Yacht Ula cruises the coast of Menorca, Spain, navigating anchorages including Mahon, Cala del Fondo, Esgrau, and Fornells. After departing Mahon following a stay of several days, the crew sails south along the eastern coast, averaging 2.5 to 3 knots in light winds of 6 to 13 knots.6:20 They explore local anchorages by kayak, noting that Esgrau offers sandy holding and a dinghy dock, while Cala d'Addaia—a narrow inlet often cited as a hurricane hole—feels too confined for safe swinging in high winds.17:36 As weather forecasts predict winds reaching 40 knots in the north, the crew transits from Fornells toward the southern coast to seek more sheltered conditions.18:03 During the passage down the west coast, they encounter increased sea states and lively conditions while jibing.18:56 The crew notes that local authorities in Mahon enforce a three-day stay limit, and they observe that speed restrictions for small vessels in Esgrau remain largely unenforced.7:48
