Underway from Sardinia to Mallorca

Current position heading west: N39*04.719, E007*08'.008

After a few days of exploring the South Western corner of Sardinia we are back underway again and heading to Mallorca in the Balearic Islands. We had just enough time to explore the lovely old town of Sant'antioco and stock up on provisions at the large Lidl Supermarket which seem to be popular here in Italy. Blue Moon wasn't neglected and Jimmy got to work doing an oil change on the engine and replacing oil and fuel filters while I fought the continuous battle of keeping salt and dirt off the decks.

The weather window has opened for a three day passage so we're making the most of the flat calm seas and motor sailing along. We should arrive Saturday morning in Porto Colom on the South eastern coast of Mallorca. The moon is still blessing us with it's presence so we have a beautiful bright clear night to look forward to...Just a shame we have to listen to the engine.
