Dean
The smallest Balearic Island (only 8 X 10 miles) located just south of Ibiza is known for its laid back atmosphere, extensive sandy beached and nudity. Formentera is home to 6,000 people. Numerous ferries come and go from the only harbour Puerto de Sabina.
There are many anchorages and one lagoon.
We took a stroll through the little town settling on a lovely terrace for lunch overlooking the lagoon. And then it was off to the beach. Had a nice swim and snorkel. There were more fish than I would have anticipated. Not near as plentiful as in the BVI’s of course.
And so many ‘seashells’. Tom only managed to read one page in his book in two hours!
The weather here is so fine. 28 degrees with a light breeze. Lots of blue skies. The Ibizan lifestyle seems to suit the crew, lots of smiles all around.
