Alicante - Tabarca (11 Nm)
08 August 2006 | Isle of Tabarca

After several days of rest, we finally sailed out again to the Isle of Tabarca. A beautiful old pirate island just out of the coast of Santa Pola. We secured side to side to a pack of 5 boats. Later in the afternoon the other boats left and we ended up in second position secured to a fishing boat. We had a swim, cooked some dinner, played the guitar, and enjoyed the peacefulness of this island of few inhabitants.
At 7:30 in the morning we were woken up by the fishermen who left and left Iris against the concrete wall. Since the sky was getting very dark and there were some thunderstorms out there we left early, again for Alicante. We did the whole trip motoring. The new impeller apparently solved the heating problems.
