From 0 to 35 knots 🗻🌬️ - La Fabriquilla

Julie

We sail out of the bay with the genoa unfurled on a beam reach. The waves are rough but manageable, until the fridge door suddenly flies open. Luckily, it shuts with the next wave, preventing any serious damage. As we reach Cabo de Gata, the wind strengthens to 25 knots but drops off completely behind the mountain where we plan to anchor. The following day, we experience a bizarre local wind phenomenon: sudden gusts ranging from 0 to 35 knots within seconds coming from all directions. Our boat swings wildly, and while snorkeling, we find our anchor buried so deep in the sand that it’s no longer visible. Despite this, it easily frees itself after a few days, and we sail away from our windy anchorage.
