We made it to Mahon, Menorca just before dark yesterday. We had great sailing conditions the entire way from Sardinia, making the crossing of about 250 miles in 33 hours. The waves changed on us around 6 am yesterday & made it noisy & rough, so we were glad to get in last night & have a quiet night. We caught a black fin tuna yesterday morning, so Mother Ocean continues to smile upon us with her fruits of the sea! At this point, Shadow has no interest in kitty kibble.
Mahon is the capitol of Menorca. They have a naval base here; one of their ships (looks like an old American one)headed out past us this morning playing some music. It’s a beautiful town with a gorgeous natural harbor. We’re heading to town today; they have a daily market. Next we’ll head to the south side of the island & visit Cala Cove & Cala en Porter, where we’ve been told by friends to visit the Cave Bar.
Jamey mentioned he goes to Google Earth to look at the places we’re visiting. Others might enjoy doing the same.
