Chanty loved the floating dock as she could at last run around freely off the boat, checking out other boats Med-moored and the fish in the water. Her cat memory was no doubt sparked from the time she grew up hanging around the boats and docks at a marina in Langkawi Malaysia where she adopted us.

The capital of Menorca is Mahon (aka Mao) and has a long and interesting sea-going history. The streets of this quietly elegant town rose steeply up from the harbour where we found the town larger than it appeared from the waters below. Up we traversed to what appeared to be similar to many of the old towns we have seen in the Med, but slightly more modern looking. And a frequent stop for cruiseship passengers.

We even saw a beautiful mermaid at the harbour...
It poured hard off and on for a couple of days where we hid out beneath leaky umbrellas of outdoor cafes while Sea Turtle was getting some of the salt washed off.

Love your blog. We are still in Lanzarote Marina where Danica is getting some work done in preparation for the Atlantic Crossing at the end of November. We will leave her at Rubicon Marina, on the south tip of the island, when we fly home for four weeks. When I first started reading your blog three years ago I had no idea that sailing was in my cards as well. You guys were such an inspiration!! Glen and I hope to connect with you at some point.Fair winds until then. Mary
