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.
 Rafiki moored Calo des OliThe 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.
 Mark at the landing stage,our dinghy in
the background!Not able to swim around Rafiki as there are loads
of brown jelly fish in the sea.
