Last Sunday at 12:47 UTC, you were pootling at 10kts about half way from Palma to Ibiza.
At 39.29484 N/2.03912 E, for sake of accuracy.
But then, you must have switched your AIS transponder off... :rolleyes:
 
If it weren't that your knowledge of the Baldricks is way better than mine, I would swear it's Puerto San Miguel instead.
And I'd dare saying that there's a decent (Spanish) fish restaurant on the right border of the beach, looking at the first of previous Hurricane's pics.
It wouldn't be the first time I'm wrong, though! :rolleyes:

Thanks P
We are booked in there tonight so lets hope it is as good as you say.
BTW we didn't switch off the AIS but I agree Marine Traffic and Vesselfinder both indicate that we "went dark" - in fact, we didn't.

So, well done to all those who said it was San Miguel.
We are planning another night here before returning to Sant Carles.
This trip was always going to be a bit of a rush.
"A One Week Wonder".

We had a great overnight in Portinatx - good anchor position (front row) - and a good meal in the Chinese Restaurant.
I have some pics - I'll see if I can upload them.

It has been quite a challenge working the weather and getting the boat ready for the season.
For various reasons, we are probably staying put in Sant Carles for the summer months but I would like another trip out here late season (mid Sept to mid Oct) - maybe 3 weeks - again depending on weather.
The water is usually warm and the crowds have gone.

EDIT
Portinatx - on Monday evening

Well, I only said "decent"... :D
TBH, we had some paella de mariscos, which is not the best recipe for evaluating the food quality, but FWIW, it was actually good - probably the best we had anywhere in Ibiza.
And I half remember that they had several nice looking fresh fishes available, if as I can guess paella wouldn't be exactly exciting for you...
 
On this trip, our first night was in Calobra on the north coast of Mallorca.

We have been there several times before - great anchorage when the weather is right.

Here is a pic

We then had a couple of nights in Santa Ponsa and one in Palma before heading to Ibiza.

But all good things come to an end - so it is back to Sant Carles tomorrow.

When I get home, I thought I would put a short video together - if anyone is interested.
