summer, we returned to some of our favorite calas (coves) and swam and sunned and basked in our time as newly engaged beings, playfully enjoying all that is. We had a nice sail over to the island of Ibiza and harbored for a few days in the little town of Porto Santa Eulalia. Sweet little promenade along the ocean front for nice long evening walks and the best coconut gelato ever!! We began exploring around the island in and out of calas and it was here where we first encountered the biggest jellyfish ever!!!! No kidding, they were everywhere and big brown scary creatures that certainly got our attention and respect. We sailed on up and around the north to another little town called Cala Portinix. And i must tell you a big secret----Elvis really is ALIVE and well living in this little town on Ibiza. Here are the photos to prove it:
