This trip is nearly 60nm so as I wanted to arrive
in daylight I left at 0600. Firstly the compulsory picture of Minka on her berth
in Denia Marina.
 Whilst in Denia I had a look round and have at last
identified a nice looking Spanish built boat. It is the Northwind 47 and looks
great on the water. There was a 1990 one for sale in Denia for 169,000
euros.
 She has quite a cute derriere.
 Or as someone put it "she has eyes in her
a*se".
I think this one is called PIXAPO which presumably
means something in Spanish.If I was to buy a larger boat it would be something
like this. It's ok Minka....... just window shopping!
When we left Denia in the dark it was quite
exciting as there was lightning coming from three directions. It was
flashing so often it made it very easy to see our way out of the marina and
harbour. The journey was quite hard work as the wind kept changing direction and
strength. It also rained quite a lot. A few photos approaching
Ibiza.
  This is the bay where the marina is to
the right out of shot.
 San Antonio. Finally my favourite
picture......
 This is the rock at the headland before turning in
to San Antonio. It gives a feel for the weather.
Yesterday my friend Mike arrived and he is staying
for a week. Unfortunately it looks like being a wet week so we will probably
just circumnavigate Ibiza.
