After a welcome lie in and a healthy breakfast Daren Colin and Andy head off to explore the mediaeval citadel and cathedral whilst Kev and Russ revitualise the boat and Terry had lie in.
The hours walk up to the cathedral through cobbled winding streets covered with mediaeval bunting was tastefully done with colourful street markets. Stunning views over the fortress canons of the southern islands from the summit.
A quick lunch then we slip the lazy line and head north up the coast. Leaving the busy cosmopolitan town of Ibiza behind the true beauty if the island is revealed. Idyllic hamlets between rocky headlands hide occasional white beaches. We shake out the sails and enjoy the peace of 6kts without the engine. Rounding the northeast corner of Ibiza we drop the sails and motor into the enclosed bay of Cala de Portinax. We manage to bag the perfect anchorage in a turquoise sandy 4m patch within swimming distance of the beautiful sandy beach and soon we are all enjoying a beer after a refreshing swim ashore.
The bbq is lit and the lasgoustines fight for space with Colin's freshly caught fish followed by sausage and steak hashe.
The arms race of after dinner playlists is mellowed by the Havana Club.
Tomorrow Mallorca.
