With friends joining us and perfect weather on the horizon, we were ready for an unforgettable weekend. From stunning anchorages and crystal-clear water to an iconic stop at Blue Marlin Ibiza, the trip started perfectly. But things quickly took a dramatic turn in Formentera when a mooring buoy failed — and a neighbouring yacht began drifting towards the rocks. With no one aboard and the boat rapidly approaching the coastline, we jumped into our dinghy to attempt a rescue. It was tense, chaotic, and a powerful reminder of just how fast things can go wrong when you’re living at sea. We issued a PAN PAN to the coast guard and neighbouring boats for help and watched on as emergency crews tried to prevent the yacht from being wrecked. As regular mooring buoy users, this experience has changed the way we think about tying up and leaving our yacht on a buoy. If you're planning to cruise in Formentera, the Balearics, or anywhere in the Med, this is a must-watch.
