We bypassed Cartegena to enter Mar Menor (inland lake) crossing a strip of sand that resembles that great Aussie place , Surfers Paradise (high rise city). A beautifully tranquil 2 days at anchor, albeit sharing the water with millions of jelly fish. Then our trek NE continued via a couple of overnight marina stops and a bumpy anchorage just east of Villajoyosa, our hop off point for a longish sailing and motor sailing day to SW Ibiza. We arrived at a very popular and busy anchorage on the SW corner of the island where we spend a relaxed 36 hours preparing for great friends Anne and Chris Austin to arrive. It was an unusual and adventurous pickup from a random beach just west of the airport. Reminiscent of beach landings and withdrawal out of contact , not quite of the Dunkirke type! Anchorages are the order of the day and we have spent four nights in beautiful places albeit slightly bumpy and rolly at times. Today ( Thursday is it?), we are anchored in a small bay on the NE tip of Ibiza ready to hop over to Majorca tomorrow. More from there.
