We spend the night in Puerto de Cabrera, the natural port of the main island. Puerto de Cabrera 39°08'54.5"N 2°55'43.9"E The port entrance is hidden until you are in a lovely large sheltered bay, with mooring buoys with a 15th Century castle on the port side, that rises from a clump of stones. Entry is possible in all winds, but would be challenging in strong north winds.  See more: https://youtu.be/1T1Jo3MHHMc #mallorca #sailing #sailors

The yellow stingray (Urobatis jamaicensis) is a species of stingray in the family Urotrygonidae, found in the tropical western Atlantic Ocean from North Carolina to Trinidad. This bottom-dwelling species inhabits sandy, muddy, or seagrass bottoms in shallow inshore waters, commonly near coral reefs. Reaching no more than 36 cm (14 in) across, the yellow stingray has a round pectoral fin disc and a short tail with a well-developed caudal fin. It has a highly variable but distinctive dorsal color pattern consisting of either light-on-dark or dark-on-light reticulations forming spots and blotches, and can rapidly change the tonality of this coloration to improve its camouflage. Relatively sedentary during the day, the yellow stingray feeds on small invertebrates and bony fishes. When hunting it may undulate its disc to uncover buried prey, or lift the front of its disc to form a "cave" attractive to shelter-seeking organisms. This species is aplacental viviparous, meaning that the developing embryos are sustained initially by yolk and later by histotroph ("uterine milk"). Females bear two litters of up to seven young per year in seagrass, following a gestation period of 5–6 months. Though innocuous towards humans, the yellow stingray can inflict a painful injury with its venomous tail spine. This species is taken as bycatch by commercial fisheries and collected for the aquarium trade; it may also be negatively affected by habitat degradation. Nevertheless, it remains common and widespread, which has led the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) to list it under Least Concern.

The Oyster 53 just might be the best cruising platform in its size. With some 55 hulls sold, the model is well regarded as a benchmark in Blue Water Sailing circles. Features like robust hand-built construction, a bright and airy saloon, high freeboard, a roomy interior, protected cockpit, ease of handling and comfort at sea are all characteristics of the Oyster 53 design. LUMA has the preferred 4 cabin layout and warm teak interior with teak and holly soles. She was built in the Windboats yard in the UK.
