This was our third full moon here in the harbor at Aguadulce. And what a treat as it was also a partial lunar eclipse.

Just starting to eclipse...
At her maximum eclipse...

Now EcstaSea was getting antsy to sail, as were we, but still the wind and waves (which govern our lives here) were not allowing us to leave the harbor. So we stayed put for another week. And FINALLY we sailed away for the first time this summer on July 26th.
We had an easeful overnight sail to the Balearic Island of Formentera. And since big winds were coming we were fortunate to grab a mooring ball in our favorite little island of Espalmador. And here we rested for a few days, getting our sea legs back under us.
Then we moved up to the island of Ibiza where we had to keep moving around the island as the wind and waves were changing everyday. Thankfully we know the island well and the best coves to hide out in.
One of our favorite places is Cala Tarida...
Last year we had bought our paddle board, Itiwit. Here's the Captain paddling around before someone stole her from the boat while we were here in Cala Tarida...
We left her in the water connected to the boat so it was easy for someone to come and cut the cord. We heard that 2 other paddle boards were stolen the same night. It is the first time in 13 years that we have ever had anything stolen. So we can only believe that someone needed her more than us.
Another favorite cala is on the north side of Ibiza, Cala Charracca...
So we spent several days before crossing over to the island of Mallorca.
The Captain growing a beard. How handsome he is! Although it didn't last long before he shaved it off...
This is cala Egos on Mallorca, which is one of our favorite coves to anchor out in...
And it was here in Palma, Mallorca that we once again celebrated full moon in August. How do the months go by so quickly?
Full Moon at the Cathedral in Palma...
Don't miss the full moon in the background...
We count our time in accordance with the monthly cycles of Full Moon. We stop, gaze up into the Light and see where we are "NOW", and intend where we are going. Thank you Mother Moon for your gift of fullness to light our way...
