PUERTO DE ANDRAITX - 39 32.7 N 02 22.8 E Last night Susannah took me for dinner to a restaurant
she’d been to before, when she stayed on a previous occasion. The place was wide
open, and we were freezing – there was an open space for performance. They
closed some of the doors, then the main act made his entrance in a white spandex
buttock clinging oufit, with a cheeky little hat, who proceeded to do acrobatics
climbing net curtains hung from above – very well executed, well up to Cirque de
Soleil standard. Next he performed on a swinging hoop. He came to our table and
explained he was a Catalan living in Today an early start at 07.10, a mirror glass sea, winds
variable 0-2, so we motored across to It was uneventful, apart from the usual avoiding trawlers bit, I never know how far their nets or lines are out, and may be super cautious, but I always try to keep well out of their way without deviating too much from my best course. We were told a marinerao would be waiting for us at the Club Nautico berths at Puerto de Andraitx, but there was no sign, in spite of repeated VHF assurances that he was just on the way. We circled about waiting – and were finally directed to berth alongside a reception pontoon, by a guy who could hardly have been less helpful, he almost refused to take the stern mooring line from me, and left it half on and half off the cleat, before wandering off telling us someone would be along later to direct us to another berth. So we were in P de A at around 16.30, and texted Clive
and Julia, who were joining us there, they were on the bus from Puerto de Andraitx was beautiful, calm, ringed by hills/mountains. Clive and Julia turned up about 5 ish, and we wandered into town (about 10 minutes), did a quick supermarket shop, S and I took the stuff back to Psyche, C and J off to find a restaurant. We met up after a bit of a search, they had gone to the far end of the strand, had a good meal, then back to crash out. Today we did 55 NM |
