When we re-visited our favorite anchorage in Formentera, we first thought that the bay was also visited by a cruise ship. On close inspection, it dawned on us that this was not a cruise ship, but rather the private boat of price Abdul Aziz.
We saw his majesty Aziz run his jet ski at full speed through the swimmers area straight onto the beach. The first jet ski was closely followed by a special forces type of guy on another jet-ski following at more moderate pace. This demonstrated a few things to us:
Abdul Aziz has:
- No respect for the safety of those around him (cutting at speed through the swimmers area)
- No respect for the environment (just look at the size of the stacks on the yacht)
- No respect for equipment (the jet ski ended up several meter above the water line after shoving it on the beach)
- No respect for his own life (he did not wear a life jacket, as opposed to his special forces guard)
Because of the reasons mentioned above, and possibly a few other ones, the security was thight around his highness. Not only was he followed closely by the special forces guy, every night the yacht lifted anchor and floated towards the open sea. In the morning he would be back. This went on for every night we spent at anchor in the Balearics.
