Sounds hectic! Was such a lovely place to moor for the night when we went! 

Left Soller in very light winds. Heading out, we put up the staysail and the main with one reef to see how it works. As soon as we were done, the wind died completely so we motored to Sa Calobra where we anchored up to spend the afternoon and night there. It was a very peaceful afternoon and evening so we had no idea what was to come. 

We got woken up at 2pm by the wind howling down from the mountains. All the boats were spinning around uncontrollably and a couple of them had to move not to hit the rocks. We were ok but we kept the engine running for about an hour when it was at its worst to be ready to move should the anchor snap. I spent a very peaceful night here last year but not sure I’ll risk again. I have heard about this wind suddenly coming down from the mountains and it is completely unpredictable mountains 😵‍💫
