We had a nice sail up from Espalmador. The wind is turning west and we are picking up Arno from the airport so this is a stop off anchorage before Ibiza City. A nice small Cala, well protected but unfortunately we ( I ) picked the wrong spot to drop the anchor…
Around 2am I felt the wind shift to the North and thought I better check things out seeing as I had expected Westerlies overnight. Hmm 25kn from the North and we are in 1.5m water and getting shallower. We decided to up anchor and move out a bit. Its a pain in the ass in the middle of the night with no lights to get bearings from the shore, but we trusted the chartplotter and reset the anchor. It wasn’t so easy in the conditions, but better safe than sorry. Its always a challenge to pick the right place to anchor. Anyway, we stayed here 2 nights and decided to book into the marina in Ibiza too make picking up Arno simple.
