Leaving Pollenca

Tuesday 15th July 2014

Water like a mirror, reflections abound.......is what we awoke to this morning.

We broke the stillness as we paddled ashore.

Another trip to Pollenca on the bus to pick up a wifi dongle for the laptop...we really struggle to keep in touch with everyone and to get weather information etc, so decided that having some kind of mobile wifi would really help....

a coffee or two ashore and last minute supplies were fetched before boarding Windekind and sailing quietly away from our mooring.

We had a fantastic sail across Pollenca bay, past the headland and across Alcudia bay. BT spotted the mast of a yacht in a small cala on the far side of Alcudia bay and so we decided to go and investigate it as a possible spot to anchor for the night....it turned out to be perfect....really sheltered, clear turquoise water, not too busy and the place to watch the most amazing sunset.
