| Alison and I |
We decided to head for Puerto de Pollensa although the sea was going to be rather lumpy after yesterday’s winds, as strong winds are forecast again from midnight tonight. We made slow progress against the wind and waves but arrived in Puerto de Pollensa about 5 p.m. and were delighted to see there were vacant buoys we could pick up instead of anchoring.
During the night there was fork lightning, thunder and then heavy rain and wind about 6 a.m. The wind was very strong the next day, gusting up to 40 knots, so we stayed on board until about 5 p.m. when we took the dinghy ashore to the Hotel Illa d'Or and met up with Alison, a friend from Swansea, and her family and friends, all from Swansea. We went back to her sister and brother-in-law’s beautiful villa which overlooks the bay.
We stayed in Puerto de Pollensa for a few days and signed up for two Adventure Dives, buoyancy control and multi-level with Scuba Mallorca. On the first dive, the instructor had problems clearing her ears and indicated we should follow another group. The dive was then aborted after 16 minutes because one of the people was choking. On the second dive, the instructor had five people to look after and did not give any real instruction. We certainly didn’t feel we could qualify for the Adventure Dives, so the school only charged us for one normal dive.
