Answer
What should boat owners in Mallorca do before a storm?
Boat owners should check mooring lines, double them if possible, and make sure fenders are properly positioned. In smaller harbors, it may be safer to move to a more sheltered berth if one is available. Poorly secured boats can damage each other and create problems in port areas when the wind strengthens.
