Log Entry: August 27
        
         Since we spent over two hours searching for the missing person on the
        catamaran,  we could not go to Malaga as we intended.  So we went to Puerto de
        Fuengirola.  It was a small anchorage and adequate for an overnight. (Blue Jacket
        joined us) The next day we were still high from saving two people, but that was not
        to last for long.
         On August 16th, we went to Puerto de Motril and were anchored out of the
        shipping lane, we thought. Men in a dinghy approached our boat and starting
        yelling at us.  He said he told us the day before to move our boat and if we didn't
        do it immediately tonight, he was going to give us a fine.  We tried to explain we
        just arrived, but he refused to understand.  We left immediately and found a quiet
        anchorage around the bend.  Blue Jacket came past us and we told them what
        happened.  Around 9:30 PM we were approached by Customs.  They asked to
        board our boat.  How could we refuse!!!  When we asked if anything was wrong,
        they said no, but they wanted to see our boat papers.  They were friendly, courteous
        and polite and they checked us into Spain!  The next morning, we noticed Blue
        Jacket next to us.  They told us that they were asked to move their boat at 11:30
        PM but customs did not come aboard.
         The next day we found a great anchorage called Puerto Genoves.  It had the
        clearest water, a pretty beach, beautiful scenery and it was quiet!!!  We were
        tempted to stay there another night, but we decided to go to Cartengena as planned. 
        After we checked in, we found a resturant and had a pleasant dinner.  The next day,
        we took our bikes and toured the town.  Since it was Sunday, EVERYTHING was
        closed.  However, we did find a pastry shop. After pigging out, we decided to jump
        to the Balearic Islands.  We left at 1:30 PM and got to Espalmador (nude beaches)
        at 9:30 am.  It was a good trip with no problems.  The beach was beautiful and
        most of the people on the beach had NO tan lines anywhere!  In fact, we got caught
        up in "In Rome, do as the Romans do". Can you imagine the two of us walking
        hand in hand into the setting sun on a nude beach ....ugh!!!!! 
         The next day we thought we would tour the island of Formentera.  It didn't
        happen.  First the water pump on the engine broke (boat became a steam bath) and
        then the mounts on the fuel pump broke and then we got a hole in the muffler for
        the exhaust!!!  It was interesting anchoring without an Engine!!!  Rudy had an extra
        water pump and fixed that and the mounts....MY HERO!!!  However, he didn't
        have the part for the exhaust.  So we limped to the marina where there was no room
        available.  We then anchored right outside the marina, but that meant inflating the
        dinghy on the boat.   What fun!!  The next day we went into the town to see if we
        could find the part we needed with NO LUCK. We decided to go to Ibiza, hoping
        to find it there.  We made it to Ibiza for another chance at "Med  mooring. We
        have been used to large marinas that have fixed lines away from the dock so all you
        do is back or bow in, tie it, and pick the lines from the dock and pull them tight at
        the end away from the dock. The fixed lines are a little messy but the system works
        fine. When we came into Puerto de Ibizia we saw the other boats using the same
        process. We set lines etc. to dock bow first. The dock master said no!!!  We needed
        to use our anchor to hold us off.  Like Bermuda it was another goat rodeo changing
        the boat around and the two of us bringing the boat in stern first.  It was sloppy but
        we did OK. We were there for a few hours and finally figured out the rudder was
        hitting bottom!! Another  goat rodeo getting out and in again bow first and this
        time with their lines to hold us off. We hope that does it for a while. We stayed in
        Ibiza for three nights and didn't get the boat fixed, but we did get to tour the island
        in a rented car.  It is a very interesting island with caves and a lot of different
        cultures in its history.
         On August 25th, we sailed to Palma, Mallorca. Bailing every half hour because
        the exhaust water was still leaking into the boat. We used the engine for about three
        hours of a twelve hour trip.  We were very happy because the smell from the
        exhaust would have overpowered us!!  It was nice to see that we could still sail well
        while beating into a 10-15kt breeze doing 6-7kts for over 50 miles. We made the
        75 miles in reasonable time and started the engine to get ready to dock. Our bilge
        pump broke!!!  What next??  We docked bow first with fixed lines to hold us off.
        No problem!  Rudy had the spare parts to fix the bilge pump and the local yard will
        be able to replace the lift water muffler for the exhaust system. Maybe things will
        go right for a while!
         Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell were eating dinner around the corner from our
        marina and didn't bother to say hello!!  The security is very tight here so they
        probably weren't allowed in.  We had dinner the next night under the lights of the
        Cathedral where they ate, but didn't spot them.  Their loss!!!!
