Fish me a Wish

So, I live on an island. On this island there are many ports and harbors. Im not talking about huge ports like Philadelphia or New York, but fishing ports, nestled between mountains. Soller and Andratx are two such towns. They are located on the other side of the mountain range that I described in my earlier entry "A Tear Shed". When the mountains abruptly ends, the ocean abruptly begins. There is no flat land like on my side of the mountains. Occasionally, there will be a spot big enough to put a castle and a small town between the ocean and the mountain. Soller, which I visited about a week ago, and Andratx are just that.


Friends of the family own a sail boat and they invited Miguel and I to go sailing with them this afternoon. We left Andratx at about one and sailed around Isla Dragonera, an uninhabitted island off of Mallorca. Since there were no towns around, except Andratx, the views were amazing. None of them were spoiled by hotels and tourist. We dragged a fishing line behind the boat and caught an 8 pound tuna. I had a really great day. Few of you may know this, but sailing is favorite thing in the whole world. Out here at sea, I am really in my element.
