Forget sunrise slips, today we had a 5am pitch black stealth exit from the marina.

Strangely only Tom and I woke up for that special treat.

The plan was to get back to Palma for 4pm in time for PCR tests and watching the Spain game, whilst also leaving some leeway for a swim.

We had an uneventful motor down the west coast, taking power naps on the fenders once the others woke up.

We arrived in Sant Elm at 10am, which we picked for our final swim stop as it had easy mooring buoys and looked stunning on Sailing Adhara’s Instagram. It was so beautiful and reminded me that although we’ve now circumnavigated the island, there’s so much more to explore of Mallorca. I’d love to come back and stay just in that one bay for a week!

As we left, the wind surprisingly picked up and we were able to get a great sail towards Palma bay. Unfortunately the wind angle meant we needed to head quite far out of the bay, straight for Ibiza, extending our trip home. Ole, TG and I helmed back to Adriano and then motored past Magaluf back to Palma.

Quick handover at the base and we’re now waiting at the PCR test centre before a huge night out celebrating Spain’s win 🤞 ⚽️. 

A perfect sailing trip - thank you to both sets of crew and Mallorca for being FABULOUS. 

Final day stealth slip & mega sail 🕵️‍♂️
