7th June

Formentera here we come - well not exactly. The forecast was light winds and smooth seas. We were up and on our as dawn broke and back on at anchor by 9:30. As we left the shelter of our anchorage we could see that the forecast was way off. Winds of 30 knots gusting 35 were sweeping round the headland. I was certain it would ease off as we got away from land. An hour later the wind was persistent and constant. Decision time. Do we press on for a further 55 miles or turn back to the sunny anchorage with restaurant on the beach?
