What this video covers
The crew of the Lagoon 410 S2 Suria navigates the northern coast of Mallorca, Spain, during a period of light winds.1:23 They anchor in several bays, including a spot near La Dragonera, where anchoring is prohibited and mooring buoys are required.2:37 In other locations, the crew encounters crowded anchorages with depths around 13 meters, noting that digital charts like the Posidonia Map often inaccurately identify seagrass beds where sandy bottom exists.8:05 Due to the high density of vessels and lack of wind, the crew maintains short scope—approximately 20 meters of chain—to avoid swinging into neighbors.6:11 They observe significant swell in narrow passages and near rocky shorelines, particularly when large motor yachts pass.3:16 The crew explores the area by stand-up paddleboard, noting steep, alpine-like terrain and hiking trails near Cala Tuent.16:29 After rounding Cap Formentor, they transit toward Pollença to collect a package before departing for Menorca.16:44
