We had a nice sail to Tabaca island anchor over night.

June 8th
Lottie. 3 crew on board went to Tabaca Isla over night lovely sail over 5.5 hrs
It was nice to have a breeze.
The anchorage in the evening there was only 9 yachts, 2 crew slept on deck , but where wakened at 7.00 am when fog horn blowing to see police and lots of safety boats.
Then we looked to the land to see lots of swimmers waiting to start swimming
It took them about 10 min for everyone to be in the water.
They went over to the main land which is 900m it was lovely to see them start
while on board having a nice coffee or tea
We had to motor sail back .
