Atlantico in the Mediterranean

Sep. 11, 2007 - Quiet trip to Mallorca

Tuesday 11th September

 

We leave Santa Eulalia, Ibiza at a leisurely 10.00 hrs after shopping for provisions and set sail for Mallorca (wind OTFN as usual so we are actually motoring) on a beautiful hot day.  With autopilot set I (Nige) set about a little clean up and polish of the boat.  As always Norm is there ready to give a hand, in fact he seems to have done quite a lot of polishing this trip!  Anyway I’m working my way round the boat and I keep coming to numerous pink marks on the glassfibre which take some effort to remove.  Couldn’t work out what caused these stains until Norm suggested that the colour matched Tor’s toenail varnish and that maybe she should test it.  Sure enough we had found the cause.  So a note for any of you reading this, who we look forward to welcoming on board in the future – Ladies NO toenail varnish please, gents it’ll be ok for you as long as you wear socks!

Now we’ve arrived at Puerto Adriano, no relation, in the dark at 21.30hrs.  Friendly marianos help us moor up, we have a quick look round and realise we’ve entered Sunseeker City , Mallorca.  After quick showers we enjoy a pleasant Italian meal, Norm letching after young waitresses brings back memories from 30 years ago – love it.
