The weather has been pretty awful for the last week
which is a shame for Michael. However. we have done some sailing. We went from
San Antonio to Sabina on Isla Formentera and then through the gap between Ibiza
and Formentera up to Ibiza Town. The next day we carried on north to Santa
Eulalia where we stayed two days to avoid some nasty weather. On Saturday we
sailed back to San Antonio by the southern route so we haven't circumnavigated
quite Ibiza Island. The sailing has been interesting with some quite strong but
very variable winds. The most interesting was as we were rounding the headland
back into San Antonio it veered suddenly by 50 degrees and tried to park us on
the rocks as we were being steered by the wind vane.
Since Michael left the weather has improved and I
sailed back to Denia two days ago and today sailed south to Altea on
my way back to Cartagena where I will leave Minka when I return to the UK for
Christmas.
I have been having more technical problems with
photos so will try to insert some later. The other technical problem I had today
was with the holding tank emptying pump. Not a pleasant job but fixed very
simply if somewhat fragrantly.
