We enjoy the many bays with crystal clear waters of Ibiza. Depending on the wind and waves, we move from one bay to another.

First we go to the northern bay of Cala Portinatx. Before we leave the next day to Cala Benirras, we hang a buoy us and change our CQR anchor of the new anchor bracket. We are excited to see how this paid off. Thank you very much still a family Tschanz, who brought us the 24-pound anchor to Menorca.

The Cala Benirras is beautifully situated, so that one can observe from the boat the most amazing sunsets. Once the sun is lower, the drummers begin on the beach with their rhythms. These drums every evening until late at night, which sounds great in contrast to disco music. On Sunday evening also meet all known drummers at a joint session. We are in the hippie era back! The mood on the beach is unforgettable.

After three days it's on to the Cala Salada. As the evening we still want to drop anchor, our anchor in 10 m depth is caught with a concrete block. Yes, all efforts are useless, we're stuck. For this night we keep safe! In the morning we pack up the equipment, and diving for the first time the mega happy to have diving equipment on board. Hans Peter solves our anchor, a good feeling to be free again.

We sail on to Port Sant Antoni where we are the first night at anchor and the next day go to the marina. Hans Peter takes apart the water pump from the engine because this very dropwise and the earrings have to be changed. Luckily we found everything in our spare parts box and the pump is tight again. The Jabsco water pump, we can revise this winter in Vieste, but it has dripped from the beginning. So it goes with a lot! Also, our wave generator was repaired and no one really fit, we tried to Brindisi and Malta! Both times it cost a lot, but at the rehearsal at sea under sail, he was not working. Now we have the wave generator with Adrian to take home for a company to revise this, Urs and Aurelia took him to Majorca and Hans Peter had mounted low and behold, now it works again and we will be sailing with power supply for our autopilot. This is especially good at night because at night the solar cells get nothing. Many thanks again to all helpers.

Back to the port of Sant Antoni, we can leave our laundry wash, water bunkering and enjoy the nightlife of Ibiza times. It's funny to watch the bustle and it comes before us as the party people celebrating carnival in the summer.

The next day we look forward to a quiet bay and go to all the errands in the nearby Cala Bassa. We enjoy a day of swimming, reading and relaxing.

On the second morning it goes back further, as is called for in the weather forecast wind and swell from the north.

Wants with the wind on the nose we cruise between the islands by small rocks, but as Hans Peter genoa winch with the company very tight, it makes kraggg and Backbordwinsch denied their service. Fortunately, we can prove the pods on the Steuerbordwinsch, because the wind has freshened up and we cruise at about 20 knots wind.

We walk to the beautiful bay of Cala Tarida and I am pleased once again to have Internet access.

Parts of the winch are dug deep down and dismantled the winch. Always comes to me like a three-dimensional puzzle. The error is discovered quickly the fine feathers must be replaced. We also check the same the second genoa winches. Then says Hans Peter that his hands are already full of grease and he still can patch up the same bike. With our folding bikes, the vulnerability has had an impact. The spokes have rust spots and repeatedly crashing one. In Mallorca, we have replaced an entire wheel and now we may need to replace the old spokes. Hans Peter is safe 2 hours on a bike, and as we inflated the tire again and want to supply the bike, we heard a noise that we can not bode well. Renews one's jumped again spoke. So now is definitely determined, on the mainland, three new bikes bought for our folding bikes, then they should again be strong. We look forward to autumn tours!

In the coming days we will sail to the mainland to Denia 55sm approx. We watch the weather and hope for suitable winds.
