It's all gone Baleriacs!

We didn't quite make Carteganea, but Mazaron instead. If you ever want to put your boat in the middle of all night club land then Mazaron is definitely the place. HELL for us oldies! 
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.
