Arrived in Ibiza, Cala Porroig



30 hour sail with variable to excellent winds. One Thunderstorm at night which we detoured around its southern rim.

Anchoring for the first time was troublesome related to issues with the windlass. We abandoned the maneuver and sorted out the technical trouble. About our second attempt we have this beautiful doodle Lunara generated on the chartplotter – see photo. Diving to the anchor showed it wedged in a rock crevesse in 5meters with the chain wrapped around a bolder 🙁

We were lucky to get our gear up in one piece. Finally, 3 hours later, we got the anchor down properly and relaxed withsome bubbly drink.

This morning we woke up to a sizable thunderstorm front moving through the anchorage.

We plan to stay here for the next two days and relax.

Update on Tank Cleaning – Diesel BugUpdate on Tank Cleaning – Diesel Bug

300L diesel in our starboard tank were contaminated with dirt and water. After two years of refueling while adding anti Diesel bug additives, we had the choice to fuel polish (which is a filtering and water separation process) or pump out all fuel, clean the tank and replace it with fresh diesel.

‘Slick Hull’ pumped the tank out (company in Portimao) and cleaned it. We had 3 hour express service. 

Afterwards we filled with initial 60L of fresh diesel and completed the rest at the boat gas station. Interesting the tank gauge showed still empty even when you could see 60L of Diesel swapping around of the tank bottom 🙂
