| Sunset on Isla de Aires |
 |
| Albufera |
The anchorage at Isla de Aires was very calm and we commented that the boat didn’t seem to move at all. However, when we tried to pull the anchor up we realised we were slightly aground!
We sailed to Es Grao, where there was plenty of room to anchor and good holding in sand. Es Grao is a lovely white village with a couple of bars and restaurants huddled around a beautiful wide bay with several small beaches and clear turquoise water.
Just behind the beach is the Albufera Natural Park, where we saw moorhens, a great crested grebe, egrets and mallard.
The wind generator has been getting noisy so Roger took it apart. It will need some new parts, and because we are not stationery long enough to have them sent to us at the moment, we’ll probably have to wait until the autumn. This will cause problems as the two solar panels will not be able to keep up with the fridge and our other electrical needs.
On Sunday, we motored the 6 miles to Cala de Addaya, which is a in a narrow estuary and although the bottom was weed, the anchor managed to hold first time. All the other boats were on buoys and although a man on another boat said we could use one of the buoys as the owners were away, we decided to stay on anchor.
