Floating Shipyard

Amongst many other routine maintenance projects under taken while not out at sea. Here's a before and after.

Short but sweet

Guests of Steve arrived on Monday evening with a bit of an unfortunate delay for them. Not to worry however as our 'Stand by to stand by' mentality quickly came into play. Dinner was served at around 12 giving everybody plenty of time to settle into boat life.

Floating shipyard mode

So were back in Palma but there's no rest for the wicked...I'm lying, we are having some R&R. We have 7 days until we sail away once again, so were squeezing in a little swim platform paint touchup, full rig polish, Mats pulled the ceiling apart in the master state room to source a hydraulic leak and the girls are provisioning for the next trip. There's always something happening to keep the boat in as pristine conditioning as possible.

Bon voyage Derek and Daphne

We were excited waking up in Mahon to find 15kts of wind actually blowing in a sailable direction. We were blessed with this the whole trip back across to Mallorca, not only saving money on fuel but giving us what were all here to do...sail this beauty. This isn't to say we haven't sailed much on this [...]

Memories of Menorca

Amazing stuff...We have managed to break away from the spectacular coast line and culture that Mallorca has to offer and make the short hop across to Menorca. Just in time for Sant Juan celebrations that is the place to be for this on the Balearic Islands, if not Spain as a whole.

We have an artist on board

I'm not sure how she keeps her brushes so steady to produce such masterpieces while under way. But I tell ya...this girl got talent.

Amazing stuff...We have managed to break away from the spectacular coast line and culture that Mallorca has to offer and make the short hop across to Menorca. Just in time for Sant Juan celebrations that is the place to be for this on the Balearic Islands, if not Spain as a whole.

The silhouette of Menorca's coastline can be seen from just a few miles after leaving the coast of Mallorca. The nearer we get the more you see how much flatter it is as an island.

Our first port of call was Cuitadella where all the locals and people from all over Spain were pouring in to party on the streets for the famous Sant Juan festivities.

Cala Fornels was our second anchorage which was a much more chilled location because we believe all the locals and tourists were still over in Cuitadella nursing there hangovers from the night before. The difference in architecture from port to port is very striking. From the very traditional Cuitadella to the almost 'pop-up' style of Cala Fornels.

Last but not least of our Menorcan adventures was the famous natural deep water harbour of Mahon. We went stern too here as we usually do in Mahon which was a real treat for everybody. Derek and Daphne took an hour long road trip around the city on the road train which was the way to do it style. Rumour has it Mayonnaise was born here which was music to Alex'x ears.
