027: Sailing Mallorca's South Coast, a Train Journey from Palma to Soller and Kids try Tapas!
▷UK BLOG AWARDS NOW ENDED
_______________________________________________________________
With all the family and friends we’d had onboard there was yet another shopping trip ashore, but day tripper boats, jet skis and jet boats made the journeys through San Antonio anchorage even more hazardous than usual. So once our friend, Dan and his daughter Sophia joined us and another hair dressing lesson from Julie and Simon, we headed for Mallorca and searched out the best beaches and anchorages along the south coast.
Inevitably there were maintenance issues along the way so it was great to have Dan to help out, especially with hoisting Woody up the mast to sort out the masthead light. The kids also took great delight in using the new halyard as a swing, although stormy weather quickly out a stop to the fun :/
Finally we said farewell to our guests and it was back to home schooling again using our new @cgpbooks
We decided to explore ashore, visiting Colonia de Sant Jordi and Palma where the kids’ tried tapas for the first time, learned about different types of anchors (rocnas, plows, danforths deltas etc.) in a local chandlery and about conservation from a pop up exhibition near the cathedral, which all supplements their education. In light of recent criticism from the kids about our teaching methods lately, it was a relief to take teaching off the boat for a while.
Grandad also joined us in Palma and he’s also good for a bit of living history too!
We had another stock up from the local @lidlespana and @AldiSupermercados.es
in Palmanova and also found loads @michaelmorpurgoofficial
books (one of the kids’ favourite authors) in the Lions Club Mallorca shop. We also had fun meeting up with other cruisers, especially Lyn and Andy then headed to Santa Ponsa for water before going on to Camp de Mar.
With so many guests this summer the maintenance jobs began to pile up – battery charger, automatic fresh water pump, manual fresh water pump, manual toilet pump.. all need looking at in the next blog!
Our attempts to get to Soller were frustrated by unfavourable winds so we decided to take the train from Palma in the end and, what a journey! Through the mountains into Soller town before a taking a lovely walk to Porto Soller.

Mothership Adrift Travel and Sailing
We're a UK family who have saved over many years to live the dream of travelling the world with our kids. We sold our belongings, closed our business and rented our house to buy a 20 year old sailboat . We want to show the kids that there is a bigger world out there and to appreciate the simple things in life, things that you find in the sea, the woods, up mountains, along the beach , the sky and the stars. Our dream of cruising and exploring the world's oceans is matched with a desire to live a more off-grid and sustainable lifestyle. A background as RYA instructors, flotilla skippers and RNLI crew only partly prepared us for the challenges of a live-aboard life! From buying a boat to homeschooling the kids, from cooking on a budget to making money while we travel, from sailboat maintenance to visiting amazing places - join our journey and share in our world adventure, as well as the challenges of family life, through our series of video blogs.
