We made our way once again out of the harbour in Addaya in calm conditions, this time we could clearly see that the sea was calm beyond the entrance, thankfully. We had less than 5 knots of wind so it was simply a case of motoring ourselves round to Mahon.
We knew we were approaching when we saw guns on the headland!! Oh and of course a tourist boat, this time a yellow glass bottomed catamaran…
The long entrance to Mahon harbour was as spectacular as we expected and with the sun shining we thoroughly enjoyed our couple of mile trip up one of Europe´s largest natural harbours, thankfully there was not much traffic so we simply concentrated on following the port and starboard buoy system. Once we radioed the marina we were directed onto our berth by the marinero Alex, who helped us moor between two large motor boats and then we were able to relax.
We are looking forward to spending an enforced few days here since we are hoping to get our Genoa sail repaired after it suffered some damage to the UV strip during our stormy trip to Fornells. There is also more stormy weather on the way so we think we´ll make the most of being in a fantastic location and explore a bit more of Menorca before we start to make our journey back to Mallorca after the weather front has passed (and hopefully the sail has been repaired).
