Hi Maggers. Just got back from family hols down south (Ireland) and weather was excellent all week. Today is 23c and F2 onshore breeze Dublin Bay.
I have just read your poat re: your trip to Palma and send you a harty congrats and all the best for your Balearic experience.
Our last trip to Mallorca was in April and we found a lovely marina west of Palma - Port Adriano. There is a new owner to Utopia Restaurant (Fernando) who goes to great length to welcome all clients and the food is superb and very reasonable. Claudia Schiffer and clan were in there for lunch on our last day having berthed "Mona Lisa" by entering marina stern first and berthing to port past fuel dock.
Port Adriano...
I have more images if you are interested.
All the best,
Mick.
Oh dear, what a shame, never mind! Been a great day cruising around Portsmouth Harbour and a fantastic evening - I was able to top up my tan very nicely /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
However, it was still 25C and I've had a nice lazy day drinking and talking rubbish with other boat owners. Time passes so quickly here I don't know if I want to rejoin the rat race.
Hi Mick, nice day here also, hope you had a great hol. Out on a charter tomorrow (subject to weather, not looking good at mo). Just had boat lifted and scrubbed at Whitehaven, clocked 38.4knts on the way home to IOM on Wednesday.
Yup it happens, just open another bottle and wait for it to improve -which it most certainly will. Anyway it gives you chance to get to know the area landwise (supermarkets, eateries etc)
How are you finding the marina for location and atmosphere? The six lane highway cutting you off from Palma would be a bit of an issue for me I think.
Magnum, the Deleted User patented Med weather theorem states that when the weather is crap in the UK, its fine in the Med and vica versa. Since the weather is usually crap in the UK, that means its usually fine in the Med
Last year, when we first arrived in Majorca, our first two visits were marked with appalling weather, I received several text messages from "friends" on Windermere telling me how wonderful the weather was there /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
They haven't been able to do it since then /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
