9th June

Melanie and I went to find the Maddelena park office. It took some time but we got there. We obtained the 40% discount not available online for a permit for two nights to stay in the protected areas. Then we were told we could only anchor up to 10 p.m. but needed to be attached to a buoy if we wanted to stay overnight. One slight problem they hadn't got round to laying the buoys. Anyway we sailed to the next island and anchored in a sheltered bay. Over the afternoon several more boats joined us. We took the dinghy ashore and went for a walk. In the evening most of the boats were still at anchor so we decided to stay. By nightfall no one had asked us to move.
