Home Again on EcstaSea

 We arrived back home on EcstaSea on Friday, December 13th in Palma, Mallorca. She fared well without us for the last 2 months and after some service and minor repairs she is ready for the Atlantic crossing to the Caribbean.

Our good friend Dominic from Alghero, Sardinia came for a short visit to Palma to say "Goodbye" to us. He just spent the day, so it was short, but as always, full of  heart and mutual loving connection. Thank you Dom, for your visit and for your continuing friendship…
 We revisited all of our favorite places and people in Palma, saying "so long" for now. It is time to move on, but is bittersweet as we leave the Mediterranean. We have spent 6 wonderful summers here and have deep gratitude for all of the places, people we have experienced.

We have 2 great guys who will be helping us sail EcstaSea across the Atlantic, Mariusz and Xavier. Mariusz will leave with us from Palma and Xavier will join us in the Canary Islands. We appreciate their skill and expertise and expect to have a safe and fun time together.
