Cabrera (N39.08 E2.57) is a National Park and nature reserve.  Naturally you need a permit to go into the waters surrounding it. Naturally we don't have one since we hadn't planned to go but equally naturally that was the perfect destination for the wind direction we had.  So we took a quick detour to the east of the island since there are severe penalties if you get caught inside the park with no permit.
 
We think we'll head for Porto Puetro and we should get there by the end of the afternoon.  We have discovered that even with only 7kt of wind with some careful trimming we can get 6kt over the ground!
