After fixing our auto pilot and AIS we decided
to go do some shopping for the boat in Palma de Mallorca. How could we guess
that the Basques would strike again ? Anyway we did not even heard the
bombs
although we were on a tourist sightseeing bus
around the area where it happened.
Palma is a nice town in certain areas and some old
buildings.
Tuesday we left the Marina S Arenal and
anchored outside in a sheltered bay so Christiana and the kids visited an aqua
parc, while D stayed in the boat. In the marina there was Guardia Civil and in
the bay we were anchored there was a rib with secret police. Σκεφτηκα να κανω
ενα πατριωτικο promotion να ερθουν σε επαφη με τον Μαρκογιαννακη και
Χρυσοχοιδη μια και οι δυο τους ειναι οι experts τετοιων κρισεων αλλα
φανταστηκα οτι πλεισιαζουμε δεκαπενταυγουστο και θα ειναι κριμα να τους την
χαλασω! sorry guys!
We sailed at 18:15 for Ibiza with full main and
tried for the first time our cutter jib. They worked fine the wind was around
7-10 knots with a lot of waves from two directions on a big swell. Mid way we
took a reef since the wind had picked up. Aproaching Isla Tagomago at 03:00 12
July, the wind had reached 17kts and we decided to enter Cala
Boix sheltered but lots of swell. As soon as we were anchored the party started
(dont forget we are in Ibiza) thunders all over and rain. The place was lighted
and we started dancing with heavy swell and less wind. We were feeling
tired and decided to go to sleep, it was 04:30.
Our day started at 10:30 checking the place and our
anchor.
Armenistis was looking perfectly clean from
the rain and the atmosohere was smelling from the pines on the
land.
After some telephone calls, looking at the weather
and a short meeting we decided to stay in Cala Boix. The weather was getting
worse and two other sailing boats were enetring the bay.
We will update our diary as soon as we move to
another spot.
