What this video covers

The crew of the Lagoon 410 S2 Suria sails from Formentera to Mallorca, encountering unforecasted 28-knot winds during a night passage that force them to reef the mainsail and swap the gennaker for a jib.2:06 Upon reaching the coast of Mallorca, they find the anchorage at Andratx crowded with boats over protected Posidonia seagrass, forcing a move to the bay of Cala de Monro.2:18 Heavy 1.5-metre swell makes the anchorage uncomfortable, prompting a relocation to Santa Ponsa.2:42 While anchored in Santa Ponsa, the crew performs maintenance, including replacing watermaker filters and cleaning mattresses soaked by a leaking hatch.2:59 They explore Palma by bus, visiting the cathedral, royal palace, and 10th-century Arab baths.4:31 The crew notes that Santa Ponsa experiences persistent swell and high boat traffic during the peak August season.13:09 They eventually depart for the northern coast of Mallorca, relying on engine power due to light winds and land-effect wind shadows.13:36
