We make an early morning 6 am departure from our overnight anchorage of Playa de Carbo on the south easterly coast of MallorcaHalf an hour later we are leaving the coast of Mallorca heading towards IbizaThis morning we have perfect conditions for our crossing to the southern most island of the Balaeric Islands
Five hours later we are nearing the island of IbizaApproaching Isla Tagomago off the northeastern coast of AbizaIsla Tagomago has a couple of small anchorages on the north eastern side of the islandThe western side of Isla Tagomago has another good anchorgeCala San Vincente, a popular tourist destination on the north east coast of AbizaPunta VallsThere is a sunken ship off the coast of Carbo Roig which is unmarked on the maps, so we decide to take a wide berth around the pointCala Mastella with popular restaurant ashoreWe continue down the coast past a few lovely bays to Puerto de Santa Eulalia del Rio
Anchored in the bay by Puerto de Santa Eulalia del Rio is the super yacht called ACENearby is another rather large vessel called Garcon…..which looks like it travels with ACE and carries all the toys!!
We enter the marina at Puerto de Santa Eulalia in order to fill up the fuel tanks of the Tangaroa
After fueling up, we continue south down the east coast of IbizaDesperate for a swim we enter the popular sheltered bay, Cala LlongaThis normally busy bay had only a handful of boats on anchor in the long narrow bay today when we arrivedA catamaran is moored by the tiny little beach at the entrance to the bayAs we continue south we pass the main town of Puerto Ibiza, which is the capital of the Island of Ibiza
Fishing is one of the important industries of Puerto Ibiza and numerous boats come and go from the port everyday……always followed by huge flocks of birds!!
We decide to continue on south to Isla Formentera which we had not as yet visitedMaking our way to the south east point of Ibiza we can see Islas Formentera, Espalmador and EspardelWe near Isla Formentera which is a small island off the south east coast of Ibiza which has only one port and limited facilitiesWe arrive in Cala Raco d’es Mares which was the most favourable anchorage to stay in overnightA rather large 95 m super yacht called Palladium was moored in the same bayAnother attractive yacht to keep us company overnight in Cala Raco d’es Mares
