The entrance to Puerto SòllerOur Australian acquaintances were also in the port overnight Puerto Sòller would be one of the most picturesque ports in all of the Balearic Islands
We tie up at the fishing boat wharf in order to have a mechanic look at one of our engines which on occasions refuses to startA young man called Tomi came to our rescue and attempted to rectify the problemOnce the motors were checked and few washers were replaced, all appeared to function well, so we return to the large bay in the harbourWe join the large number of boats on anchor in the southern part of the sheltered bayNumerous day trip sailing boats take passengers out for the day to explore the wonderful bays nearbyThe old wooden trams which are very popular with visitors, follow the foreshore and then continue past farms and orchards to arrive at the town of SòllerIn most parts of the Balearic Islands nudity in public on boats, even in busy harbours is very common…..after a while one becomes used to it!!!Puerto Sòller which is shaped like a horseshoe, is situated at the foot of the mountain range called Serra de TramuntanaAlthough Puerto Sòller is a busy bay the water in the harbour is quite clear and swimming around the bay and the beach area is very popular
An attractive new Discovery 58 yacht anchors nearbyThe owners Sergio and Heluisa and her visiting brother Paulo, all from Brazil, kindly invite us aboard for a drink
