Mahon, Menorca

We're here!  Left at 8.00am and all was calm as we left the marina.  However, it turned pretty nasty with a two metre sea on the beam.  Not pleasant and one of the crew members was sick a couple of times.  I was OK though!

Leaving Alcudia

Leaving Mallorca

A 'not very well' Mr Vaughan

After about three hours it settled down and we arrived here at 3.30pm. All tucked up in the marina now and ready for our curry - there's a great indian here!

All tucked up!
Mahon's a lovely place and lies about three miles inland.  Apparently, it's also the second deepest natural harbour in the world.  Not many people know that!

Check it out on Google maps!

We're planning to be here for two nights.  Off on Monday!

PS.  The boat behaved beautifully today and I'd like to say a BIG thank to everyone at A1 Marine in Mallorca who've spent many hours over the last few months servicing, repairing, cleaning and polishing just about everything on the boat.  You've all been absolutely brilliant and we will all (Me, Mart & Kuna) really miss you.  So, until next year.........
but - "I'll be back!"

  3. Making some progress hope everythings goi ng according to plan. Another good night at the oub last night. John is still buzzing about the Dylan night and is now planning to have simlar events on a more regular basis! If they're like the last one then they'll be worth attending.

    You'd better get some practice in I hope you're suitably equipped on the boat with a good selection of instruments.

    Keep the log gonming
