Damn... didn't realize you were headed to Majorca. I have some friends who
own a great little restaurant there. You have to order a day ahead, but it's
worth it.

I finished writing my trip report for my BVI trip. I'll post it soon.

My second trip to Spain was interesting also.

During a side trip to Majorca I spotted the schooner I cruised
to Hawaii in back in 1997. It was docked at the harbor in Palma.
That was a surprise and a treat to see. I got a picture but the
yacht was partially blocked by passing traffic and the seawall.

My one day sailing was boring. Light winds on a Bavaria 36.
These are boat that use thimbles and crimp swages for their
lifelines. No pelican hooks or quality swqage fittings. Overall,
the quality was slightly lower than I would have expected of a
boat of this class.

I did see an interesting one design fleet. The boats were about
28 feet long with open transoms and swing keels. Most were
dry sailed. I saw only five in slips. The total fleet size was
about 25 boats. I did not take any pictures. Does anyone have
an idea of what they could be?

During the tour of the Maritime Center, I took dozens of photos.
That was perhaps the most interesting part of the trip. I'll post those
next week.
