Illa de Formentor

Sailed across the bay in 10kt SE with occasional strong gusts. Anchored off Illa de Formentor for snorkel/swim. Dora had a little dip! As we left anchorage, found that job halyard was fouled. Returned to shelter of island to sort it out. Noted that care to be taken when hoisting main while on berth if wind is blowing sail forward of the mast Noted that power meter is always showing 100%. Check next time

S’Illot

Motored round to S’Illot then anchored for a swim/snorkel. Then sailed back to Bonaire with Martin while mutinous Carrie walked the plank and swam back. Yummy beer and tapas in the bar to finish
