Summerwind & tender at Las Salinas Ibiza. During the summer months, Las Salinas is the 'in' beach not only for the wealthy and the beautiful people, but also for the party scene. The bikini fashions tend to reveal more than they cover-up, and the sun-worshippers here are more than a match for the Baywatch beauties!  They play chill out in various bars direct at the beach
 and in the evening the large well known Ibiza clubs promote there party theme. At night the beach converts totally - no Hotels, no people, nature and peace pure with the promise of the next party starts ... in just a some hours

Dirk joined in Mallorca - here you see him practice for the "sexiest man in Oberbayern" contest - no just kidding, he doesn't like Oberbayern in from any possible angle

Daily routine, wake up somewhere - engine on and first boat in Cala Montrago. We just loved this place.

Both of us look different nowadays, the little one became a princess and I'm so much older. Ellen Mc Wind's really name is Linn Frieda but I'm sure she will become a great sailor.  

Cabin is a little oversize

No, I will not ...


My father is sailing Summerwind. It's a kind of special occasion because he was sailing a lot in his live, if as first maid on the Passat (also in September 1957), as Captain of the Gorch Fock or as private sailor on several pleasure vessels. He finished his Army career as Admiral and correctly I should fly his Admiral flag. 
 
Remarkable is that his sailing style differs so much from many of us nowadays, not using autopilot, always trying to tag as high to the wind as possible and being on the helm for hours without break.

Formentera ... one of the most beautifully places I know in Europe. I'm a child of the beach, grew up with water and sand and wind. Always being deeply sorry for people having to live in a place without even having a small ocean next to them. I understand why people like to go to mountains in winter, because then mountains are covered with water - frozen one but at least. Formentera comes close to the perfect beaches you normally only have in tropic areas. And the best, I can stay when all the others have to leave.
