Ep 23 | Wind, Waves & Thunderstorms!
Sailing the North -West coast of Mallorca is a real pleasure and the lack of tourists this year means us yachties have the place to ourselves!
We did have some exciting weather though and a scary moment as our mainsail halyard broke at the worst possible time. We had a really good passage from Mallorca to Menorca though, where we are now seeing more boats but still not many holiday makers on land.
We wanted to get to Mahon, Menorca’s capital, quickly as thats where our dinghy has been sent. It’s a True Fit 2.5 meter dinghy from New Zealand and looks great. As your dinghy is basically your car while you’re cruising we now feel like we’ve got a Mercedes to travel around in rather than a scooter!
