Ready To Leave Menorca

After over a week at anchor near Mahon, we are looking for an opportunity to head east.  The winds look good for the next two days which will get us to Sardinia.  However, if the winds co-operate we would continue onwards to Sicily, the tip of which is 450 miles away.  But I am getting way ahead of myself.  One never knows what winds we will see once we leave, or even if the forecast will hold up for tomorrow.

While on Menorca we took a bus trip to the other end to visit Ciutadella, which we loved.  Yesterday we hiked over to some prehistoric ruins near Mahon.  The evening we spent on the beach cooking on a fire, which Maggie organised for the anchorage.  Among the folks present were Bob and Connie from Meredith, fellow Canadians that have crossed our paths several times before.  In fact, for a few days there were three Canadian boats in the anchorage and I think we must have made history.  The third was Noel and Ceu from Life Part II.

We will be reporting our position from sea enroute.  Pictures will have to wait until we get some good internet.
