3rd July

We had a frisky wind last night. He boat kept swinging round getting tangled up in our mooring buoy. When the buoy bounces against a hull the noise echoes throughout the boat suggesting something terrible is taking place on deck. I had to get up twice in the night to sort it out. We also had a rain storm which deposited red dust over the decks. Lucinda did a great job washing it all off, although it might have been better to close all the hatches beforehand. The forecast for today was for high winds and possible rain. We were intending to go to the small cove that had no room for us the other day. However with the forecast as it was I wanted a secure berth for the night. We therefore decided to head straight for the Port D'Andratx, thus missing the whole of Palma bay including Magaluf. It was a fast but somewhat bumpy passage. We are now secure on a buoy just off the old town.
