Whilst the UK is enjoying a heat wave, we are wrapped up in thermals and woolly hats! We are still pinned down in Palma by a very strong cold easterly wind so our cunning plan to extend our sailing season by coming to the Med in March has not yet worked out. But we live in hope and are keeping our fingers crossed that we might be able to set sail hopeful in the middle of next week.

In the meantime we have enjoyed some fabulous walking in the mountains and are getting to know Palma pretty well. It's a sailing Mecca and some of the yachts are a sight to behold. One good result is that we are well on top of our jobs list - which fellow sailors will know is normally quite long!
