2018-09-01 Cala Binniras to Cala Es Canaret, Ibiza, Islas Baleares, Spain
Another beautiful dayCala Binniras is a fabulous bay for swimmingThe water is crystal clearRic loves diving for miniature abalone shells for the granddaughtersEarly afternoon we head ashore by dinghyThe beach here in Cala Binniras is quite busy todayThere are row of casual restaurants by the beachWe decide to try ElementsWe order a couple of refreshing drinks and a bowl of local mussels to shareThe mussels cooked in a spicy tomato sauce were deliciousAfter our lunch we head back to the TangaroaThe rock at the entrance to the bay has an uncanny resemblance to Queen VictoriaThe water police arrive and go from boat to boat telling the boat owners that anchoring in Cala Binniras is no longer allowed as the anchors damage the natural seagrass. Apparently over the coming months mooring buoys will to be placed in the bayWe decide to do the right thing and pull up our anchor and head to another bayMuch further up the coast we approach Cap Blanc and head into Cala Es Canaret which is a good safe anchorageWe join a group of other boats already anchored in the bayWe decide to anchor in the centre of the large bay so we have a good distance to swim ashore in all directionsThe water is slowly starting to cool down however it still is well above what most people would call cool!!As there is very little pollution in this area of the Balearics, the water is quite clearFor our dinner this evening, Ric cooks one of his fabulous pizzas in our Tasmanian barbecue A nice vino tinto accompanies our delicious pizza with plenty of fresh tomato and jalapenosThe white tower in the corner of the bay appears to be some form of accommodation
