Wednesday looks better for us regarding the lunch date, but Tuesday can work if it's best for others.

I'm anchored in Santa Ponsa near the warning marker surrounded by Jeanneaus, are you nearby? Is it easy to catch the bus into Palma from Santa Ponsa?

Hi Ken
Wednesday is fine with me if its fine with praire and spouse.
Catch the 104.

There is also the #102 that is half an hour faster cause it goes via highway

We are waiting out a blow in the northern tip of Sardinia enroute tomorrow to the Baleares....too bad we missed the group.

Wed afternoon works for us. What time Weavis?

Also Weavis, I understand there is a camping/survival/weapons store near Plaza Espana. I don't suppose you know where do you?

[Prairie Chicken]

We're back in Palma now awaiting a Std Horizon cable & the passerelle man. We were up close to the marina entrance; if you noticed a big Canadian flag, that was us.

The winds nearly always on the nose round Mallorca.. even if you turn 180*....

Meson el Rocio at 2 pm was what I was thinking. If that works for Kenomac ... We have a plan.

[Kenomac]

2:00 works for us. Going to try and talk capitangiorg into coming along... he's anchored next to us here in Santa Ponsa. I'd also be interested in the weapons/survival store.

Robert,

You didn't miss us. I'll be anchored here for another two weeks, and weavis will be here for most of July. Just get in contact when you arrive, and we can meet up again for Mallorca #2.

Ken

[Prairie Chicken]

Ah, one question...

How do we recognize each other? Weavis, do they know you at the bar?

[robert sailor]

Ken,
Thanks for the comeback, we expect to make Menorca before this weekend, weather permitting and after doing a week there we will be moving into your neck of the woods. Will drop a note to you when we are heading your way. Will Prairie Chicken still be around, can't have too many Canadians in one spot? It will be fun to put faces on to the names.

[Kenomac]

What? He's Canadian, you're Canadian... and I'll make it three. And my wife could see Canada from her back yard in Buffalo. Bet you didn't know.

[Prairie Chicken]

Well happy (almost) Canada Day!

RS, we'll be around until the middle of Jul, then back again in Sep so Gathering 2 might be doable.

We are still sorting out the new boat & were out a couple of weeks ago. We hadn't planned on anchoring, but all was well & decided to enjoy a night on the hook. The next day we returned to port & found a Canadian boat right next to us. This hasn't happened in 21 years so it was a bit of a surprise! Our Dutch neighbor was a bit concerned about our absence the first night, knowing we were still in shake-down mode. Anyhow, on our return he came over to tell us he had been concerned & called the coast guard to report a missing Canadian boat, & they told him not to worry, they'd send another one right over! .

See you all soon....
