The Quintessential Spanish Cove [Ep. 127]
We go for a scooter ride around the island on what could fairly well be described as a lighthouse tour headed by Christian, "the inspector". You don't see it in the videos but Logan absolutely refused to keep up with everyone and would arrive at least 10 minutes late to each lighthouse much to everyones amusement.
Probably the most amazing thing from my point of view was that Simone turned out to be a cosmologist but was so humble that we only found out on the last day after Pete prompted her. I know I have written about this before but I really found that to be incredible, I wish I had gotten the chance to speak to her more about it.
Anyway the place in the picture above is the type of place you dream about when your planning your trip around the mediterranean. Shear cliff face, tied off to the rocks, previously occupied by ancient civilisations, protected from the Mistral, snorkelling heaven, enough boats near by to make friends but not so many for it to feel... occupied or sort of, spoiled. It was the perfect spot to take all the crew and to meet up with Jeff.
Special mention for poor old Tomas who sailed his boat over from Barcelona and put on a feast for everyone on one of the nights but we got no footage of it because everyone was either too tired or having too much fun to even pick up a camera.
It truly was a memorable meet up. Once we cross the Atlantic and settle into the Caribbean, we look forward to preparing for some more meet ups in the USA.
Thank you to everyone who is supporting our videos. We hope you were able to live through these ones as if you were on board with us.

Nice to see my sailing boat "Jaza Bee" on the video and this photo. What should I do to get Jaza Bee's longer footages from you? first step I became Patreon today!
I am dying to know if you two saw/filmed any of SpaceX's launch and Atlantic Main Booster recovery while on your crossing. Let us know!
Super video. One of my favorites.
Great video as always. Been following you for a while now and you guys convinced me to finally become a patron even though I'm just a broke student haha. Keep up the good work!
Pick me, pick me. ;-) Liked this one guys. I will write that anchorage down for whenever I get a boat in the future...
With all of your US fans, you're going to need a stadium to fit everyone in that wants to say hi and give you a high five. Maybe the Orange Bowl in Miami!
Quite inspiring.
Wonderful that there will be North American meet ups. As well as guests on the boat can you do onshore meet ups of a few hours for whoever can get there ?? I would even help you plan one for Canada's East Coast. We just need to Marina with a large lounge that can be reserved or rented or a hall nearby. This would be very easy in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI, or Newfoundland.
Great Episode!!! AGAIN!
I live in Florida!! Just tossing that out there if you have a not so random selection!!
I'm sitting in the Persian gulf with 2 English speaking channels and about 37 prayer channels ...La Vagabond you are a savior .. as always glued to every adventure ..Douggy
You are so brave diving in that cave! I was getting anxious just watching it! “What if you get lost” “what if you get caught on something” arrgghhh stress! Spose that’s why you guys are off having adventures and I’m chained to a desk lol! Love watching the vids and supporting from NZ <3
So excited for you two! When you come to Florida, I would love to meet up - I am from St Augustine FL and grew up sailing in the BVIs as a little kid so your channel and everything you post is so meaningful to me as a landlocked mom of 3!! Love from us! Aimee, Kwame, & kids Omari, Lucien and Sophia (3 budding sailors!)
Thanks for the special time with you and the lovely crew on La Vagabonde. This is bringing back sweet memories. Thanks for the editing and your kind words Elayna. Hope to see you guys again soon, give me a call if you need inspections...
Nice episode guys 😄👌🏻
Not sure i'd be brave enough to dive in a cave! Great vid yet again
What a wonderful vid! So great to see your patrons, friends-for-life & those you meet on the way. Beautiful scenery & views. Almost makes me want to jump into a boat but my wife gets seasick! Love her & I luv y'all!
amazing ADVENTURES! Of course I'd be down to meet up in Florida! Safe travels
Thank you so much for another great adventure
⛵️👍
Great to see Craig, Liam and Carmel again. What inspiring sailors they are.
If you invite me on la vagabonde I will 100% guarantee you I can be there in Florida
Mmmmmm, Florida. You might think about taking s few days off and hitting up Disney and Universal Studios.
Looking forward to hopefully catching up with you guys in FL. My wife and I will be in Mallorca the end of April, hopefully we will not be passing by each other on the seas. Suggestion: what about a rendezvous in and around FL. Raft ups are always fun and a great way to meet more people than will fit on La Vagabonde.
I live here in Florida and can't wait to see you two explore the nearby area!
Loved the episode! Great diving and a fun group of friends hanging out in beautiful anchorages. Life is good!
Hahaha maybe a little too much of that Norwegian liquor and not enough sleep. Despite that I really did have an amazing time on board with you guys and the crew! Highly recommend anyone who has the opportunity to go to just break out of your comfort zone and go for it! I was truly aw inspired and speechless as you might have noticed lol being a very introverted person going out on a limb and doing a lot of first on this trip was no shit scary but SO worth it and has lead to a lotta growth. I can’t thank all of my new friends enough for such a wonderful time and fresh out look, hope to see you all real soon! Love you guys, Logan
Hugs and support always...waiting to see your Ports-o-Call in the US before I ask permission to board! BIG HUGs!!
Hi Elaina & Riley...that video/fun will hard to top! Great dive sequence...too short of course! LOL!!
Great video!!!
Thanks Riley and Elayna. I think we all had a great time in Mahon. Going back there in a few weeks for a stopover on the way to Gaeta.
