The last islands in the chain and the furthest south are Ibiza, which has a
reputation as a party
island....mostly due to young English people who come here for a week's
boozing. Then the small island of Formentera
In the anchorage of San Antonio a helicopter is fire fighting over the
hill.
 Downtown Ibiza. Having a coffee with Bob and Becky from "Stardust"
(U.S.), Tony and Annie from
"Sunburnt" (AUS) and Joe and Helen from "Dreamcatcher II (AUS).
 The ramp to the old town of Ibiza, known as "Dalt Vila"
   and looking South to Formentera
   Under the town walls.
 Discussing the finer points of 18th. century fortifications.
  A small island off Ibiza - reputedly used in the movie South
Pacific....which makes it the second
island we know that has made this claim, the other being Tioman Island of
the SE coast of
Malaysia.
 Our last anchorage at Playa Empladora - you can see that at long range the
island at the back
has a "South Pacific" look to it.
 A spit of sand joins this island to the next one in the background.
