Now at Alcudia.
Sailed round from Pollensa to Alcudia yesterday, left about 12 and arrived about 4 pm only about 12 miles but the wind was light (looks like the wind is very light for the rest of the week). However we sailed all the way and only had the engine on for 15 minutes to get out of the harbour and then to pick up the mooring - after having sailed up to Seawalk and surprised them at there mooring; it's good to see them again and catch up with their news. More later.

- Balchis
- Catch up on where we are and see some pictures. Balchis is a 32 1/2 foot Barbary Ketch designed by Walter Rayner and built in 1972 by Mitchells of Poole. Normally sailed on the west coast of Scotland (the Inner Hebrides) but also Ireland, Isle of Man and as far down as the Scillies. The outline plan is to leave Loch Feochan during the first week in July 2007 and end up in The Scillies by about the 24th July (via Canna). Then wait for favourable conditions to cross to North West Spain and head South at a leasurely pace to the Algarve for about October (- ish). For 2008 we are heading into the Med and the Balearics and then we will see which way the wind is blowing us... Been there - now heading back to Scotland during 2009.
