Just to say that in the end we went for the Tudor Dawn Sunset cruise
It was wonderful
They have a capacity of 12 for their sunset cruise but we were very lucky as we were a party of 6 and nobody else joined us that evening so we had the whole boat to ourselves. It may have been a Bit too cosy had there been 6 more people with us
Simon and Susie made us very welcome .... Some of us just chilled and admired the sailing ..... We were fortunate to catch a fine warm breeze so got up quite an exhilarating speed. Those who wanted to, lent a hand with the ropes and took the wheel ..... It was all very low key and relaxed.
We sailed round to a secluded cove near Formentor, which of course I have convinced myself was the Mad Dogs bay
, and snorkels and fins were provided ..... We all jumped into the crystal clear sea and had a great time swimming with the fishes ...... And there were plenty of them thanks to Simon scattering half a loaf of bread just where we were all snorkelling.
Once back on board and dried off, Susie prepared us a lovely tray of Tapas and we were offered wine, beer or soft drinks as we sailed back into the sunset
A great time was had by all aboard a lovely old wooden sailing boat .... An opportunity that doesn't present itself every day.
Our party consisted of 4 over 40's and 2 older teens but I would say it is an experience that would be enjoyed by all ...... The boat has steps so it isn't compulsory to jump into the sea or even to go into the sea at all .... We just dared one another to jump and being a competative bunch, we all did.
What was all the more amazing was that we managed all of this the day after some friends of ours had led us astray until the early hours lol
