Well we have had a great time sailing around the various calas,not as busy as we thought it was going to be.San Antonio is a good safe anchorage but can be quite noisy and there is quite a lot of wake caused by the water bikes!!Met up with Falcon Crest who have problems with their refridgeration, also met Oliver who we met last year in Al merimar,small world this sailing fraternity.
Unfortunately whilst we were in Espalmador we found that we were having problems with our port side engine and were unable to manoevour forward,not a great thing to happen in a busy bay.We managed to get in touch with a Yanmar agent who informed us that we neede to go to Santa Eulalia,unfortunately bad advice as they do not have facilities for a lift out for us,we have decided to go to the mainland ,Valaencia as they have much more facilities and it would be the cheaper option.Leaving this afternoon and hopefully arrive tomorrow afternoon.
Getting slightly fed up as we seem to have more of a plane than a sailboat!!!
