Our friends are gone and we have 4 days to our ship back on its feet, or wife? to bring. We do not stay in the Marina Port Radjada will choose from a bay nearby. A very restless night waiting for us. In the morning we will anchor in the hope of a quieter anchorage found. We found a little east of the harbor. We are delighted with the beautiful place - but not for long! We are of the Costiera pointed out that most recently, here is a protection zone and must not be anchored. So back to anchor and on the western side of the bay where the threshold is even bigger again. We set a stern anchor, so we are a little quieter.

On 10 August we return to the marina back to our friends Aurelia and Urs receive.

The two is all pretty new, they know the sailing of the Swiss lakes. It does not take long as you feel comfortable on our Whisper
The next day we take advantage of the northern wind and sail the 25 nautical quickly to Porto Colom. The waves are as vorbeizog north of the Mistral, still very high. Left after a short illness, we Urs control and he can enjoy the ride to the fullest. At anchor in Porto Colom always attract more clouds. We feel the first drops of rain since we left in May. Out on the open sea the waves are still high, we decide another night in the sheltered bay of Porto Colom to spend. All the little bays would have had certain significant threshold. Time passes quickly and have interesting conversations with a cozy togetherness. The sea has calmed down in the meantime and we go to the pretty little bay of Cala Serena. Here Urs and enjoy Aurelia for the first time swimming in the turquoise water.

The very last day of our visit there. We want to savor more fully and sail around the southern tip of Mallorca Colonia de Sant Jordi. We can not invest because of our depth in the harbor and bring the two together with the luggage with the dinghy ashore. Huhh take leave again! Urs Aurelia and take the bus to Palma, from where they travel by rental car reserved for Arto. The rest of their vacation to spend on a very pretty finca situated.

The farewell was short after a quiet night, we accept the offer of the two and gladly take it again for a visit to the nearby botanical garden and the Saltworks.

Earlier in the morning we visit the information center of the ARCHIPELAGO DE CABRERA. This was opened a year ago and shows the nature with all the animals and creatures of this beautiful nature reserve Council. The architecture of the museum is worth seeing, we have visited for a long time not such a great museum.

At 14:00 clock we welcome both outgoing and enjoy the short trip across the country by car. Everywhere there are windmills, some are still in operation. At the botanical garden, we must unfortunately be disappointed that more recently on Saturday and Sunday of the Garden closes at 14.00 clock, which was still in no leaders. Yes, apparently it happened to me time and again that the Muses or exhibitions, which I would like to visit are closed or are being renovated.

We can not take the good mood and make us for a snack at the Saltworks. Still here is derived salt. Something outside of the area we go through bizarre salt crusts and are amazed that the crust is under a mud which really disgusting smell. The salt of this is supposed to be particularly good. Maybe that is the soul of wit. In any case, it makes us not to scrape some of the salt to use in our galley. The image of nature is so fascinating that Aurelia venturing further and further, breaks through the crust, while pulling a shoe of the dark stinking mud.

So Aurelia can wash and the shoes we make a detour to the very nearby sandy beach.

How happy we are with our Whisper to be mobile and swim at beautiful beaches from our ship to you!

In the evening we say goodbye to the final two. We had a wonderful time together and want to thank both still with all my heart for everything.

With us, you go the next day with a wonderful sailing weather, light winds from the ideal direction and shallow sea, to the north-west of Mallorca in the Ensenada de Santa Ponsa. We'll have to buy again and really big bunker in the gas station the marina waters. Then we make our way to Ibiza.
