In this episode of Sailing Helios Naturally we sail back to Sant Agusti to shelter from a building southwesterly wind.

We head ashore for groceries, an ice cream, and a wander around the town. We spot some interesting souvenirs and I mention how Formentera is famous for its beautiful nude beaches.

Back on board I swap the membrane and housing on the watermaker — it’s now performing better than ever, although there’s still a small leak to fix. We then meet up with a friend on the water to collect our parcels he kindly brought from Cartagena, and finally fit the new zinc anodes on Helios.

After a relaxed naked brunch in the cockpit, we slip the anchor and enjoy a beautiful naked sail across to Ibiza as the sun goes down.

Real sailing, boat maintenance, and clothing-optional liveaboard life in the Balearics.
