We Broke Our Boom Vang: Did the Part Arrive in Time? | Sailing Helios S04E16

We broke our boom vang off Mallorca's north coast — now we're in Menorca waiting for the replacement part.Our next stop is the stunning Cala Addaia, a protected bay hidden behind a narrow, tricky channel. We're here for one reason: to collect a package that could fix our vang. But we're also on a deadline — family is waiting in Sardinia, and if the part doesn't show up, we'll have to leave without it. While we wait, we explore this beautiful corner of Menorca — grabbing a coffee at the local café, stocking up at the tiny supermarket, and soaking in the scenery of one of the Balearics' best-kept secrets. Will the part arrive before we have to go? Let's find out. 📍 Location: Cala Addaia, Menorca, Balearic Islands 🛠️ The Fix: Boom vang replacement (see S04E13 for the break) 🚢 Next: Sardinia — if we can get there!
