Left Balearics

After a brief cruise down to Binirassi, which was too croweded for comfort, we spent a few days watching the weather whilst in Cala Blanco and then Cala Charracca until we saw what looked like a settled period, so after a long restraunt lunch in Portinax we set of on a night sail to the Columbretes, a small group of (ex)volcanic islands of the Spanish coast.
Cala Charraca


The wind was stronger and the sea nastier than forecast, but both died away on the approach and we arrived in sunshine. The main anchorage is in the bowl of the defunct volcano and is spectacular.




After 2 nights we left and the predicted wind materialized giving us a wonderful fetch and reach to the Spanish coast where we will be laying up for the winter.
