Cruising again
Our active cruising season has finally started in earnest and it feels so good to be back on the water again, hopping from anchorage to anchorage, watching the weather, planning passages, and exploring new places. Since we left Sweden in July of 2021 we always followed the favorable weather and winds, so we never paused our active sailing. But once we arrived back in Europe we were suddenly faced with seasons again and, between the weather and off-boat travel plans, we ended up effectively pausing cruising for months. Now we're back at it and it is so good. (Pictures are completely out of chronological order.) Our little hidey-hole between Formentera and Ibiza. The entrance was a little hairy with maybe 10cm under our keep at the bar, but once inside we had pond-like conditions during some nasty weather. The kids took over this cave on the hillside and created their own domain, spending days there, including in the rain. Sunshine is back and we moved down to the main anchorage.
