Tuesday 17th May We have discovered an
excellent chandlery - a bit like Arkwight's store - on the marina and have paid
several visits! Having shopped for fresh food, we left Santa Eularia for Cala
San Vincente, an anchorage about 9 miles North, for an overnight stop before
crossing to Mallorca.The day was sunny and warm, so D had a swim and we had a
relaxing afternoon reading in the cockpit. The cove is quite small but with a
nice beach but also a couple of uninspiring hotels, from which we were 'treated'
to the disco music and a salsa class on the beach. During the night thw wind
shifted, making the swell more uncomfortable, so we we were glad it was only for
one night.
Wednesday 18th May. Motored all the way
to Santa Ponsa on Mallorca, through a headwind and some swell. The wind would
have given excellent sailing if we hadn't wished to arrive that day in Mallorca.
Several sightings of dolphins along the way but these have been more intent on
feeding than playing in our bow-wave. Anchored in Cala Santa Ponsa overnight but
the forecast is for some rain and stronger winds, so will have to monitor the
situation and see if it prompts us to find a marina berth
somewhere.
