Bob flies home tomorrow, so we up anchored early, so as to be sure of a berth in one of the marinas in Palma.
 
Whilst we set off under motor in flat calm the wind soon filled in from the North, so sails were set and with a flat sea we made great progress.
 
The day was really made by the first wild life we had seen all week. A sword fish leapt out of the water not 10 metres from the boat, heading in the opposite direction. But not just once, five times it leapt about a metre in the air, landing on its side with a great splash. What a beautiful sight.
 
After a lovely sail we arrived early afternoon at the Club Nautica as recommended by China Blue. We are booked in for two nights Bob can get a taxi to the airport and we can have clean up and restock before pushing on.
 
We had a great sight-seeing tour on an open top London bus - so we now have a good feel for the town of Palma.
 
We spent Bob's last evening out at one of the local restaurants and then into a tiny Jazz club for a few more beers.
