From Formentera to Cartagena (Spain)

The Nokia phone rang at 7 in the morning and we directly left the anchorage. Our target is Cartagena in Spain and we want to cover as much distance as possible today. So most likely we will sail through the night but we will decide half way. We still have the option to reach the coast earlier and sleep somewhere. Breakfast was done on the way and i was amazed that Olaf is drinking at least as much coffee as i do :-) So we already had to cook coffee twice this morning. The sun is out and temperature around 25 Celcius. The wind is weak but at least from south east. Currently one engine is running at around 2000rmp doing 5knots but i will try to bring up the sails now and see what we can gain from that. It is now 11.40 and we have 108NM to go which means roughly 21hours from now.
