Cala D'Or

After a 20 mile journey on the motor due to very little wind, we have arrived in a small fishing village on the east coast call Cala D'Or.

The entrance to the bay that the marina is in was sketchy to say the least! There was 1.5m swell being channelled into an opening of about 50m wide with nasty looking rocks on both sides, once we had surfed the waves into the bay the depth dropped of to 0.3 in the channel approaching the marina! We tied off to the fuel dock and went to find a marinera to direct us to our berth for the night. He directed us down one of the narrowest marina channels I have seen yet, at some points we could almost touch the bow rollers of the boats lining both sides! He assured me the channel was deep enough for our 2.2m, he left out that at some points it was only 2.3m, 10cm clearance is not a lot! I am going to try and video our exit tomorrow!
