Mallorca For Sunday Roast




With a not so good forcast and strong wind warnings it was a 4am departure and off to Mallarca for much anticipated Myra Sunday lunch and a chance to catch up with the Monroes,,
The wind as expected picked up around 10am after a stunning crimson sunrise, it was soon blowing around 30kts picking up a good size sea, Pete once again slipped quietly into his well rehursed coma while Malcolm and paul caught up with thier beauty sleep on deck,, right on que as the snoring started a fine size wave introduced itself, for a startled awakening of our sleeping beauties,,,

Mallorca soon appeared and we were met by Andreas, all moored by 5pm and off to Banyalbufar, the pretty hillside village on the rugged North West coast, which is home to the Monroes,
As expected the beer soon started to flow and a fine catchup evening was upon us.
Sunday saw a slow start as the cobwebs from the previous evening were showing no signs of an early departure,, even a brisk swim in the pool at around 15deg was shocking but not lasting,,
The mouthwatering feast expertly prepared by our hosts Myra and Wilton soon filled us and an early evening sleep was beckoning.
Monday and all rested and refreshed Myra, Wilton, Paul and Zoe joined us for a brisk sail around the Bay of Palma. .. flat sea and 20kts , fantastic,,
