We left Alghero with a send-off at the dock of about 6 mariachi singers with instruments singing the “Tequila” song. We realized that they were not really singing for us but for the drunk German neighbor boat, who by the way kept us up every night with their carousing (maybe we are just jealous that they didn’t invite us). Everyone was dancing around and paid them with cans of beer. Really though, it was great fun!!!!
We had a peaceful and gently passage all the way to Spain and the island of Menorca. It’s about 200 nautical miles and took us 26 hours. We wish for each and every soul to experience the timelessness of gliding along under a blanket of stars with nothing but ocean all around you as the sliver of the crescent moon turns golden, dropping peacefully into the ocean.
The “puppies of the ocean”, (dolphins) came to play with us and swim gracefully along our bow just as we entered the waters off of Spain. YEAH!!!!!
It was such an easeful passage, especially after all of our challenges last year in Greece. And yet we still find it interesting how our minds like to mess with us. Shouldn’t there be more of a challenge, if it is really worthy? Is it really as good as we think it is if it is so damn easy? How messed up our old conditioning is and how surprised we are that it still shows up for us, as we really do believe that “Life is supposed to be easeful”. How would our lives change if we didn’t struggle and always try to sail into the wind. Still so much to “let go of” as old habitual patterns of thought that no longer serve us still like to appear.
We enjoyed the port of Mahon for a few nights and met some interesting Aussie sailors who were great fun. In fact, their kangaroo jumped ship and decided to play aboard EcstaSea for a night but alas, we gave her back before we sailed away.
We are anchoring in some of our favorite coves from the time we spent here 3 years ago. The familiarity is comforting and we also look forward to the discovery of new and beautiful spots to drop anchor.
We are off to the island of Mallorca to find a secluded and special cove to experience Full Moon on Wed. June 15th. Enjoy your “fullness of light” wherever you may be……
