Daily archives: June 26, 2020

We had our best passage ever in the Med, sailing between the Spanish mainland and Formentera. After a few days relaxing, we headed on to the north of Ibiza and the visually stunning anchorage of Punta Grossa.

Yesterday I noticed little muddy footprints traili

Yesterday I noticed little muddy footprints trailing across our enclosure roof.

The rational part of my brain said it was a bird.

The part that still remembers the horror of having an uninvited rat onboard for 4 days in Greece had a little panic that it was a 4 legged creature.

I looked up the footprint pattern on Google. Definitely bird.

Phew!

If you'd like to read about our rat encounter story and how we finally caught it, take a look at www.yachtemerald.com/rats

I've been using Duolingo for a few years to learn a little of the language of each country we've visited in the Med. There are a lot of different languages!

A small criticism about the app is how it gives you words to learn that I feel are unlikely to come up in everyday use. For example, anteater but not sheep, and pineapple but no pear. However, at the veggie market this week, I did at last get to use abacaxi 😁

Abacaxi has a great sound to it.
