Slept well considering the strong wind and squeeky fenders, we went out for breakfast and to investigate the weather for the day.

Left the mooring around 11, little wind in useful direction so motored to Calpe to get there for lunch and avoid the forecast storm.

We had a peaceful night so have decided to stay here for another day, as it is a well protected anchorage and we have 8 days still to get to Valencia.
