Suddenly<\/span> Diosdado<\/span> Quiao<\/span> pulls hard<\/span> on the<\/span> throttle<\/span> and<\/span> the tiny<\/span> Zodiac<\/span> jumps over the bumpy waves<\/span> like a young<\/span> springbok<\/span>. Frantically,<\/span> I hold on<\/span> to<\/span> the reins<\/span> of the black<\/span> rubber<\/span> boot and<\/span> I am really <\/span>glad that<\/span> the <\/span>third<\/span> officer gave me<\/span> a life jacket<\/span>. We shoot<\/span> across the<\/span> slightly<\/span> troubled<\/span> Mediterranean<\/span> sea somewhere<\/span> between Ibiza and<\/span> Mallorca,<\/span> there is no land<\/span> in sight<\/span>! The seven<\/span> other<\/span> adventurers<\/span> in the boat<\/span> look<\/span> partly<\/span> curious<\/span>, partly hooked on<\/span> the young sailor.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

After a few<\/span> hundred meters with<\/span> full<\/span> speed <\/span>he<\/span> stopps the<\/span> rubber<\/span> boat<\/span> and turns it<\/span> out of the waves<\/span>. Immediately we<\/span> grab\u00a0<\/span>our cameras<\/span> and smartphones<\/span>, finally<\/span> the<\/span> large sailing<\/span> ship<\/span> in front of us<\/span> fits fully<\/span> on<\/span> the displays.<\/span> On this sunny<\/span> day, the<\/span> Sea Cloud<\/span> has set<\/span> all sails<\/span> and glides<\/span> majestically over<\/span> the open sea.<\/span> But after a few<\/span> minutes the<\/span> photo safari<\/span> is over<\/span> and<\/span> the<\/span> Zodiac<\/span> jumps <\/span>back<\/span> to the mother ship<\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Her first name was<\/span> “<\/span>Hussar”, when <\/span>the<\/span> Sea Cloud<\/span>as left <\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span>the<\/span> Germania<\/span> shipyard<\/span> in Kiel as the<\/span><\/span> largest<\/span> private<\/span> yacht<\/span> in the world<\/span>.<\/span> The New York<\/span> heiress<\/span> Marjorie<\/span> Merriweather Post<\/span> ordered the<\/span> 110<\/span>-meter-long ship a<\/span>nd spent many years<\/span> with her family<\/span> on board.<\/span> With her new<\/span> husband<\/span> the<\/span> new name<\/span> came into play<\/span>. From now on politicians and famous guests met at the<\/span> Sea Cloud<\/span>.<\/span> After<\/span> turbulent years<\/span> during the Second World<\/span> War<\/span> she became famous <\/span>as the party<\/span> ship “<\/span>Angelita<\/span>“<\/span>, Hollywood stars<\/span> stayed <\/span>in<\/span> the noble<\/span> chambers.<\/span> After the death<\/span> of the owner<\/span> the<\/span> yacht<\/span> broke down until it<\/span> was discovered<\/span> in the seventies<\/span> in<\/span> Panama<\/span> and restored<\/span> as a cruise ship<\/span>. Eight of the<\/span> 32<\/span> outside cabins<\/span> are now<\/span> back in the<\/span> original condition with<\/span> gold fixtures<\/span>, fireplace and four-poster bed<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

With<\/span> 3.8<\/span> knots<\/span> the white<\/span> windjammer<\/span> sails <\/span>westwards.<\/span> On the port<\/span> side <\/span>the<\/span> gangway<\/span> hangs<\/span> down<\/span> and<\/span> our<\/span> Zodiac stops<\/span>.<\/span> The third officer takes my hand with a\u00a0safety grip<\/span> and I jump over to the Sea Cloud<\/span>. With soft<\/span> knees<\/span> I climb<\/span> up the gangway<\/span> back on deck<\/span>, where Patissier<\/span> Marc<\/span> Hetzer<\/span> waits <\/span>with a beaming<\/span> smile and<\/span> comfort food<\/span> in the form of<\/span> Sachertorte<\/span>, iced chocolate<\/span> and nut<\/span> biscuits.<\/span> Strengthened<\/span> I let myself<\/span> fall on a<\/span> blue<\/span> and white striped<\/span> deckchair<\/span> and look into<\/span> the<\/span> cloudless<\/span> sky.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The sun is shining<\/span>, the<\/span> 3,000<\/span> square meters of sail<\/span> rattle<\/span> in the wind.<\/span> It<\/span> dawns<\/span> slowly and the international<\/span> deck crew<\/span> roll up the<\/span> ropes<\/span>. The boys and girls<\/span> climb up the<\/span> poles and<\/span> attach the<\/span> sail<\/span> back to<\/span> the yards<\/span>. Some <\/span>hobby<\/span> skipper<\/span>s talk about<\/span> Besan<\/span>, Bram, Upper Mars<\/span> and other<\/span> sailing<\/span> facts while\u00a0<\/span>landlubbers like me<\/span> look<\/span> cluelessly at<\/span> the colorful<\/span> sails<\/span> diagram<\/span>\u00a0the first officer gave me in the morning<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the day,<\/span> shorts<\/span> and<\/span> boat shoes<\/span> are<\/span> hip,<\/span> also the dinner is<\/span> surprisingly<\/span> casual.<\/span> Tie and<\/span> evening dress<\/span> are just<\/span> necessary at the Captain<\/span>‘s Dinner.<\/span> Chef Uwe<\/span> P\u00f6hlmann<\/span> has<\/span> heaved<\/span> a huge<\/span> swordfish<\/span> on deck.<\/span> “<\/span>I found that <\/span>fish in Palma<\/span> on a local market<\/span> and had a new idea for today’s <\/span>menu plan<\/span>,” says the chef<\/span> from Wiesbaden.<\/span> Since 2011<\/span> he travels with<\/span> the Sea Cloud<\/span> around the world and<\/span> buys local food at the most beautiful market<\/span> halls.<\/span> “<\/span>On board I combine<\/span> local food<\/span> with<\/span> recipes from Germany<\/span>.” Cause there are<\/span> many German<\/span> speaking guests<\/span> on board<\/span>, the shipping company<\/span> is based in Hamburg<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

At exactly<\/span> half past seven<\/span> he cuts the<\/span> swordfish<\/span> under the<\/span> prying eyes<\/span> of some<\/span> German <\/span>sailors and<\/span> serves<\/span> grilled<\/span> fillets<\/span> on the open<\/span> Lido<\/span> deck.<\/span> The Hungarian<\/span> pianist<\/span> Peter<\/span> Czifra<\/span> is playing<\/span> classical<\/span> evergreens<\/span>, while the red sun drops near <\/span>at<\/span> Ibiza<\/span> into the sea.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
