it was so calm whenever we arrived in SOLLER
even though the anchorage was very full we took our time to find a spot on sand
because we knew this anchorage was very notorious
for bad anchor holding patricia as usual fed fish and also the ducks that came to say hello
and we watch the sunset through the narrow entrance of the fort of sawyer
and tonight we're supposed to have a lot of wind coming our way here so we decided to
get a slot here in the marina port of the soyer in my orca two nights ago had that
issue with that other catamaran that decided to simply throw anchor at wherever they pleased in
front of other boats really creating a lot of problems in terms of dragging anchor and so on
so let me explain from the beginning what happened and for that let me go back 48 hours in time and
start right after the beautiful sunset we watched from the narrow entrance of the puerto solaire
as we were admiring the sunset we noticed a knot attack 46 catamaran entering super fast the bay
and throwing anchor pretty much it anywhere that called for our attention because they didn't even
put their bridle on their boat by the way brydo is that cable that secured the chain that comes
from both sides of the catamaran that helps avoid too much swinging and the pressure on the windlass
making anchoring more secure we knew that later that evening the wind would pick up but surely
they would return before it and we are here in soyer in palma and this catamaran that is right
beside us arrived like almost before sunset the guy just dropped anchor didn't even put his uh his
bridle on left to the boat and uh went to the city and now we have 20 knots of wind he's dragging
anchor and uh everything is locked over there in his boat i would try to uh to light up his boat
and uh you know flash some light up out there in the port where all the restaurants are because we
feel like the guys over there eating something but he's not coming back so we're like on the
lookout here because uh there's a very good chance that we're gonna have to move and re-anchor soon
so you know it's not gonna be a peaceful night tonight we're gonna have to be on the lookout
well i guess we did jump to conclusions too fast at 11 o'clock it was blowing about 25
knots with gusts of about 30 making that camera and swing radically from one side to the other
causing their anchor to drag luckily there was nobody bothering them enter anchor held back again
awesome
huh
at 11 30 the irresponsible crew from that boat arrived
and would not find their boat so we pointed it out with a flashlight to their vessel
and this is when the drama started they quickly raised the anchor and instead of going in the
back of the anchorage to throw anchor once again they decided to go in front of everybody
in front of us there was a camera and called wind board from a couple from the netherlands
that were anchored here in solaire for a couple of days already and this is what happened
so
huh
this irresponsible captain that in our opinion was probably drunk threw anchor twice on top
of whitton board getting so close to them that they would touch their chain with their home
huh
we also dragged anchor like everyone else but only about 30 meters
as our anchor got a good grip again afterwards so he felt it would not
be a good idea to re-anchor in the middle of the night during that chaos
making things worse now the captain from that not attack 46 decided to come towards us and set
anchor dangerously close to us he stating that he would leave at five o'clock in the morning
at sea we find that people help each other by instinct and we felt that tonight everyone at
anchor realized the situation was very dangerous and wanted to help this captain but he would
scream back to anyone saying that he knew what he was doing and for everybody to shut up it is sad
and worrisome that you may find a captain like that allowed to be a skipper of a charter boat
we hope never to cross paths again with this vessel in its screw
i'm going to interrupt this video real quick to thank our today sponsor

as we came into our slot a line that was on the water got caught on our propeller
so i had to jump in real quick and release it
what's here
why
throat
we have uh the hole number one of lagoon 55 right there they arrived today and they don't have
space in the marina so they decided to uh throw anchor they're gonna be staying exactly in the
same place that we stayed when we had that issue with that other catamaran that decided to simply
throw anchor at wherever they pleased in front of other boats really creating a lot of problems in
terms of dragging anchor and so on we're gonna be able to see here on the chart plotter exactly uh
what is gonna happen to them tonight if they're gonna drag anchor or not hopefully nothing happens
with anybody that is out there uh on the anchorage but it's supposed to be very strong tonight
so
good morning and after a night a rolly night let's put it this way because even though we were in the
marina the entire night was like that uh patricia didn't sleep much last night because she was
worried even though we are in the marina and we also had a lot of the uh boats that we have out
there on the anchorage they were dragging anchor again this board here in solaire is very famous
for that a lot of people do uh reports that the anchor drags a lot the soil is not very
uh very good we do have some spots of sand but uh the majority of the places here for you to
anchor is not the best so today uh we're gonna be receiving our dealer here that sold our boat
uh because we were made aware that now there's a new procedure for your warranty to be valid
they have to survey the boat on a yearly basis uh to check uh the bulkheads uh to check anything
related to the hole itself so the warranty can be valid but in terms of this uh survey on a
yearly basis this is news to us we were never informed that this was a requirement before
so i think there's a lot of lagoon 46 owners out there i don't know if you guys have done that or
not if you have leave us a comment here uh on the on the video below telling us if you had
performed on a yearly basis uh for the three years that the warranty is uh worth it i think
it's like i don't think it's a very complicated survey that they're gonna do but i'm gonna film
and i'll show it to you guys as well but that and much more we'll show you on our next video
