Slipped the lines at Moraira and pointed the bow toward S’Espalmador, a long day that ran past sunset covering 64 nautical miles at an average of 3.6 knots. Wind 3–13 kn from the SW, gusting to 17 kn. It backed from NNW to WSW. Seas up to 0.7m. Current up to 0.7 kn setting E. The crossing to the Balearics — arrived in the middle of the night and dropped anchor by moonlight. Come morning, the anchorage turned out to be breathtaking, a great white-sand beach, and we ended up spending a long day there. Tobi and J took the dinghy over to Formentera to stock up on groceries and hunt down a replacement VHF antenna.
