16th May

Last night was more peaceful, largely because I rearranged the shore lines. However in the process I became stranded on the pontoon and had to get Lucinda out of bed to help which took a lot of yelling. The wind was still strong in the morning and we had to beat into heavy seas to get out of the bay. Once round the corner and heading south we were sailing downwind so everything became a lot pleasanter. Throughout the day the wind kept us guessing blowing between west and east and anything from over 20 knots to zero. We ended up anchored off Espalmador, across the bay from Formentera. We sat on the foredeck (or rather I sat and Lucinda lay) and ate on board.
