Answer

How does bad weather affect sea journeys through the Balearic Islands?

Stormy conditions can force boats to change course, return to port or pause near another island such as Mallorca or Menorca. For humanitarian or activist flotillas, that can create delays, repair needs and logistical complications. It also means local ports may suddenly have to deal with arrivals that were not planned in advance.
