Today we have had a great sail to windward in
25kts. Minka loved it and we did do a bit of reefing but at the end we had a
very steady 18 kts true which kept the lee deck in the water as I got bored with
reefing.
 Great fun. John hasn't done this sort of sailing
before so he had a great time on the helm.
 We had to put a ten mile tack in but after that we
made it around every headland with a tad to spare.
 Minka is now safely tucked up in Mazarron where she
will stay when I fly back on Saturday for a couple of weeks. John has kindly
volunteered to help me give her a good clean tomorrow and then we are sharing a
taxi to the airport. His next yacht is very close to that so he will join it and
set off to the Balearics. It is a Jeaneau 37 which he was on last week so an
interesting contrast for him.
