Formentera: Cala Saona ⚓

Formentera, the colors of the water around this island are unbelievably beautiful. Due to the strong swell we unfortunately didn't even spend 24 hours on Formentera. Yet, we are very happy we crossed from Ibiza to Formentera even though it was only for a day. We wouldn't want to have missed these colors.

We left our anchorage Es Bol Nou together with Beautje. Of course, they were much faster than us again. But! that also meant that Lajla told us to sail on as far as possible into the anchorage so she could take some pictures with us and capture the beautiful colors. Wow, they turned our amazing!!

Beautje needed some groceries so we went on land to find a small supermarket. After we had docked their dinghy at one of the local boathouses we had to go through, we're pretty sure, someone's backyard to get to the road. Some construction workers stared at us like they just saw some aliens land from somewhere else in the universe when we came out of the bushes. They were able to tell us that the supermarket was very far. They turned out to be right.

We walked to the first so called supermarket which was supposed to be open. But, it was another one of the small stores that are part of a hotel, which of course aren't open yet. We walked some more kilometers before we decided to turn around because the bigger store was still kilometers away. On top of that the surroundings of our walk weren't that pretty. So we returned to our boats and we put something together with what we could find on board and had another cozy dinner together.

The swell started to come into the anchorage more and more as the night progressed. As a result, we didn't have a very good night's sleep and we agreed together with Beautje that our visit to Formentera was going to be short but sweet, and with sweet we mean beautiful.Read more
