In a marina

Well, you probably know by now, but we are in Palma de Mallorca!
We had a good trip from Horta and encountered good winds acroos the Atalantic to Gibraltar, but just off Gibraltar the wind came up nd was directly on the nose, so that made it unpleasant. However with just a mainsail up and effectively 2nd reef, we motorsailed into the wind and made it in to the Med!
We continued to motorsail and then just motor as once through the Gibraltar Strait, the wind dropped away and we couldn't sail well.
We called in to Catagena on the way to ensure we had enough diesel to get to Palma and late afternoon on Monday, 18 July we arrived.
We are now having repairs done and the boom looked at once again witht he view to getting it sorted so that no one has to worry/stress over it.
So thats it in a nut shell!
Cheers
