Did Neptune save us from a disaster? Failing anchoring equipment could have lead to a serious accident, but something wanted it otherwise. We sailed from Denia to Ibiza, failed to anchor and then continued through the night to Mallorca.
The plan was to go sailing and exploring the southern of the Balearic Islands, Formentera. We enjoyed the beauty of Cala Soana, La Savina, Platja de Llevant and Es Pujols in company with good friends. I had problems with my Suzuki outboard and went on a mission to buy a new one.
For a touristy city, I really like this one. It is full of life with its countless streets with restaurants, caffes, bars and cultural sights. The first thing you see when entering Alicante is the massive castle on the hill. Castillo de Santa Bárbara is from the Bronze age and was built in the 9th century when the Iberian Peninsula was in control from 711 to 1296. That’s pretty old.
As we left the Marina in Aguadulce, the excitement and morale onboard were high. The three of us had no previous sailing experience and this was going to be a trip with lots of “first timers”.
