  25th August 2010 Ibiza – Mallorca In Cartagena I learned that the best way to the `Golfe du Lion` was by the Baleares. Now that I missed the appointment with my friend I had all options but decided to pass by the Balearic Islands anyway. Crowded harbours and anchorages, I had heard all ...

  8th August 2010 – Cartagena The passage from La Linea to Almeria is as can be expected in the Mediterranean. Selene is moving kindly at a gentle pace of 6 nots with all sails out. We arrive the following day under a bright sun at the `Club de Mar`. Unbelievable the facilities are reserv...

  7th July 2010 - Combarro – Ria de Pontevedra – Selene leaves A Coruna the 3th of July. Quite strong winds are forecast for the next days so I decide to look for shelter in the Ria de Camarinas, Camarinas is a small village, beautifully situated but of no further interest. The smal...
