Since being in Barcelona I have had the good luck to take two boat cruises in the Mediterranean. The first was a Catamaran Jazz cruise through CEA which was very nice, and had live jazz music. This cruise was in the late afternoon and we were out on the water for a little over an hour before coming back to the dock. It was nice to lay out on a catamaran and look into the water, and I even managed to spot some jellyfish. I do have to say that the second cruise was by far much better. My roommates and our girls all pitched in and had a local Barcelonan take us out on his sailboat for four hours last night. This was such a great experience to be sailing out on the mediterranean like they have been doing for thousands of years and our captain, a middle-aged former economist named Francisco, was quite the host, providing us with some great entertainment at his broken english and his great selection of 1980s American music. To be sailing out on the water at night was fantastic, with a great view of the Barcelona coast lit up, and the casinos and water tower providing a great background to compliment the tower of Montjuic on the skyline. We also lucked out and had a great clear night with a fantastic view of the moon. Overall the cruise was quite romantic and a great hit among us all.
