Ibiza and Formentera Island.

Position at anchor in Cala Saona, Formentera Island: North 38*26'151 East 001*23'216
Previous position at anchor off Las Salinas beach, Ibiza: North 38*50'435 East 001*23'382
Previous Position at anchor in Cala Boix, Ibiza: North 39*01'738 East 001*36'507

We're currently anchored off the west Coast of an Island called Formentera just south of the Island of Ibiza. The water is 10 feet deep and a beautiful turquoise colour, so crystal clear that we can see our anchor snuggly hooked up into the white sand ahead of us. We haven't seen an anchorage like this since the Maldives and it's hard to believe we're in the Mediterranean!

To be honest Ibiza was a very pleasant shock to me, I'd never been here before and it being pretty much the clubber's Mecca of the world didn't bring up images like the one I'm looking at! Gorgeous sandy beaches, great sailing and on the north side of Ibiza loads of beautiful little Cala's (bays) surrounded by towering rock formations...if only we had more time. It would be easy to spend a month or more here exploring the coasts but as usual we have a schedule and the Atlantic is calling!
