We left the Golfe de Lion with a roar. It was a torrential rainy passage complete with thunder and lightning. We raised our Spanish courtesy flag for the first time and arrived in Puerto de Selva, Spain which was a very nice small Spanish town with few tourists. No formalities required for Covid as we passed from France into Spain.

Our next stop was Palamos, Spain which was to be our hopping off spot for the Balearic Islands. We had to squeeze into a spot that looked like ½ the size of our boat but again the skipper did a fine job.

Departure planning on Predict Wind determined that leaving the next day for Menorca would be best so we prepared for our first overnight sail.
It was disappointing leaving a good portion of Spain mainland unseen, especially Barcelona. With Spain being hot spot for Covid we decided to leave major ports out of our itinerary and the Balearics was not to be missed.
