Route – Wolf in Progress

Mallorca to mainland Spain

Ocean Wolf is on route from Mallorca to mainland Spain.

Cabrera

Cabrera is a small island south of Mallorca.

It is a protected sanctuary.

This time of the year it doesn’t have many visitors. I.e. Ocean Wolf was the 2nd ship visiting.

After staying in Sardinia Ocean Wolf is moving on. The storms passed and wrecked havoc in Valencia. There was quite a bit of wind at the dock but calmer weather has arrived hence it time to make a move.

Near the coast of Sardinia there was good cellphone reception which was convenient.

Ocean Wolf has been at sea for a few days and has been heading East. Mallorca is now (nearly in sight).

Sardinia

Sailing from Malta to Sardinia went as planned although some motoring was needed when the speed dropped below one knot.

Ocean Wolf arrived at the southern tip of Sardinia. A very (very) peaceful place far from worldly distractions.

Bye bye Malta

After heaving spent the Xmas and new year period in Malta Ocean Wolf is heading East (ish).

While on Malta Coffee Circus Porto offered a safe haven to the crew when away from the water by offering a great community, great coffee and Pastéis de nata.

Malta is great!

From the marina in Ta’ Xbiex it was a 2 minute walk to the divecenter where we filled up the dive tanks. A little bit of diving was done: the periodic cleaning of the props and some fundives were take care of.

And the climate was sorted out such that there is some heating as winter is coming. Most impressive was the next business day delivery when ordering a part from Spain. Lefkas eat your heart out!

Ocean Wolf had planned departure by January 4th but it took few days waiting for the wind and waves to turn in a desirable direction.

With a steady wind in the forecast the first night sail should be good…
