Mallorca, Santa Posa

Hello sorry no update yesterday, Sunday, but we left our anchorage to the south west of Ibiza and headed first west along the bottom of the island. I should point out that we did part of this trip under sail alone but our best speed was only 2.5 knots, average probably just under 2. But once we pass Isla Verda we were becalmed so packed the sails and motored north. We had hoped to anchor up at least for lunch at Cala Badella but it was buoyed in the shallower water and we would have had to anchor in 39ft of water too much, so we motored on stopping just to the east of Cala Tarida where I went for a swim and John rowed around the bay it was small but water very clear. Once back at the boat I noticed rope around the prop, took about 10 mins to unwind and remove it. After checking the forecast and seeing a settled day Monday we decided to carry on up the west coast of the island through the channel between Isla Conjera and Isla Bosque with 5foot under keel then up past San Antonio port and on to Cala Binirras to anchor for the night. There was only 1other boat but loads of people on the beach and drummers and fire jugglers pretty good luckily it stopped around 10, we were concerned it would last all night! Then today well we set off at 9am continued up the coast of Ibiza and then continuing north east for 54miles and we are now in Santa Ponsa in Mallorca. John says we have travelled 359 miles since we left Almerimar last Sunday must some sort of record for us! This anchorage is a beautiful big shallow sheltered bay. Have found out I can caption the photos that will make it easier to know where they are.Read more
