Before we crossed the Atlantic Ocean, one community completely changed our journey: Finding Dory. What started as an online group of sailors became a worldwide family, sharing knowledge, weather updates, support, and lifelong friendships. If you’re dreaming of crossing an ocean one day, you’ll definitely want to hear this story.
From there, we travel back to the Mediterranean and visit the island that has a special place in my heart: **Ibiza**. This island is filled with unforgettable memories, breathtaking anchorages and some of the most beautiful sailing waters in Europe.
In this episode you’ll discover:
🌊 The amazing Finding Dory sailing community and how it helped us prepare for our Atlantic crossing.
🐠 A visit to the spectacular Oceanogràfic Valencia, where we got our very first glimpse of the incredible marine life that now surrounds us every day while sailing through the Caribbean.
⛴️ Sailing between enormous container ships and experiencing just how small you feel surrounded by these giants.
⚓ A stop in Dénia, where we discover the burned-out remains of another catamaran, spot the famous **Parsifal III** from *Below Deck Sailing Yacht*, and troubleshoot a frustrating Yanmar engine problem that many sailors may recognize.
🐬 A perfect weather window across to Ibiza, complete with playful dolphins escorting us to the island.
🧭 The mystery of Es Vedrà and its legendary magnetic compass anomaly—does your compass really behave differently near this iconic island?
🪨 Hidden underwater rock pinnacles around Ibiza that can become every sailor’s nightmare if you’re not paying attention.
❤️ Why Ibiza has become my favorite island in the Mediterranean and why returning here with my family means so much to me.
🥁 The magical sunset drummers of Benirràs Beach, where Ibiza’s famous hippie culture still comes alive every evening. This episode is about so much more than sailing. It’s about friendship, preparation, adventure, family, freedom and revisiting places that shaped who we are today. Whether you’re planning your own Atlantic crossing, dreaming about cruising the Mediterranean, or simply love travel and sailing documentaries, we hope this episode inspires you to chase your own adventure.
