A nice lazy sail down to Cala Port Roig. Only 6 knots of wind but we enjoyed sailing and drifting at 3-4 knots most of the way, it’s nice not to be in a hurry for a change.
Port Roig is on the South coast of Ibiza and the sailing book describes it as serene. They’re not wrong, its a beautiful anchorage, not much around except a few houses and fisherman’s huts on the beach. Its well protected from all except the South West.
We came into the anchorage and saw a large empty bay in the Northern corner with clear aqua water and sandy bottom, slowly shelving from 3-4m. Perfect !
Dropped anchor and snorkelled around to explore a bit and check the anchor. A light sea breeze kicked in and blew a few jellyfish into the bay so that's the end of swimming for today.
The mauve stinger can apparently hurt a bit, although I’ve heard some guys say they just sting a bit for a while, no problem..but Jen definitely isn’t convinced!
We had planned to head to Espalmador today, but decided Port Roig is too nice to leave, so we will stay a few more days and enjoy the Serenity!
We swam to the beach and went for a walk up the cliff track. A definite contrast to the Ibiza city scene..
Later in the day after a yummy juice we saw a couple of girls staring to do Yoga on the deck outside one of the fishing huts. We swam in and asked if we could join them and they said sure thing. We stretched and tried to remember some postures and had fun. Turned out it was a Yoga instructor and her Mum and they invited us to do a class with them the next morning. Jen woke before me! We swam to the little jetty and did an hour and a half of Hard Yoga, it was so hot in the morning sun, but we felt great after..another beautiful way to start the day!
We could stay in this anchorage a lot longer but unfortunately the wind is heading to the SW so its time to explore somewhere else…
