18th May

What a glorious feeling waking up after a peaceful night secure in a tranquil inlet. The British man sailing alone rowed ashore with his dogs and we headed back to Formentera. It took 3 hours to motor to Caló de S'Oli a large bay just west of Puerto De Sabina, Formentera's harbour. We took the dinghy ashore after lunch. The main town on the island is San Francisco Xavier which is a couple of miles inland. We took a taxi there and arrived shortly before all the shops shut for siesta. Lucinda needs her walk so we took another bus 9km out of town and walked back arriving just in time for the shops to open. It was then back to the harbour and the relief of seeing Imagine still resting to her anchor in the bay. It was a lovely day so something had to go wrong. On the way back my new electric outboard refused to work at anything above half revs. There is no mention of the possibility of anything like this in the handbook. Will BA let me take an outboard back as hand luggage on Friday?
