Tuesday May 19th. The new crew wander into Mahon town and revitualise the boat followed by coffee over looking the harbour.
The wind is 15-20 kts NE today but gale force tonight so we plan to return to a safe harbour tonight. It's Gray and Corey's first time on a yacht so we reach along the south coast with a couple of reefs in 20kts to Cala en Porter where we attempt to anchor for lunch a few meters of the beautiful white sandy beach. Unfortunately there is no shelter and the breeze keeps dragging the anchor so we take a slow cruise back to Mahon under the cliffs.
We go stern too on the town quay again this time our neighbours are a 100ft J class with 43m mast (6 spreaders) here for the regatta next week. The delivery crew include a pregnant girl and 12 year old plus a few salty yachties.
Forecast overnight gales maybe dropping slightly lunchtime tomorrow.
The crew make the most of a late start and compare and contrast playlists with the help of various alcoholic beverages.
