For various reasons we are involved in a lot of to and fro between our boat in the Med and the UK this season. This will involve leaving it for two periods of just over a month each time. I think I have resolved the first period but the second parking problem occurs in June/July when we plan to be in the Balearics and when marina charges start to climb. I know that some of the old Med hands, faced with this situation, opt for a haul out and storage ashore at this time when hardstanding is freely available. I could use some of the time to do the usual antifoul etc, before the family join towards the end of July, but I wondered if anyone had experience of doing this and if indeed it was cheaper. I have been looking at Mahon, but I suspect I may run into problems with Spanish rules on DIY work and living on board.
