The experience

I was halfway through my second glass of sangria when we drifted up to Cala Bassa. The water was that weirdly clear turquoise you see in travel ads but never expect to be real. The crew had already set out the paddleboards and one of them (Miguel? I think) grinned and asked if I’d ever tried before. I hadn’t. Honestly, I wobbled so much the first five minutes that some German guy cheered for me when I finally stood up straight. There’s something about laughing with strangers in the sun that makes you forget how silly you look.

The catamaran itself felt roomy: only half full, so nobody was elbowing for space. At Cala Compte, we docked again and people scattered: some straight into the sea, others just flopped onto the floating mats or went for snacks. The pasta salad was surprisingly good (I expected soggy but nope), and someone handed me a piece of tortilla just as I was toweling off. There’s music playing but not too loud. Just enough to make it feel like summer is supposed to feel. The glass bottom bit is wild. You can see these little fish darting around under your feet while you eat fruit and try not to drop your fork.

Later on, after a long swim stop where everyone got a turn at the diving board (I chickened out), we just cruised along the coast for a while. The breeze smelled faintly salty and sweet, maybe from all the fruit plates? People were sprawled everywhere: sunburnt shoulders, wet hair, someone reading in Spanish next to me. It’s funny how quickly you settle into that rhythm of doing nothing except watching sunlight flicker on water. I still think about that view sometimes when I’m stuck on the metro back home.
