Strong wind in Port Andratx

Saturday, March 7th, 2009

The storm drags the two boats over rocks ten meters long
Port d’Andratx again suffered the consequences of the storm-wind the last few hours. As in December, the core ‘andritxol’ was one of the hardest-hit areas and two boats of more than ten meters long term headway.

The situation was worse last night when one of these two ships, two sticks and fourteen feet long, which was anchored near the lighthouse andalusia big break came off the moor. The boat was dragged into the rocks that are next to the bridge washed away by the storm two months ago. Several local police patrols and the Civil Guard went to the place and they suspected that people had in the boat. Finally the boat was empty, but it launched a device away from the rocks and secure the boat. Thus, a man climbed aboard with a rope that was tied to two cars, one of the Guardia Civil, to drag. The boat is still there because its owner, a German national, is on vacation in the Bahamas. The other boat aground, which ended in the small beach, was withdrawn yesterday morning by a crane. Another boat, in this case smaller was also dragged by the wind, in this case in Son Matias.

Port de Palma Accident

Saturday, March 7th, 2009

TWO passengers and three crew members on board the MSC Fantasia, the largest passenger ship ever constructed for a European ship owner, were rushed to hospitals in Palma yesterday after the giant liner on her maiden visit to Majorca slipped her moorings in the Port of Palma causing the main walkway to the passenger terminal to give way as passengers began to disembark.

One of the passengers fell from a height of about seven metres in to the sea and three crew members dived in to save him.
The 80-year-old Italian passenger apparently suffered serious head injuries after colliding with the hull of the liner.
A major emergency operation was mounted immediately with a fleet of ambulances descending on the port but fortunately, the four were plucked from the water quickly and rushed to hospital – the three crew suffering from mild hypothermia but the 80-year-old was in intensive care last night.

The fifth victim suffered an anxiety attack while a handful of other passengers were treated at the scene for mild panic attacks.
The MSC Fantasia had moored up in Palma shortly after 11am but the incident happened at 2.30 pm when, according to eyewitness and super yacht skipper John Sawyer there was a “big bang”. “I was on my balcony taking a look at the liner when I heard this big bang. “Being a skipper of large yachts I knew this was not normal so I rushed down to the port to see what happened. “There were ambulances everywhere and a lot of very nervous and alarmed passengers – some of whom were being treated for panic attacks at the scene. “It was immediately clear that the cruise ship had slipped her moorings and appeared to have been drifting across to the outer quay of the Dique del Oeste where the ferries normally berth,” Sawyer, a member of the Swedish Press Photographers Association, explained.

Camp de Mar Property

Friday, March 6th, 2009

Camp de Mar Property Mallorca

Camp de Mar is on the south-west coast of Mallorca, about 40 minutes drive along a new fast road out of the capital, Palma. The resort is a place to consider only if you really want to get away from it all. It lies just off the main road between Paguera and Andratx and just 3km south of Port d’Andratx on a beautiful winding road through pine forests.

The resort has a small sandy beach on its eastern side sheltered by the vertical walls of a rocky cove. To the west only rocks surround the sea but the views across the turquoise waters towards the villas overlooking the bay are fabulous. A pedestrianised walkway allows for a pleasant stroll along the seafront.

The rest of the resort consists of apartments, shops and villas. In fact a new, private villa complex (La Perla apartments ) near the golf course has been built by Taylor-Woodrow. Camp de Mar is quiet and ideal for anyone wanting a relaxing holiday without hustle and bustle.
