Pretty decent blow in Puerto Pollenca

We had a pretty sizeable blow come into Puerto Pollenca which its fair to say created a bit of mayhem.

There were about three or four boats that detached from their mooring and were washed onto the rocks or ashore. There were also a couple of others that sunk whilst tied up at the port……..real crying shame.

This chap was pretty lucky as his yacht missed the rocks and wasn’t really damaged when it came ashore and it was safely re launched a couple of days later.
