Sangria Party
05 May 2014 | Sherezade Bar, Santa Ponca, Majorca

Still seems strange typing "Majorca" as location. In my previous life wild horses wouldn't have got me here.
Still feel a bit out of place as I don't have tattoos the length and breadth of my body. But not to worry, there's plenty parlours awaiting my custom.
Having spent the last few hours with my head in the engine compartment I felt I deserved a break. Specifically, a litre of sangria in the Sherezade bar on the beach at Santa Ponca, Majorca.
Pat and Huw have gone to Palma for a day of culture. Two weeks with me has probably got to them and they need a fix.
The real reason they left was because after our rough ride over from Ibiza a 2 foot tear appeared in the mainsail. We've therefore had the sailmaker onboard today looking at a fix and maybe a new sail.
At the same time, our crummy from day one Yamaha outboard refuses to run so, just before I chuck it over the side, an engineer here is giving it one last look.
Work. Work, work!
Anyway, sail makers and engineers permitting we will head oop north for Soller where we will base for a week or two while we get things sorted out and see the island. This as opposed to our usual "must press on" mentality.
See how long we last!
