028 Foam Parties, Festivals and Jungleparc Tree Top Kids Activities while Sailing Mallorca
January 13, 2019 by Mothership Adrift Travel and Sailing | Language: EN Play Time: 00:29:37 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
While stuck at anchor in Santa Ponsa waiting for our water pump and battery charger to arrive, we decide to go ashore and check the ridiculously loud music keeping us awake at night! It turned out to be the Festival del Rei en Jaumer – a week long festival of food, music and entertainment which ended with a foam party and magnificent firework display!
Having Granddad onboard gave us another excuse to go to Palma again and this time we visited the impressive, Palma Cathedral and try the local paella and sangria.
Two weeks without water pump meant we had to desperately seek out swimming pools and beach showers and manually pump 20L of water into the solar shower.. which didn’t go far with 6 of us onboard! It was a smelly boat by the time our @MARCOspaCompany water pump and the #mastervolt battery charger turned up. The kids quickly turned the packaging into new toys and Woody fitted the new equipment and fun though Santa Ponsa was, it was a relief to be on the move again
Homeschooling continued and for science we made a @yankodesign scale model of Theo Jansen’s strandbeest – so cool! We then visited @JungleParcMallorc the Treetops adventure playground for some fun in the trees!
The Balearic islands seemed to attract a lot of storms later in the season and we began thinking of shelter for the winter and perhaps even finding a Spanish school for the kids as they’ve had little opportunities to socialise with other kids lately.
Then more maintenance issues – our @Raymarine autopilot gave up! :/ It becomes quite demoralising after a while – things constantly breaking down all the time.
We finally left Mallorca (or is it Majorca?) for Ibiza in what we thought was a good weather window, but as Woody was calmly enjoying a cup of his beloved @yorkshiretea we sailed straight into a thunderstorm!
Luckily we came through unscathed so we poled out the head sail (the set up copied from a year 2000 @AmelYachts brochure!) and headed for San Antonio. Rowan read her current favourite book by @DanBrown while the boys played and learned about sound signals and navigation!
Then disaster struck. As we were leaving the dock after a final water stop, we ripped a huge hole in the dinghy which on top of everything else going wrong on the boat was completely demoralising – this is not a good way to ‘live the dream’. We still had several hundred miles to travel.. and now no dinghy to get to shore.
So as the end of the summer season draws to a close – we head to Almerimar for the winter and catch up with blogs and maintenance.. and if anyone has any of the following going spare…
Dinghy, AIS transponder, autopilot, microwave, depth sounder, washing machine, wind instruments, folding bike, solar panels, boat fridge, new batteries… please let us know!
…in fact just message us for the whole list! 😉

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.
