The wind is strong and gives us a good push, allowing us to regularly reach 6 knots. At each waypoint, the wind shifts, so we have to keep gybing to stay on course. The waves are high, but since they’re coming from behind, the sailing remains pleasant. The scenery is beautiful. We sail past small, secluded coves that feel like peaceful oases hidden in the landscape. As we enjoy the view, we start complaining about the lack of dolphins. But right at that moment, one appears next to the boat. To our surprise, it completely ignores us and happily swims off to greet a jet ski. After a while, we decide to head towards Cala Aigües Blanques. In the distance, we see a few small beaches, rock formations and tree-covered mountains. We pick a nice spot and drop the anchor in about six meters of water. There’s plenty of space and the anchor holds well. Our plan is to stay here for a few days and relax. With a stocked fridge, full water tanks and a clean boat, we’re all set. The next morning, Greg dives under the boat and notices we’re uncomfortably close to an underwater rock. There’s only about a meter of water between the keel and the rock! Without hesitation, we pull up the anchor and move to a spot with just sand, far from any unexpected obstacles. And what do we do during our time here? We relax on the beach, take a beautiful 10-kilometer hike starting from Sant Vincent and later enjoy a delicious meal at The Boat House. The highlight is an amazing bonfire night on the beach with a few fellow sailors. It’s moments like these that make the adventure unforgettable.
