To
be assured of a good anchoring spot in Cala Portals you either get there before
the day tripping boats arrive or as they're leaving so we were up early on Monday
morning to beat the crowd. There was very little wind so we motored the short
distance around the corner with Marc and Karen winging about early start.
They’d obviously got too accustomed to the sleep ins of the last week or so.

We
were beginning to feel like locals here this being our third visit. We were
able to drop anchor in our favourite spot just off the beach in the most
sheltered corner of the bay. The only difference to our previous stays was a
heavy rock breaker and excavator working on a construction site on the hill. So much
for the serenity.

This
time the wind did what was predicted and while we had some rain and overcast in
the morning the sunshine took over for
the rest of our stay. As always in Cala Portals it was a case of swim, read,
snorkel, tan, a bite to eat, a glass of wine and most of all, relax.
We got word on Tuesday morning that our radio was
back at last so we made arrangements to go back to Palma the next day to get it
fitted and to have an insurance assessor have a look at the boat
so we could arrange repairs.
It
may have been a short stay in Cala Portals but it was another good one.

Wow... crowded. Also lovely. But those powerboats... seariously? You chaps should make sail to the Canaries, and then out to the Caribbean. This season for certain it's out beyond and out of there to the Pacific for us... But with some considerable regrets... Aye, S+C
