We arrived in Pollenca with a failing battery, worn jib halyard and Robert coming down with a bug so we have spent a fair bit of time split between the anchorage and marina.
We went into Pollenca on the bus which makes a nice day out, especially as the bus ride is via Cala Vincenze and is very scenic.
Pollenca bay is great for day sailing as it has anchorages dotted around it, is very scenic and a breeze invariably gets up late morning. The only downside is the wash from the motor boats; but that happens almost everywhere.
We managed to get into the marina to get check the battery before ordering a new one and to have a calmer environment to go up the mast to sort out a replacement jib halyard in the furler. Both tasks where completed Ok., but we have had to get a new battery. We have also to decide whether to give up on the furler at the end of this season and have a hanked jib.
We are now hoping to get over to Menorca.
Below are some pictures we took during this and a subsequent visit:
