Sea Otter's Year of Adventure: Ibiza
8/14/2010
First internet connection in almost a week Left Almerimar on Monday After a 43 hour passage we picked up a mooring buoy off Ensa de la Canal at the south end of Ibiza Stayed there two nights On Friday a strong East wind had picked up and so we dropped plans to hop east to another island, but instead round the western end of the island, anchoring in Cala Binirras by Pto de S.
Miguel The swell increased into the evening and we had a rolly night with not much sleep Looking for better shelter from the waves we have continued east and are now anchored in Cala Portinatx, which is very nice, and not as rolly.
More details may follow.
