After a peaceful night at anchor in a quiet bay on
the eastern side of Ibiza, we set off for Majorca about 0700 in bright warm
sunshine and zero wind, we had a great passage and the 55 miles slipped by at
our sedate 6 knots, no real wind until just off Majorca when we picked up a
Northerly force 3 to 4 which meant engine off, at last, and we soon had P3
scampering over the flat water of Palma Bay at a brisk 8 knots. On the way over
we came across 4 sperm whales, magnificent sight, 3 females together with a male
bringing up the rear, they stayed on the surface and were quite inquisitive,
coming within 30 feet of the boat, some good photos. Spent another peaceful nigt
at anchor off some little beach in Palma Bay and have just rung the Real Club
Nautico Of Palma amd been told we can have a berth for a couple of nights, so we
are off there shortly to do some much needed shopping and washing in preparation
for Ben Lindsay who are joining us tomorrow evening for a couple of
weeks.
