VALENTINE´S DAY

The 14th of February is celebrated in most parts of the world as the most romantic day of the year. This year Tealie is ready to take you on her first RED, ROMANTIC AND BUBBLY Valentine´s cruise. The red will be in the food and drinks we serve, the romantic will be up to you but we will help to set the mood, and the bubbly will be in the welcome drink. We head off when you are ready but for max romance, why not combine it with a sunrise or sunset cruise?

As this will be our very first Valentine´s cruise we offer you a 10% discount off our normal price. Unfortunately we can´t predict the weather this far ahead but if the 14th of February is a no-sail and you are flexible, we will head off the day before or after. Where we go that is for the wind to decide but we can promise you spectacular views of Europe meeting Africa, and of course a good time.

Once you´re settled and comfortable we will serve you a bubbly welcome drink, snacks and other refreshments. Underway we will deck the table and serve you food. What it will be is a surprise but you can be certain it will be something red and delicious.

What is Valentine's day?

The day is also called Saint Valentine's Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine and originates from a Christian feast day honoring a marty named Valentine. In the Western Christian Church the day is celebrated on the 14th of February but in other churches it is a different day. There are many stories and legends to this day but we the day as we know it today is it symbols

We have seen dolphins, turtles and moonfish on numerous trips. They are unpredictable, but don't loose faith, keep a close lookout and hopefully they will show up to greet you.

On our way back we will take a ten minute detour down the canal to the inner parts of Sotogrande marina, past the luxurious and colourful apartments at the frontline of the canal.

PRECAUTIONS AND TIPS

You will be served food, snacks and refreshments. If you have any allergies or have some special dietary wishes or needs, please let us know.
Although hot on land, the sea air can get humid and chilly, especially around sunset. For your own comfort, we recommend bringing a warm jumper or jacket.
Please bring proper shoes with white, rubber soles. The deck is slippery when wet and we wish to avoid any accidents. If the weather is warm enough, barefoot is a good option.
We have life vests for those not feeling too comfortable aboard, also for small kids and medium sized pets.
If you wish to let your family and friends know where you are sailing, they can follow you by searching for TEALIE on VesselFinder or by clicking on MarineTraffic.

MOTION SICKNESS

Motion sickness is the worst, especially wobbling on a sailboat with no immediate escape. However, if you tend to get motion sick, don't worry, there are some precautions to take before and during the trip.

Before the trip

Check with your doctor or pharmasist which medicines or patches to be recommended. The adhesive patch is put behind your ear a few hours before boarding. We have pills and wrist bracelets if needed.
Buy a pack of lozenges, preferably something with ginger.
Do not eat a big meal before boarding.
Lay of alcohol, caffeine and drink lots of water.
Bring a distraction - like music with headphones.

During the trip

If you brought music, listen to it as it might add some distraction.
Find a better spot. Many find relief by taking the helm.
Lie down if you can, keep your head still, shut your eyes or follow the horizon. Whatever is best for you.
We will provide something salty, like chips or crackers, green apples, i.e. Granny Smith, anything with ginger, i.e. lozenges.
Drink ginger ale or ginger tea, Coca-Cola, the real stuff.

If nothing of the above helps, we will give you a bucket and head back to Sotogrande.
