... Will you just take a look at BT.....Do you notice the difference???? He’s not wearing blue....Billy is rubbing off on BT at last!!! This is as a result of our shopping yesterday...so, pleased with his new colourful look, we went and did yet more shopping today. Not only did BT acquire new coloured t-shirts, but Billy was treated to some fun, colourful shorts! ....We are now both ready to party like never before...we are, after all, in the land of music and parties!!!

We had coffee and croissant ashore, tracked down a supplier for a new belt for the engine...we had problems yesterday and had to change it over as we entered the harbour.... bought ice for the fridge and then set sail ..... heading for San Antonio.

It was a fantastic sail...we trundled along the coast, investigating all the bays and beaches....

cruised along Bossi beach...the main party venue of Ibiza...there’s no need to go ashore to hear the music...it’s so loud you can hear it miles out to sea...even the tourist boast all have music blaring out...oh dear...are we showing our age??? To be fair, there is something for everyone here. If you like loud, thumpy, blary music, drinking and partying then this is the place, but there are also gorgeous, cool beach bars with palm leaves on the roof, sand on the floor and music that floats over you, lulling you into a place of calm and serenity.

The colours of the water were extraordinary as we rounded the lighthouse......vibrant turquoise, bright blue and all the colours in between.

Windekind decided at this point that she wanted to be a superfast superyacht...it was all BT could do to keep her under control! She creamed along at around 7 knots! We passed the iconic ibiza rock...

apparently the 3rd most magnetic place on earth...to finally anchor in Cala Tarida...home to the famous Cotton Club.
