the anchorage in mahon was just pure bliss! wonderful water, calm and not a wave to disturb our well deserved sleep.
surrounded by huge stone walls, which happened to be part of the "la mola fortaleza isabel II" - a hugh fortress built 160 years ago to fight off any french or british invaders.
these days the fortress is a museum which can be visited...but one can´t escape the feeling, that it is all there and ready to go if needed - especially with spain´s biggest gun just waiting there.
scary and spectacular at the same time, i have to admit.
after a wonderful last evening spent with Andrew and Shelly, who sailed along side us from Carloforte to Menorca, we went on to Mallorca.
Beautiful circle of light in that pic!
