Ibiza here we come - EP72

After we did all the necessary paperwork to reset Crazy Ivan's UK paid VAT, we set off, with the intentions of heading straight to Ibiza, as the forecasted winds would take us straight there. How wrong were we. We get out, away from the African coast, and nope, the wind didn't take us to the Balearics, in fact there was little to no wind and we ended up motoring for 30 hrs back to the mainland. So we headed for Cartagena, to refuel, resupply and rest. Once the winds looked promising, we headed off back out towards Ibiza, and we have a fantastic downwind sail the whole way there, arriving early hours in Cala Bassa. After a few days, we set off for Mallorca, with our main intention on getting to Sardinia and Sicily. Again, we had a lovely overnight sail to Mallorca and arrived Santa Ponca in the early hours. Whilst in SP we met up with Cartagena friends Barbara and Wolfe of Pink Penguin, and went out for meals, hikes and drinks etc. During our prolonged stayed in SP, due to the exceptionally erratic weather this year, Paul did various below the waterline maintenance jobs, like changing anodes and cleaning the hull.
