I am suffering too. We were going to spend the week on the island, now I’m at this fabulous restaurant on a golden beach with a deep blue sea as background. Suffering is what I do best???
Med boaters - will you get to your boat this year?

By popular demand, we ate there and then had a beach walk

That is the problem. I’m just a pleb on a beach without a boat ?

and flying out to Mallorca to see the boat on Tuesday 
. However easyjet in their wisdom cancelled 95% of flights until mid July so have to go from heathrow . Boat should be A1 as already been lifted, serviced and even the seakeeper should be in A1 condition. Beer fridge broke last year so surely that will be fine!

Just a word of warning. We flew from Heathrow on Tuesday morning and it wasn’t fun! Bag drop on business was 40 minutes, security was another 35 minutes. It seemed that there was no where near enough staff even for the small numbers flying!and flying out to Mallorca to see the boat on Tuesday
also people looked like they had “forgotten “ how to fly! Leaving laptops and liquids in bags etc and not emptying pockets, arriving with cases over the weight limit and so on. Make sure you leave enough time.

Having a good time in Sant Carles, ran out of the marina yesterday for a trip to Puerto Las Fuentes, about 28nm South of SCM for a few nights, great trip, great weather and good friends, good to be back on the water again. Off to El Pina restaurant tonight....!

As of this morning in Balearics.
Spanish PM announces UK travelers to Balearic Islands will have to show PCR test or be fully vaccinated

That seems to be the standard most countries are adopting. Seems sensible.

Not a surprise - and sounds sensible.
Presume that means that Uk children (who are not eligible for the vaccine) will have to do a pcr test?

From doing a bit more reading it looks like children under 12 are exempt from the need for either a negative pcr test or being fully vaccinated.

Virus is unable to differentiate between blood cells and serum in adults and “ children “
Something magic does not happen as your age .
Here in Italy there vax program is down to 12 .
TBA in the U.K.
But ultimately as more and more folks are vaxed up there will only be those unvaxed regardless of age left for the virus to mutate in .
I guess there will a pause then a risk benefit analysis exercise once the EU are down to 12 yr ?
Nothing is without risks .

It applies to all of Spain, not just the Balearics. Seems it’s being reported as above because they expect more visitors to the islands because of their green list status.

The rest of Spain is not on the Green list, I believe.

Correct. But the new entry rules apply to all of Spain. Coming back to the U.K. is quite a different matter.

We got back a few days ago from the boat in Spain, now doing or 5 day to release isolation. To be honest, I think this is a wise move by spain. Opening things up to untested uk travellers seemed really silly to me. I'll be fully vaccinated by our next visit end of July and my girlfriend will just need a pcr... no big deal

Think about the end game ultimately?
It’s all gonna be credible vax proof test * and just before you travel a neg antigen .
There is no more one can do that’s it distilled down to the minimum risk(s) all round .
Both directions .Failures leaving are barred .Failures incoming isolate and go through a re test regime .
Any where to anywhere and back in Europe or the wider world .
* Agreed approved vax for the region you intend to visit .
Eg Sputnik s not E MA ( European Medical agency / authorities) so ban Russian s and Hungarians coming in .
Which brings me round to fraud and corruption seeing I have mentioned “ Russians” .
Never mind about HMS Defender , that s a cake walk incident to potential Russian dodgy vax , tests and fake docs .Mutant spreading potential as they cheat around Europe .
Put simply avoid places they go .......for now until some credible governance can be put in place . My view this Russian aspect .
