All booked we're off to the med

Well after much deliberation we are following the sun and heading to the Med!

In 3 weeks time I will hopefully be drinking a beer on the flybridge in the sun ???

Just in time for the 'Rafting' competition. Rick (CLOUD9) will be waiting for you with bated breath.

You will love Cala d'Or and find the folks there very friendly.

Have you been given a berth number yet?

Looking forward to seeing you and the family in Cala d'Or. If our experience so far is typical then you won't regret making the move to the Med for a second. And Cala d'Or has been a very good choice for us.

Hi Doug

I've been given a area at best but I'm sure Yann will once there, we have asked for a Berth half way up between the bars and the yacht club which he said was ok.

If the hustle and bustle (and expense) of Cala d Or ever starts to pall,Porto Petra just next door is a peaceful refuge.
Small working village where you can still actually hear spanish spoken .
Recommend Es Celler 9 mid priced,also a few budget places with a basic menu del dia on the water front.
A chum knows both places extremely well.
PM me if you need any info.He is always down there on his boat and knows anybody worth knowing.
It also stays open all year round.

Very nice I'm sure you will enjoy it. Of course if you want to join the Brits in Sant Carles for a pint it's only 120 nautical miles away?

And still waiting!!
Been delayed again by the shipping company now another week to wait, is this always like this?

Shipping waits until the boat is full.

So often you wait, and wait, and wait....

Shipping is a dark art with lots of factors that change. its usually the cargo that waits for the ship. the other way round gets VERY expensive VERY Quickly.

what ship are you booked to?
