Hi Chris, As far as I'm lead to believe, yes. I think most of the European boats come by sea but yes, the Barcelona, Alicante and Denia to Palma are expensive. I can do it with a 6mtr camper van and the boat, for just over €600 return. Yes, the seas can change quickly, dependant on the wind direction. I delivered a 55ft motor sailer, last March (06) to Mahon, in Menorca. We left Port Bonaire at 6am, headed due east, for Cuitadella then ran down the coast, as I wasn't too sure of the boat. An 8 hour trip, with 5 to 6 foot swell, pushed by a moderate south easterly. Not the best crossing, rolling about all the way across.
Today was like a mill pond. Just got back from my local port (Calla Bona) and as far out as you can see, it's barely more than a ripple. Could change any minute and build up quickly, that's the challenge, isn't it.
It also pays to know the local fishermen; they know the waters better than any meteorological site.
Peter
