Friday afternoon

The day was overcast, but we had a good passage to the Cala Illetes near Palma. Just as we arrived it rained a bit. Several of the other boats that were in the cove when we arrived decided to leave. We found a good spot to anchor.
Lunch was a celebration. We had a bottle of champagne from Fafa and Annabelle’s wedding, to accompany pâté, cheeses and tapenade.
Jibe was eager for a walk, so at around 5:30 we took the dingy in to a small beach. Clara and I finally swam in the Mediterranean. As we floated off the rocky pier we spoke with a local science teacher who had passed through Maracaibo 25 years ago on her way to Guayaquil. She left the cargo ship she was travelling on in Maracaibo and continued across Colombia by bus. She said she now has several Venezuelan students in her class for the first time.
We came back to the boat and enjoyed the 26° water some more off the stern.
After showers we feasted on mushroom salad, sautéed veggies and “magret du canard” – with a background of tangos.
