Good run to Ibiza

X86

Whoooo, just about sailed all the way. VictoryCat got their screetcher out and pulled ahead by 45 mins. Took around 9 hours to cross. Excellent run.
Failed to find a good Anchorage for a couple of bay, then hooked a good one, with just us two cats in. Busy beach, but ok bar for a couple of swifties. Wind dropped to nought - peaceful night - left at 09:30.
