Leaving Cartagena: Overnight Sail to Formentera + First Test of Morpheis Smart Anchor Buoy! - S04E06
In this episode, we finally cast off from Cartagena and set sail on an overnight passage to Formentera! The wind and sailing conditions were excellent, but Jude wasn’t feeling her best, so our early morning arrival was a huge relief.
Once anchored, we deployed our brand-new smart GPS Anchor Buoy Morpheis for the very first time. With unsettled weather moving in and several days of rough conditions forecast, having Morpheis on anchor watch gave us real peace of mind. We slept soundly, knowing it was constantly monitoring our position and would alert us if anything went wrong.
Have we finally solved the eternal problem of anchor watch? Watch to find out!
