We arrived in Mahon, Menorca yesterday after only a 10 hour stop in Mallorca. We rested, we ate, we checked the weather and then we decided that it was time to head for Menorca, the last island in the Balearics. From here we go to Sardinia or directly to Sicily. We know that we will return for a more extensive tour of these beautiful islands before we leave the Med.
Today we spent in Mahon. It is a beautiful and historic city located beside the best harbour in the Mediterranean Sea, according to Lord Admiral Nelson. We are in an anchorage that I would rate a hurricane hole because it is surrounded by land and has a sand bottom with excellent holding. I have no problem leaving the boat unattended while we tour. So we will. We plan to take a bus trip back to the other end of the island tomorrow to Ciudella which was the former capital city of the island.
A few days here swinging at anchor while we wait for a decent weather window for the passage eastward towards the Adriatic Sea won't be too hard to take.
