Forget to start this app as we left π Had two lovely nights at anchor on Formentera love this location. The water was as always the bluest of blue and so clear, and thankfully no jellyfish. Iβd been caught twice at Portinax, wow did they hurt but boiling hot water relieved them along with nuramol and antihistamine cream - but still, didnt want another scar. Yesterdays predictwind was not looking too good so decided we would make an eatly start to get ahead of the impending storm, according to local news they were expecting upto 140km wind π΅βπ« so this morning we were up and away at 4am. However as these things sometimes go, the wind veered overnight and headed off towards Africa, luckily for us. The anchor came up very easily and off we set. Nice light breeze, not many other boats out there except the one that had been at anchor close by to us. The sun came up at 6:50am made a brief appearance through the clouds. Took it in turns to each have a 2 hour nap and whilst I was enjoying mine I heard loud noises above, dolphins had come to say hello. First time for James to see them at close quarters so made his day. Other than a flock of birds that I saw nothing to comment on. On a berth in Calpe marina for the night Iβm and then final push back to Torrevieja. Correction - Predictwind should not have changed their minds weβre currently sitting under a thunderstorm in the pouring rain and high winds, thankfully RCNC had space for us so we can sit back and relax
