Espalmador - Formentera

Image
We reached Formentera at 2100 and realized that mooring buoys were in place. So we grabbed on and tied LinoCat to it. After nice spanish sausages and icebergsalad for dinner we decided to go to bed early. We also had the red MOJO sauce which was still on board from the Canary islands and the red peppers which were from the caribbean. All washed down by a Piton beer from St Lucia :-)

From Mallorca to Ibiza/Formentera

We got up at 7 and we both slept well. Olaf bought a warm baguette and then Ludger Peters from the Lagoon 380 "Green Duck" visited us. He recently bought his boat in Italy and is now on the way to Wismar. He will stay in Real Club Nautica tonight and then follow the same route. So after a chat we left at 8.30 and motored away because the wind was zero. I did a safety briefing with Olaf and we adjusted one life vest for him. around noon the wind picked up and now was coming more from the port side and so we set sail but we kept one engine running because we needed speed if we wanted to arrive in daylight in Formentera. From the current wind and swell direction i picked Cala Sahona as a possible anchorage. 4-6m deep and sand well protected against southerly wind and swell. We agreed that we will decide in the evening if we anchor or directly sail through the night. Currently Olaf is having a nap and so lets see how our mood is later. The last butane bottle has been put in actio
