Ibiza

After a very uneventful 8 hour crossing we are in Ibiza! There was very little wind so we motored most of the way in lovely sunshine and near flat seas. Our first stop is a cala named Portinatx which is very well sheltered and reasonably busy, but there was just enough room for us to squeeze in. We decided to stay tonight a well and quite a few more boats have come in, as I write this I am keeping a close eye on a French boat trying to anchor less than a boat length away! They have tried to set their CQR 6 times and are on their 7th attempt! Don't buy a CQR!

The bay is surrounded by some fairly typical "Brits Abroad" hotels and bars which do slightly ruin the peacefulness as they have parties well in to the night!

We are going to head round to San Antonio bay tomorrow to re-supply and then hopefully we will be able to pick up a mooring buoy in Formentera for a couple of nights.

P.S.
Carol has just come up on deck and informed me that the boat that is still having trouble setting it's CQR is actually Dutch which has put my mind at rest slightly!
