Position: 39:02.18N 001:38.40E - Isla de Tagomago, just off Ibiza

 

 

Cala Llonga was my favourite cove in Ibiza so far.  Maybe it was just that it was particularly hot so we were all in and out of the water more often than Tom Daley on a training session.  The water was so clear and shallow we didn't have to worry whether or not the anchor had dug in, we could see it from the deck!

 

 

Chris insisted we went to see the flamingo dancers on Thursday night.  (Yes, he meant flamenco.  He also loves making roast veggies with basmati vinegar - yes, he means balsamic.  I sometimes wonder if he's going from juvenile to senile without bothering with the bit in between).  Between you and me I really didn't want to go, but it was brilliant.  They were young flamenco dancers that gave a bit of a modern twist to the dance and there were so many costume changes the smallest of the dancers needed help with her suitcase when she left.

 

 

We left Cala Llonga before breakfast rather than after to avoid an English guy who needs a bigger anchor and some lessons in where to stick it.  Chores were completed back in Santa Eulalia; fixed sunglasses, patches for Tiny Dancer, mobile broadband, laptop fixed (but all software removed, damn!), and a huge heavy shop at the Eroski supermarket which we wheeled back in two suitcases to the marina where we left Tiny Dancer.

 

 

Today we moved on to a little cove mentioned as a highlight of Ibiza in our 501 Must-Visit Islands book.  It was too small and the swell was into the cove so we couldn't anchor overnight, so we hopped across to Isla de Tagomago, a tiny island just off the North-East of Ibiza.  We'll have a bit of an explore ashore tomorrow and then the winds look good for the 50nM to Majorca on Tuesday.
