15TH-16TH May
Awoke to bright skies but winds still remain strong ,checked mooring lines to find that our
 anchor was cutting through the mooring lines,had to lower our anchor to remedy situation.Took Lilly ashore to stretch her legs and have an explore of the land.We are in a very pretty bay and at present there are just 3 other yachts moored here.

The next morning Mark prepared to do his usual engine checks to find that we had gear box oil leaking from the port side engine.So after contacting a Yanmar dealer which fortunately they have here in the port of La Sabina we are waiting until Monday for a diagnosis!!! Feeling quite miserable as we seem to have had a string of bad luck,hopefully this will not be too serious.Decided to check out the town,which to our amazement was extremly busy and very quaint,this is an old ,'Hippie Island' and lies within a marine park.Mooring within the marina is very, very expensive but despite this seems to be quite full.

Not able to swim around Rafiki as there are loads of brown jelly fish in the sea.
