Next Island new adventure

Well we are in Menorca and in Mahon Harbour and it is beautiful but every adventure has a big story and I think we have had ours and are now storing it out.
    Our sail over to Menorca was interesting as the weather was mixed left in sunshine but ther were black clouds about and a squall came over and Ray got very wet I put on waterproofs and we continued sails out in and reefed etc. a good work out for the crew and as Mallorca disappeared in a black cloud so infront of us appeared Menorca in sunshine so first bay/cala on the south west corner of Menorca was our home for the night and the water to swim in was refreshing. The next morning the sun ws shining so head east to Mahon to meet up with a guest on saturday. Arrived at a beautiful Cala Porter and spent the night sandy beach and lovely cliffs. The next day sailed on and got to Mahon on friday to prepare and shop for food however it was Fiesta week-end and they know how to party here and the shops are all shut! So party and eat out a good time was had by all and Ray has photo's and will show you the Fiesta.
   On sunday we set sail all the south coast and not much wind but it filled in and we had a great sail and decided to take Mich  to Cala Porter as we loved it and a swim ashore to the bar was possible, to enter the Cala we started the engine to furl the sails as it is a narrow entrance and we had smoke coming out of the engine compartment and a different engine noise yes Josephine's engine was on fire so the fire extinquisher was deployed well 3 to put the fire out and we turned out to sea to sort ourselves out and plan what to do next Skipper Ray was great calm and we had good wind direction to sail into the Cala no other boats in there so plenty of room to manover and drop the anchour quickly as no engine = no breaks! so in we go anchoured ok then the 2nd anchour out quickly to stop us swinging into the cliffs. Safe and sound!
     We are now in Marina Menorca getting the engine fixed an electrical fire started it we think by the starter motor. Mich our guest for the week sadly has not experienced much of Menorca and not much sailing alot of Mahon and tender rides to get about.

     Anyway we are all well and now experienced fire fighters ( wish we weren't ) and Josephine has or is getting as I write new wiring.
     Adove is Ray and Mich enjoying a drink during the fiesta.
